Red Bull celebrates Mateschitz's life with a minute's applause

On the day after Dietrich Mateschitz's death, there will be no mourning bands in Red Bull Racing's garage. Instead, music by The Rolling Stones is blaring from the speakers: the Red Bull boss's is being celebrated, and in this way Formula 1 will also pay tribute to him.

Red Bull celebrates Mateschitz's life

As Mateschitz would have wanted, his life is celebrated rather than his death being mourned. This will also be the case when F1 pays tribute to Mateschitz: instead of a minute of silence, there will be a minute of applause. This can be seen in an FIA document, which mentions the moment.

"The music doesn't just play to celebrate his life, the music is always playing. The point being that he would not have wanted anything to be done differently after his passing," Coulthard said in a Viaplay broadcast. Whether Red Bull wins or loses today, Mateschitz's life and what he has made of Red Bull Racing will be celebrated.
