Faces For Charity

In a behind-the-scenes special, Sidepodcast takes a look at Red Bull Racing's Faces for Charity campaign. This initiative saw more than 30,000 F1 fans sending in personal photographs to replace the racing cars traditional livery.

With insight from Mark Webber and Christian Horner, Christine talks you through how this amazing idea, that managed to raise over $1,000,000 for the Wings for Life spinal cord research foundation, came to life. From uploading her photo to a website all the way to the cars hitting the track.

Wow, it was such a cool idea. Will they do it again this year?

at the time david's car was looking pretty full. partly i suspect because this was the one that appeared by default when the page loaded.

we had to go looking for mark's, and when we found it there were more space available on the sidepod :)

I actually was lucky and got my picture on the right front wing of DC's car, you chose your position so you know exactly where it is they treated us well as well.

they sent a PDF file which was a certificate which you could print out and there was over 10 pics of the cars on the website so you can try to find yours on the car it was great for only £10

not if he was on Mark's car!

Cool job guys, I did not know about this charity campaign until the British GP weekend, I would loved to put my picture in the front wing of a formula 1 car; next time maybe, by the way, why did you choose to do it on webber´s car?
