A few months back, I answered the call for a design submission from @redbullracing F1 for their Miami special edition car livery. As a fan of the sport and having driven a single-seater at the team’s F1 racetrack before, I knew I had to make time for this opportunity. I went full geek-mode as I aimed to merge the technical and visual elements of F1 to create a livery that was both creative and grounded by the technical mastery behind the RB19.
Redbull got in touch with me to inform me that while my livery wasn't the one chosen to be featured on the car, it had still caught their attention and so they wanted to showcase it at the race weekend in Miami. If only they had given me enough heads up to head to Miami 🙄😅
The design: I took my cue from the Miami sunset and the aerodynamics and vortices created by the sleek curves of the RB19 car. The blue night sky represents the cool air, while the red hues of the Miami sunset depict the hot air generated by the RB power-unit. The two streams collide and create a spiralling effect, mimicking the energy of bulls locking horns in the RedBull logo. The final result is a livery that embodies movement, speed, and energy - the core values of RB F1. I used the brand's colours to keep the car easily recognisable on the track, while still giving it the feel of a special edition livery that’s not easily missed.

The response has been amazing. Thank you to everyone who has messaged or commented. I’m equally surprised and grateful for that reaction.
