Red Bull Use The Abbey To Get The Winning Habit
By Ian Lockwood
January 24 2010
The Red Bull Racing Team have geared up mentally and physically to take the fight to the competition at the world renowned Bisham Abbey.

The team chose Bisham Abbey - the choice of UK Olympians and national and international rugby, hockey, golf and tennis players - because the training offered was also able to test and report on hand-eye coordination – all important with this season’s quicker pit stops.

Jonathan Wheatley, Team Manager, explains “Everyone had been away for Christmas so this was a way of nice and gently re-focussing everyone before the car build and winter testing.”

“It was getting everyone to work together as a team and find out what the strengths and weaknesses were and it will be interesting to see how that fits in with the jobs that they do,”

As well as the anticipated physical exertion, the team were put through their mental paces too.

“We have got a guy here who eats nothing but chips and crisps,” said Jonathan. "He’s as skinny as you could imagine, but he has got the most amazing hand to eye coordination. So it’s not all to do with fitness.”

“We have got a guy here who eats nothing but chips and crisps...”

Washed down with some healthy Red Bull, I trust!

Almost certainly - there are Red Bull fridges dotted all around the factory to ensure everyone is kept fully topped up with energy!

Does RB in the UK have the same warning labels as here - No more than 2 cans per day.
