The brand-new RB16, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing's challenger for the 2020 season, was presented earlier today. While it does seem very similar to last year's RB15, there are some key differences, as we pointed out in our analysis earlier today.

Take a look at the changes in detail

To make it visually more clear, here is a slider where you can compare the RB15 directly to the RB16. The main differences are the new front wing and the extra winglets to improve aerodynamics and downforce
