LOT 040 - Oracle Red Bull Racing 2009-2012 Pit Stop Lollipop
Auction Details
Story
This pit stop ālollipopā comes was once used for promotional displays with Oracle Red Bull Racing, and matches the designs used between 2009 and 2012. Lollipops are some the most recognisable tools in motorsport, ensuring drivers are perfectly positioned in their pit box and released safely back into the race.Ā
Pit Stops ā Precision in SecondsĀ
F1Ā® pit stops are among the most finely drilled routines in sport, often taking less than three seconds. Every team member plays a crucial role, and the lollipop person is responsible for signalling when to brake, when to engage gears and when to launch back into the action.Ā
Though Red Bull Racing now uses modern traffic-light gantries for their pit releases, the lollipop remains a symbol of the human skill and teamwork behind the spectacle. This authentic item reflects those used by the team, making it a rare piece of equipment from one of the sportās most dominant outfits. Likely used for promotional displays, this is the perfect collectorās piece.Ā
Oracle Red Bull Racing LegacyĀ
Since their debut in 2005, Red Bull Racing have grown into one of F1ās powerhouse teams, securing multiple Constructorsā and Driversā Championships with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. The lollipop represents not just the art of pit stops, but also the operational excellence that underpins the teamās on-track success.Ā
For collectors, it is a fascinating and unusual artefact ā a piece reflecting garage equipment that represents the teamwork behind every Championship campaign.Ā
