Red Bull announces a 2022 RB18 F1 car launch date
Feb
Red Bull has set a February 9 launch date for their 2022 car, making it the first Formula One team to do so.
In a teaser video posted on social media on Thursday morning, the Milton Keynes-based team became the seventh team to confirm the date for the unveiling of its 2022 car.
Red Bull appears to be the first team to display its 2022 challenger, surpassing Aston Martin by a day, with only Williams and Haas left to announce their car launch plans.
Fans will be at the center of Red Bull’s digital introduction of their 2022 challenger, which will be a “multi-channel fan first experience,” according to the company.
When Red Bull launches its RB18 vehicle on Wednesday, February 9, up to 5,000 fans will “curate and present the tale of the 2022 season start on their own social channels” alongside drivers Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and team principal Christian Horner.
Red Bull will use “innovative technology to bring you closer to our car launch than ever before” to allow fans to host the 2022 season debut on their social media channels via the team’s digital loyalty platform, The Paddock.
AlphaTauri, Ferrari, and Mercedes will debut their cars on February 14, 17, and 18, respectively, two days after McLaren.
Alpine will reveal its A522 two days before the start of the first pre-season test at the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya in Spain on February 21.
Alfa Romeo will publicly introduce its C42 and 2022 liveries on February 27 after running a one-off interim livery at the opening pre-season test in Barcelona.
Red Bull will be hoping that the RB18 can help Max Verstappen defend his drivers’ world title and challenge for the team’s first constructors’ title since 2013.
In the forthcoming 2022 season, Verstappen will be joined by Sergio Perez, a two-time grand prix champion.
The uniforms of F1 racing drivers are currently available at the following websites for a reasonable price:
