Presentation of the new RB18 to be followed live on Red Bull channels

Red Bull Racing announced the date of the RB18 presentation via a Tweet on Thursday morning. The team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez has now provided more clarity on the format of the presentation in a press release.

On February 9, 2022, Red Bull Racing will present the new car for the 2022 Formula One season. In the season in which the reigning world champion, Max Verstappen, will drive with start number #1, Red Bull must fulfil a big promise. After a title battle in 2021, the team hopes to be back in the front row with the new regulations.

Red Bull's press release makes it clear that "the fans are central" to the presentation of the new car. The presentation will be broadcast live on the team's social channels, with Christian Horner, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez also present.

''Via The Paddock, Red Bull Racing’s digital loyalty platform, fans were given the opportunity to host the 2022 season launch on their social channels, to deliver a multi-channel fan-first experience. Red Bull Racing have always been at the cutting edge of technological innovation on track, now the team are bringing the same ethos to their marketing approach away from the circuit, as we become the first Formula One Team to launch a car in this new generation'', the press release reads.
