Red Bull has confirmed it will launch its 2020 Formula 1 car on February 12. The Milton Keynes squad’s announcement completes the set of 2020 car launches after it became the 10th and final team to confirm its plans ahead of the upcoming campaign. Red Bull is set to unveil its Honda-powered RB16 challenger in a digital presentation next Wednesday (February 12), on the same day as Renault.
It is understood the RB16 is also scheduled for on-track duties for the first time on Wednesday for a shakedown event at Silverstone, a week before pre-season testing begins at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain.
Ferrari is the team that will head of the 2020 car launch week, with the Italian squad to be the first F1 team to reveal its new challenger and livery at Maranello on February 11 ahead of the 2020 season.
Red Bull has high hopes that its RB16 challenger can bring the team into title contention for 2020. It is the team’s second year being powered by Japanese engine manufacturer Honda, with whom they have been making impressive gains on rivals Mercedes and Ferrari in the second half of 2019.
Max Verstappen claimed three victories for Red Bull across the 2019 season (Austria, Germany & Brazil) on his way to finishing third in the drivers’ championship, while Alexander Albon is set to contest his first full-campaign with the team after his mid-season promotion from Toro Rosso.
