Red Bull Racing have long managed to keep the new RB19 hidden away, but they did not escape the cameras during the winter test in Bahrain. See the major differences between the RB18 and RB19 here.

At Red Bull Racing's presentation in New York, the new livery was shown, but not the new car. Fans had to wait a little longer before seeing the real RB19 for the 2023 Formula 1 season. Prior to the first day of the winter test in Bahrain, the images were finally made available.

New RB19

With Max Verstappen behind the wheel, the RB19 is shown at the Bahrain International Circuit on Thursday morning and what stands out most are the sidepods of the new bolide. The side of the RB19 is a lot more aggressive than its predecessor with many more notches. The undercut under the sidepod also extends much more to the centre of the car.

Differences are also evident on the floor. Whereas the floor of the RB18 was fairly standard in 2022, there are now many more grooves there and there are also additional elements on it again. Whether the car is also fast will only be seen at the first Grand Prix
