A crucial period is in store for Red Bull, Racing Bulls and the teams’ new Powertrains department.
“For Red Bull, Racing Bulls, and the new Powertrains department, the next 24 hours will be filled with tension as they gear up for the start of the new season.
Last Friday, both Red Bull and Racing Bulls revealed their car liveries at Ford’s home in Detroit, but the RB22 and VCARB03 have yet to hit the track until today.
Today marks a significant moment as the first Red Bull Powertrains’ power unit will be tested in one of the cars following the team’s decision to produce their own engines.
Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will conduct a 15-kilometer demo run at Imola in the VCARB 03 to ensure all systems are working correctly.
On Wednesday, the duo will have a more extensive shakedown at Imola, covering up to 200 kilometers in a filming day.
The VCARB 03 will be put through its paces again next week during a five-day pre-season test in Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya involving both teams.”
