Andrew is CNET's go-to guy for product coverage and lead photographer for Europe. When not testing the latest phones, he can normally be found with his camera in hand, behind his drums or eating his stash of home-cooked food. Sometimes all at once.

Then again, it should be, considering this is a joint production between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing.

It'll probably get around a track in relatively little time, too.
