The unveiling of the RB18 of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez is over. This has not escaped Mercedes attention either, as the German racing team have also tuned in to Red Bull Racing's online presentation.

On their own Twitter account, Mercedes reacted to the launch of the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB18 for 2022. However, Toto Wolff's team came away a little disappointed, as there wasn't much to see of the RB18. Red Bull posted four photos online of the new car, but the real details are not visible.
