F1 News: Red Bull Reveals Las Vegas Fan Livery Ahead Of The Inaugural Grand Prix

The livery comes from the Make Your Mark competition

For the last time this season, Red Bull revealed its special fan-designed Las Vegas livery from the Make Your Mark competition, which allowed fans to create their favorite livery. The RB19s of both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez sport the newly painted in Las Vegas for the inaugural Grand Prix. 

During the RB19 pre-season launch, Red Bull revealed plans to allow fans to create the livery for three races in America, starting with its debut in Miami in May and followed by Austin in October.

Lindsay Palmer, from Essex in the UK, had her unique design selected from a pool of thousands of entries. Her creation boasts a purple base with neon lights in purple and yellow running through the bodywork, promising to stand out as the RB19 speeds under the vibrant Las Vegas lights this weekend. Expressing her excitement as she witnessed her work on display on the Strip, Palmer told the media:

“I was so excited to be selected as the winner for Make Your Mark Las Vegas and was completely lost for words when I won.

“When thinking about what represents Vegas, the first thing that came to mind were the casinos and the bright lights, so I knew this had to be incorporated in my design.

“I wanted the style to emulate the cars whizzing past the neon lights and I had to make sure playing cards were added too. When I visited the factory, it was amazing seeing the livery come to life and the creation process.

“I am so excited to go to the race, I have never been to Vegas before and the fact that I can see my car come to life under the iconic Las Vegas lights will be an incredible experience. I cannot wait to see it on track.”

The RB19's wheels are in alignment with the theme of the Strip as the PokerStars 'Poker Chip' highlights the black, red, and white colors. The design offers the look and feel of a poker chip and sports the PokerStars Red Spade. Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner added:

“It is brilliant to be rounding off our third and final Make Your Mark competition this season here in Nevada for the inaugural Las Vegas GP. 

“It is such a unique way to bring fans into the heart of the team, giving them the opportunity to design and vote for our Las Vegas livery through our free loyalty programme, The Paddock.

“We have revealed a fan-designed livery at every US race this year and each design has well and truly delivered; it was quite the task picking a winner. Congratulations to Lindsay, who really put Vegas’ iconic stamp on the design, capturing the energy and excitement of both the city and the team. Very much looking forward to seeing it racing around the streets of Las Vegas.

“From what I have seen on the sim though, that long straight is an incredibly fast one, so you are going to have to keep a close eye on things as the cars fly past under the bright lights of The Strip. It is going to be a special race made even more special by celebrating with a fan-designed livery as we head into the final US race of the season.”
