Yesterday I was privileged to have an incredible day out courtesy of Infiniti Red Bull F1. My son and I arrived at 9am at the Red Bull factory in Milton Keynes at 9am for a factory tour. The first place we saw (after the 50ft high trophy cabinet in the reception) was the executive offices. Christian Horner wasn't in his office but Adrian Newey was in his and we watched him drawing designs on his massive drawing board. He works in pencil and uses set squares etc. rather than CAD. It was a "to keep" moment to see perhaps the greatest F1 designer at work.
We then went on a complete tour of their facilities and saw their amazing machinery and the places where the 600 or so team members work. Fascinating stuff.
Then we transferred to Silverstone to see the F1 Test. We met several of the drivers from various teams and had photos especially with Daniel Ricardo who was a really nice guy.
We filmed in the pit lane, on the pit wall, in the garages in hospitality. We visited Force India and McLaren who also had us in their hospitality. The whole day was hosted/based from the Redbull hospitably unit where we (and the drivers) ate.
I will always remember yesterday and to make sure I do the team gave us a small piece of carbon from one of the cars made into a paperweight. An awesome day out. Thank you Infiniti Redbull F1
