Red Bull Racing RB18
Red Bull's first car for the 2022 ground-effect rules, which won 17 of 22 races and both world titles.
About the Red Bull Racing RB18
The RB18 was Red Bull Racing's first design for the 2022 ground-effect regulations, developed under Adrian Newey and Pierre Waché and powered by the Honda-built Red Bull RBPTH001. Its season began badly, with both cars hit by fuel system problems in Bahrain, but weight-saving upgrades followed at Imola and in Spain. Against the Ferrari F1-75 it was generally stronger on the straights, and it won 17 of 22 races, including Sergio Pérez's victory in Monaco. Max Verstappen took his second consecutive drivers' title and Red Bull its fifth Constructors' Championship, the team's first since 2013.
