2006 saw the Team enter its second season in F1. People had taken notice of the Team. The boldness, the loud music, but it was still just a ‘fizzy drinks company’. That all changed in Monaco.
The Team was promoting the blockbuster movie Superman Returns and had a special livery on the car, and the drivers race suits were designed to look like Superman’s outfit. Against all odds, David Coulthard secured the team’s first-ever top-three finish, famously wearing a red cape on the podium (which he’d asked permission from Prince Albert to do). The cape was then worn by Christian Horner as he dove into the Monaco pool hours later celebrating the Team’s success.
To honour this moment the REBL ARTFCT is a limited-edition cape, paying tribute to a defining moment in the formation of the Team’s culture and the REBL spirit: the moment that Red Bull Racing proved it wasn’t just there to ruffle feathers or make up the numbers, but to compete.
The cape is presented flat and square inside a ‘race suit’ style case that can be hung up. The cape is signed by Christian Horner and presented alongside a picture of his famous pool jump in Monaco. And most importantly it represents what the Team thinks of its drivers; “We want the drivers to be heroes. If he crashes the car, trying, if he’s going for it, I don’t care.” Explained Christian.
