Red Bull has unveiled the special one-off livery that will adorn the RB19 cars of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in this weekend's Miami Grand Prix.
Earlier this year, as a celebration of Formula 1's growing popularity in the United States, Red Bull announced a 'Make Your Mark' competition whereby fans were handed a chance to design three special RB19 liveries for each of the Miami, Austin and Las Vegas races in 2023.
Graphic student Martina Andriano, from Argentina, created the pink, blue and purple winning design that will be run in Miami and which was selected by team boss Christian Horner and by representatives from team sponsors Oracle, Bybit and Mobil1.
"The Make Your Mark initiative is great, to give our fans the opportunity to influence our design at the three USA races is something you just don’t see other teams doing," said Horner.
"It’s important to the Team to be able to involve our fans in what we do and give them unique opportunities like this.
"I think Martina, has done a great job and the livery looks incredible when you see it in real life.
"The design keeps the ethos of who we are but introduces Miami to the RB19 as well. We are definitely going to stand out when you see that car on track.
"I’m intrigued to see what people come up with for Austin and of course Las Vegas, that promises to be really exciting."
As Red Bull Racing's special guest, Martina Andriano will be on site this weekend in Miami to see her design in action. She explained the inspiration behind her work.
"The moment when I found out I’d won I was shocked and speechless, I couldn’t believe it - it feels like a crazy dream," Martina admitted.
"The first thing I thought about when I started my design was how the air flows through and over the car, then how it moves and how fast it is and that is where my inspiration came from.
"Then, of course I wanted to represent Miami and Miami’s race so all of that was the inspiration.
"Since I started studying my degree in graphic design I wanted to design something for a car, like a livery, a suit or a helmet, and even before that I knew that one day I wanted to work in Formula One so getting this opportunity from Oracle Red Bull Racing is something huge.
"This is going to be my first ever race, the car is going to have my design and I’m going to be in the garage. It’s going to be an amazing week."
For good measure, two-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen will sport a one-off lid for Miami inspired by the Magic City's vibrant atmosphere.
