Flying in the Red Bull World Championship is very much a team effort according to the pilots who compete.

It’s non-stop for everyone involved and with every year that passes, the pressure on team members increases as the sport fast becomes a global phenomenon.

As in all motorsport disciplines, the person at the controls tends to get the most attention as the ‘ambassador’ of the race team but in reality the pilot is supported by key people who make it all happen long before they hear the ‘Smoke On’ signal to fly into the track.
