Red Bull confirm early date for launch of Verstappen's title-defending car

Red Bull has announced the earliest launch date of any F1 team so far with the RB18 set to be revealed on February 9.

Red Bull is the eighth team to confirm its plans to lift the covers off its all-new 2022 machinery, with only Haas and Williams yet to lock in a date.

The launch will take place a day earlier than that of Aston Martin, the Silverstone-based team previously slated to be the team to begin the string of ceremonies.

In last year's RB16B, Max Verstappen secured his first drivers' title, with Red Bull falling short of Mercedes in the constructors' battle although enjoying by far its strongest season of the hybrid era.

The countdown begins ⏱ #RB18 coming 🔜
