The car represents an evolution of the RB18, the powerful vehicle with which Max Verstappen achieved his second drivers’ championship and fifth constructors’ cup for Red Bull. Although there are changes in its aerodynamic design that are intended to give greater efficiency to face the Mercedes and Ferrari teams more fiercely, the car will have some variations in the coming weeks.
The model will be very different from the one that can be seen in the pre-season tests in Bahrain, the first round of the 2023 season. The colors of the car are based on the classic Red Bull institutional combination in blue and red with which it has been seen since the days when they only sponsored pilots in the 1990s.
On the chassis you can see Mexican sponsors that are brands from the companies of Carlos Slim Domitsignatures that have promoted “Checo” since the dawn of his career on the slopes.
Among the novelties is that the three decorations for the Grand Prix races that will be in the United States will be decided by contest.
Red Bull announced that there will be 20 showruns in the world in which Daniel Ricciardo, test driver, will be present.
When will we see the RB19?
Red Bull Racing is looking to hold a shakedown session, at Silverstone, England, before the car is packed up for the Bahrain GP. Until now it has not been defined if both pilots will do it or only one for this filming of just a few kilometers that serves to check the correct operation of the components.
The first time that the RB19 will face its rivals officially will be in the pre-season tests in Sakhir, Bahrain, between February 23 and 25, the same circuit that on March 5 will host the first race of the 2023 season. of the Formula 1.
