Haynes Workshop Manual for the Red Bull F1 Car
When Red Bull Racing launched their new car for 2011, the event was marked by a very special press pack. The pack was formatted in the style of the well-known Haynes maintenance manuals (PDF). This in itself this was a great book, but almost unnoticed within its pages was the intended publishing of a complete Haynes style workshop manual on the RB6 car.
Now some six months later the Haynes Red Bull Racing F1 Car Owners Workshop Manual (RB6 2010) has been published. As its rare a Technical F1 book is published, not least one with insight into such a current car, I’ve decided to review the book in detail.
Media-baiting setup or not, watching Nico Rosberg hot-lap the Nürburgring in the rain (after having had only one ride-along lap — from Michael Schumacher) with a terrified David Coulthard in the right seat is worth the branding cynicism.
“We’re gonna lift off the track, and we’re gonna fly for 20 meters. I’m going to go absolutely flat out over the bump.” Rosberg says, as Coulthard searches for something to hang on to. Easy with the color man, Nico. Brundle can’t call your races alone.
