F1 2020 Car Launch – Red Bull launch the RB16

Red Bull have launched their 2020 car, but without a special launch livery this year. The special ‘Camobull’ livery has appeared on the car for the lauchn for the past few seasons, with fans always looking forward to what weird and wonderful desing to the Energy Drink company can come up with.

Much like the other cars that we have seen launched so far, the car is still under development and it is unlikely that this car will be the one that will appear at the first test in Barcelona, never mind Australia.

One of the most notable changes however is the narrower front nose cone, making the front of the car look a tad more slim lined. This nose cone is also more rounded that the previous cars, which helps with grid in low-speed corners.

The side pods and engine covers are once again slim lined and are as compact as possible, but they do not appear to be as tight as previous iterations, potentially aiding cooling.

The car was taken for a shakedown at Silverstone, the first car to do so this season. The car is still under development, but the team always progresses well and the car provides them with a base to develop.
