What was your best day at Red Bull Racing?
February 1, 2015 at the launch of the “CamoBull”. We spent months planning the release of the new RB11, trying to keep the fact that it would be revealed for the first time in black and white camouflage a secret. We often thought there was information leaked, but that wasn’t the case. It all made possible an incredible morning in Jerez, with the highlight when the garage doors opened and the RB11 entered the pit lane. It was my first big campaign with Red Bull Racing and it’s a moment I’ll never forget.
