1. Car without mastermind Newey: This is the new Red Bull

On Tuesday, Red Bull Racing presented its new RB21 car for the upcoming Formula 1 season. One day before the start of the official winter tests in Bahrain, the racing team presented the first car that was not developed under the direction of long-time technical director Adrian Newey.

Pierre Waché took over responsibility for production and design in the course of 2024. The first studio recordings, which Red Bull released on Tuesday, hardly reveal any details.

Although the car can be seen, important aero components were obscured by dark lighting and shiny effects. This means that the photos are not very informative. Nevertheless, the RB21 will take to the track for the first time on Tuesday. A promotional filming day is planned with the two drivers Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson (who will replace Sergio Perez in 2025) at the Bahrain International Circuit.

Newey moved to Aston Martin

The previous technical director Newey was responsible for many victories of various racing teams as a "design guru" of Formula 1. Since the 1990s, his vehicles have won twelve constructors' world championship titles and 13 drivers' titles. These include Sebastian Vettel's four titles and Max Verstappen's most recent four overall victories at Red Bull. Newey will be responsible for design at Aston Martin from March 2025.
