Special and one-off liveries are synonymous with Formula One. This time Oracle Red Bull Racing have teamed up with internationally acclaimed artist Mr Doodle to create a hand-drawn one-of-a-kind livery – The Doodle Bull – on the iconic RB14. In collaboration with Christie's.
Mr Doodle, otherwise known as Sam Cox, is a British artist who rose to fame in 2017 and has since doodled his entire house while taking the art world by storm. He’s now turned his attention to Formula One, after being invited to doodle the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB14.
Imprinting his signature style by hand across the entire static show car, Mr Doodle left only one space blank. Inviting the Team’s drivers Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez and two-time world champion Max Verstappen to sign the rear-wing end plate alongside his own signature.
The auction for this one-off collaboration will run for three weeks and the profits from the sale of the Doodle Bull will be supporting the official charity of Oracle Red Bull Racing: Wings for Life.

Wings for Life is a not-for-profit globally recognised foundation for spinal cord research with one sole aim: to find a cure for spinal cord injury. Since inception, Wings for Life have funded 276 projects across 17 counties all over the world to help 679 leading experts, scientists and physicians carry out cutting-edge research and clinical trials.
Wings for Life groundbreaking work has enabled people like Steven Dowd walk again. In 2016, Steven came off his bike and broke his neck and was left with no sensation or movement below his injury site.
“Wings for Life were my absolute lifeline. Hand on heart, I would say, without the experimental intervention from Professor Papadopoulos and his team, funded by Wings for Life, I don’t think I’d have had the foundation to move forwards.”
To be partnering with Christie's means Wings for Life are one step close in finding a cure for people like Steven.
“Wings for Life are absolutely delighted to be partnering with Christie's. This unique and exclusive piece of art by Mr Doodle and Oracle Red Bull Racing will help revolutionise how we look at spinal cord injury, and fund pioneering research projects that have and will continue to change people’s lives.”
