Red Bull RB7 (9)
In my opinion, 2011 Red Bull RB7 is one of the prettiest Formula 1 cars ever. But of course, the most beautiful racecar is the fastest one. And the RB7 was certainly that, winning 12 of 19 races (11 by Sebastian Vettel, 1 by Mark Webber) and securing pole position in all but one race. The RB7 was a technical marvel with its ultra-slim coke bottle packaging and exhaust-blown diffuser. Vettel mastered the blown diffuser, claiming records for most podium finishes (17), pole positions (15), laps led (739), and wins from pole in a season (9). At the age of 24, Vettel became the youngest ever to score a grand slam (pole position, win, fastest lap, and led every lap) and become a double F1 World Drivers' Champion.
This approximately 1:15 scale model was extremely fun and satisfying to build, but by no means easy; replicating the coke bottle shape of the engine cover was a tough challenge. I've always loved the Red Bull F1 cars from Vettel's time with the team, but have been prevented from building one in LEGO due to its complex livery. But now thanks to Steve Hall (Instagram: @stevehallego) who made the stickers, it's been made a reality!
