Red Bull to launch RB19 in New York on February 3rd | 2023 F1 season

Red Bull have announced their car for the 2023 Formula 1 season, the RB19, will be unveiled to the world in New York on February 3rd. Red Bull will be the first of the energy drink’s two teams to launch in the American city, with junior team AlphaTauri also launching in New York on February 11th. The team announced it will be unveiling a “new car” on the date, as opposed to last year when the team originally revealed its 2022 livery on a showcar before the actual RB18 was first seen publicly during a filming run. The successor to the double title-winning RB18 car from 2022 will be Red Bull’s 19th chassis since joining F1 in 2005 and will make its race debut in the Bahrain Grand Prix on 5th March. The RB19 will be powered by a ‘Honda RBPT’ engine, with the branding reflecting former engine supplier Honda’s continued support of Red Bull’s new in-house powertrain division. It will be the second season of such an arrangement, with last year’s car using a Red Bull RBPTH001 power unit but with Honda’s logos still present on the car throughout the season. The 2023 season is also the second year of F1’s current cycle of technical regulations. Driving the RB19 will be reigning world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, entering their third year as Red Bull team mates, and reserve driver duties will be shared between Daniel Ricciardo, who has joined from McLaren, Super Formula-bound Red Bull junior Liam Lawson and Formula 2 racer Zane Maloney. Red Bull’s chief technical officer Adrian Newey has led the design of the new car, and it supported by a team of people including chief designer Craig Skinner and technical director Pierre Wache. With a record-length 23-event season facing teams this year, Perez and Verstappen have the opportunity with the RB19 to surpass the record-breaking statistics achieved with its predecessor. Red Bull won 17 grands prix in 2022, with the record for wins in a season held by Mercedes with 19, and went on a winning spree of nine races in a row (with McLaren’s long-standing record being 11 consecutive wins). By making the podium in the first 19 grands prix of 2023, Red Bull would surpass their personal best podium run, and 28 podium trophies in a year is another 2022 benchmark they will be aiming to beat.

First pictures: Red Bull RB19 finally uncovered in Bahrain | 2023 F1 season

Red Bull’s RB19, the car the team seeks to defend its two world championship titles from 2022 with, made its track debut this morning as Formula 1 pre-season testing began. Not seen in public until it emerged from Red Bull’s garage at Bahrain International Circuit, it is among the last two of this year’s F1 cars to be seen as the rest of the teams revealed their 2023 designs either during launches or shakedown tests. Red Bull brought the RB18 to their season launch in New York on 3rd February to show off the RB19’s livery for the upcoming season. They later conducted a shakedown test at Silverstone, but it was held in secrecy with no images of the RB19 released. The car is being driven solely by Max Verstappen today. The reigning world champion will share driving duties with his team mate Sergio Perez tomorrow. The car is visibly an evolution of the car which won 17 of the 22 grands prix last year. The undercut beneath its sidepods, already one of the most impressive on the grid last year, is even more pronounced, indicating the team has worked hard to package its cooling systems and electronics within its tightly-contoured sidepods. The RB19 is the 17th of Red Bull’s cars to be overseen by chief technical officer Adrian Newey, and the second since the team set up its own powertrain division. However its power unit is labelled a ‘Honda RBPT’ this year, having simply been called a Red Bull engine in 2022.
