Red Bull to run James Bond livery at Silverstone

Red Bull will have a license to thrill at the British Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly's RB15s will be fitted with James Bond liveries.

F1 heads to Silverstone ticking up its 1007th race, and the symmetry to Bond's MI6 code – 007 – was too good an opportunity to miss for the team's title sponsor Aston Martin, whose cars have featured in the film series for decades.

As such, Verstappen and Gasly will run specially branded cars around Silverstone this weekend.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "Celebrating Bond at F1's 1007th race was too good an opportunity to miss given our title partnership with Aston Martin.

EON Productions and @astonmartin are teaming up to celebrate the 1,007th @F1 at @SilverstoneUK this weekend. The two Aston Martin @Redbullracing cars will feature the iconic 007 logo and Bond number plates on the back of their rear wings #BritishGP #F1007 #F1 pic.twitter.com/aEcC8rrWta
— James Bond (@007) July 11, 2019

"Showcasing the world of James Bond here at the British Grand Prix, our second home race of the season, is really exciting. Aston Martin is inextricably linked to Bond and his cars have become truly iconic so we're really looking forward to this weekend at Silverstone."
