Red Bull did its best not to give too many of its 2020 car's secrets away by releasing a single studio shot of the RB16. Even so, there's plenty to glean from that image about how it intends to become a proper F1 title contender once more

In stark contrast to Tuesday's Ferrari launch, which was a particularly lively and bombastic affair, Red Bull unceremoniously dropped its 2020 Formula 1 car, the RB16, with no real fanfare at all.

The no-fuss nature of an online launch with a shakedown later in the day has become de rigueur in modern F1, and perhaps underlines Red Bull's willingness to partake in the formalities before getting on with the serious work at hand. Having turned around its form in 2019 after starting the season with a somewhat tricky car to manage, Red Bull has the platform to make a more concerted push for silverware this year.

Jake studied engineering at university, as his original ambition was to design racing cars. He was bad at that, and thus decided to write about them instead with an equally limited skillset. The above article is a demonstration of that. In his spare time, Jake enjoys people, places, and things.
