When Red Bull launched a show car earlier this month, then didn’t release anything from its shakedown, it was clear that Adrian Newey’s latest creation was being kept as secret as possible, for as long as possible.
As soon as the car appeared, it became very clear why Red Bull wanted to keep it under wraps. The sidepod design, with the most aggressive undercut we’ve seen that effectively makes the floor and the sidepods completely separate before they come together further down the car, is just one of the many bold design characteristics of the RB18. It even has what The Race’s technical expert Gary Anderson likens to a double diffuser.
Of course, being unconventional and aggressive doesn’t always mean you are the fastest. But given Red Bull and Newey’s track record, this car looks set to make a big impact for all the right reasons.
