About the Red Bull Racing RB15
The RB15 was designed under Adrian Newey and technical director Pierre Waché as Red Bull Racing's first Honda-powered car, with the rear end completely redesigned around the RA619H power unit. Max Verstappen took third on its debut in Australia, Honda's first podium since 2008, and then won the Austrian Grand Prix after a poor start to give Honda its first victory since 2006. He added wins in a wet German Grand Prix and in Brazil, and in Hungary took the first pole position of his career. Alexander Albon replaced Pierre Gasly from the Belgian Grand Prix, and the car finished the year with three wins and nine podiums.
