Red Bull Racing reveals RB16 presentation date

40

Red Bull Racing will uncover its new RB16 car on February 12, the Milton Keynes-based outfit completing the F1 teams' launch calendar for the 2020 season.

Red Bull announced its car's presentation on Twitter and will likely only provide studio images of its 2020 contender.

Red Bull has chosen the same launch date as Renault, its former engine supplier with whom it endured a rather acrimonious split at the end of the 2018 season before it switched its allegiance to Honda.

Like its rivals, the team's RB16 will likely represent an evolution of its predecessor given the technical regulation status quo that will be in force this year.

Red Bull's driver line-up will once again include eight-time Grand Prix winner Max Verstappen and Alex Albon who heads into his second year of Formula 1.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
