Why Red Bull's 'evolutionary' RB19 does not disappoint
As Formula 1 pre-season testing kicked off on Thursday in Bahrain, Red Bull unveiled what's been labelled as a 'soft evolution' with its 2023 challenger, the RB19. But it's the car's finer details that really make it stand out
Red Bull had notably failed to show off its latest Formula 1 challenger at its glitzy launch in New York a few weeks ago. Instead, despite hyping up the unveiling of its RB19, the team actually just showed off a version of last year's title-winning RB18 with a 2023 livery.
This wasn't really much of a surprise as the team has a history on this front. Few can forget it trying to pass off a FOM show car as its RB18 at last year's launch. Having kept its new 2023 design secret up until the start of testing, there was a great deal of intrigue about exactly what Red Bull would unveil when it finally had to run the car in public.
