Red Bull Racing have launched their 2019 car with a whole new livery of just dark blue and red! However, this livery is being used for just a one-off occasion and won't be used throughout the season, much like the livery used in the 2015 testing as a camouflage livery.
Silverstone held the unveiling of the 2019 challenger and also hosted the first few laps taken by the Honda powered car. This coming after the split from Renault engines last season, a partnership which saw Red Bull winning all four Drivers and Constructors Championships. Can Honda do the same?
Honda although not new to the sport, have been missing for a significant amount of time and have only recently got back in the game... But have they got back in to the groove? Honda previously managed to secure six World Championships with McLaren and Williams, however, the last one being in 1991. Can the Japanese manufacturers change this?
Red Bull start the new season with a new engine as well as a new driver in the form of Frenchman, Pierre Gasly, who was promoted from Toro Rosso after the departure of Daniel Ricciardo to Renault. Pierre will race alongside Max Verstappen who drove the car around Silverstone today. Max denied setting any goals for the future until the first race in Melbourne, "I guess up until Australia you can't really set goals. It's a bit blind. In F1 it's related to the package you get." So will Honda and Red Bull have the package to secure the Austrian team as a genuine championship contender for 2019?
