... gives you wings, well, not necessarily in the 2017 season, from which the model originates, but otherwise, this relatively young racing team already has an impressive success story. While Red Bull has been a Formula 1 sponsor since 1995, they only took the step to becoming their own racing team in 2005. In 2019, this team—one could even call it a kit racing team—plans to switch engine manufacturer from Renault (TAG Heuer) to Honda, as has already happened with sister team Toro Rosso.

Both 1:32 models are faithfully reproduced. I personally particularly like the matte finish of the blue paint; it's something different. There's nothing wrong with the workmanship and printing; the quality has reached a truly high level.

In terms of performance, Carrera's Formula 1 cars are actually on par, with the usual fairly narrow margins of variation. The two "Red Bulls" are no exception. So, once again, the deciding factor for the podium is primarily the driver... and that's a good thing.
