This is one of the most anticipated moments every year by motorsport fans. The Goodwood Festival, held in West Sussex, England, took place last week from Thursday to Sunday. Four intense days that allowed to see a variety of historical cars and motorcycles mixed with some more current ones. The festival was also marked by the presence of multiple Formula 1 drivers and teams, who took the opportunity to promote their brands through different car models.<\/p>\n
Among them, how could we not mention Red Bull, which arrived with seven different Formula 1 cars, driven by some of their top drivers to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the energy drink brand in the top discipline of motor sport. Daniel Ricciardo did a few laps in the RB7, Mark Webber in the RB6, and then the triple world champion Max Verstappen from the Netherlands made the engine of the RB16 roar, the car with which he won his first world championship in 2021.<\/p>\n

This event also provided an opportunity to unveil the famous Hypercar RB17 by Adrian Newey, a revolutionary car with a top speed higher than its Formula 1 counterparts, while retaining amazing handling that makes it a usable car for everyday driving.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nHowever, Red Bull was not the only team present at Goodwood, as five other teams were also there: Alpine, Williams, McLaren, Mercedes, and Scuderia Ferrari. On the French side, Jack Doohan, reserve driver, and the two drivers from the academy Kush Maini and Sophia Fl\u00f6rsch, were sent to test the old cars from the French brand, notably the E20, a single-seater raced during the 2012 Formula 1 season, when the team was still called Lotus and held a victory that season thanks to Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
