Red Bull know how to celebrate

Crazy lot

Red Bull celebrate 2009 season in style

Following a season that saw them clinch five pole positions, six victories and second place in the constructors’ championship, Red Bull can be forgiven for spending a little time celebrating before they knuckle down to their 2010 preparations. And last weekend the team did just that, throwing an extravagant party for the entire team at a country house near their Milton Keynes factory.

The evening, held at Aynhoe Park, was hosted by British Formula One television presenter Jake Humphrey, and the team’s drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, and senior management figures including team principal Christian Horner and chief technical officer Adrian Newey were all in attendance.

The celebrations got underway with a bang thanks to a display by 12-time world trials champion Dougie Lampkin, who came into the marquee on his motorbike and performed a few wheelies and a burnout. Vettel then made his way down the red carpet in an RB5.

There was then an awards ceremony, with prizes handed out to everyone from the ‘Worst IT Offender’ to the team’s ‘Unsung Hero’, followed by live music sets from British band Razorlight and DJ Erok.

Work hard - play hard. That's all that comes to mind. Good on them though.

Exactly my thought.

Isn't there a member of the Red Bull team here? Aerodynamicist?

Still getting over the party now, they missed the bit about Lampkin bunny-hopping onto the bar and then pulling a wheelie all the way down it

The antidote to McLaren, Ferrari etc who take it far too seriously. Excellent.

So who won 'Worst IT Offender' then?

Luckily not me, it was someone that decided to use the race communication uplink on a Friday morning to upload 4GB of files off of their Ipod!!!

Was reminded by the Mrs today of my verbal battering of Jake Humphrey!

What could a bloke after countless JD and cokes possibly ask JH when he is stood next to me at the bar? The question i thought all OcUK motors boys would love answering.

"Oi Jake, can you get rid of that wa**** Leggard?"

Seemed like a reasonable question at the time

Skeeter · 8 Dec 2009 at 22:04

Seems like a reasonable request at any time, by anyone.

MagicBoy · 8 Dec 2009 at 22:16

Legard isn't that bad, especially after fathead.

Very reasonable

Fathead and Leg-end are both annoying in their own ways.
