The RB21 will be Red Bull’s first-ever F1 car designed without the input of Adrian Newey.
Red Bull has decided not to hold an official launch for its 2025 F1 car, the RB21. Instead of unveiling it at the F1 75 London launch on February 18th, it is expected to be a livery launch on an old or show car. Teams are not likely to showcase their final designs at the London event due to its proximity to pre-season testing in Bahrain. Unlike in 2024, Red Bull will not have a special launch event this year and the car will first be seen at the pre-season testing in Sakhir. Before heading to Bahrain, Red Bull plans to do a shakedown at Silverstone to ensure the RB21, driven by Max Verstappen and new teammate Liam Lawson, is ready. Williams and Ferrari have also announced their official launch dates, with Williams scheduled for February 14th and Ferrari, including new signing Lewis Hamilton, on February 19th.
