About the Red Bull Racing RB13
Red Bull Racing's RB13 was designed under Adrian Newey for the new 2017 rules and powered by a Renault R.E.17 badged as a TAG Heuer. Pre-season testing showed it well behind Ferrari and Mercedes on pace and reliability, and the team followed a low-drag philosophy before adding a host of new parts during the European season. Daniel Ricciardo finished third in three consecutive races, then won a chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix from tenth on the grid despite falling to 17th after a stop to clear debris from a radiator. With Ricciardo and Max Verstappen the car went on to take three wins and 13 podiums, though it never started from pole.
