The world championship winning team, which is known for its quirky PR activities, trained its pit crew to pull off the so-called "pitch black pitstop" as a celebration for winning the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award for six consecutive years.
The trophy is handed out to the team that pulls off the fastest pitstops on average across the F1 season, with Red Bull beating Ferrari and McLaren in the standings this year.
After three practices using blindfolds the 22 pit crew members were then "fully plunged into darkness" in a dark factory, with their helmet visors also blacked out.
Following 10 attempts they sharpened their time from a first attempt of 8.84s down to 2.84s, which is faster than some teams achieve over a race weekend.
While the tyre change crew operated blind, its front and rear jack operators and the driver wore night vision devices provided by the military.
