VIDEO | First day of Verstappen and Perez in the RB16B of Red Bull Racing
Red Bull Racing had a long test day at Silverstone yesterday with Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Alexander Albon. The RB15 was used for a brief run-in, but Perez and Verstappen also sat in the new RB16B for a while.
Test day for Verstappen
The new RB16B was presented by Red Bull Racing on Tuesday, but you had to use a magnifying glass to spot the differences compared to last year. The biggest changes will not be seen until the winter test or the first race, so the competition cannot take over early.
For Red Bull, however, it was important to test the new car for a few laps. This happened on Wednesday at Silverstone, where Perez and Verstappen were allowed to drive the RB16B in the afternoon, after they had been able to run in the RB15 in the morning. Alexander Albon was also allowed to test, but only in the RB15.
