What a week that was! Not only did we launch the RB16B, but we also welcomed Max back to the cockpit and got to see drive Red Bull machinery for the first time. It’s safe to say blue suits him so much more than pink!
And with everything going on, it wouldn’t be surprising if you missed some of the videos, stories or galleries we shared. So, here are our five top things from last week’s car launch…
1.YouLittleTease
At the start of the week we shared a short video of the RB16B, however we only gave you a little sample of what the car looked like. But if it didn’t make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, then you can't be a Red Bull Racing fan, because it certainly made us ready to charge on!
2.ThatNewCarSmell
Last Wednesday Max and Checo got their first taste of their 2021 car at a blustery Silverstone. Alex was also on hand to drive the RB15 and share notes with the duo on the RB16B. But what did the Bulls think of their new car... Read on!
3.Checo’sFirstChargeAsABull
Before Checo was let loose in the RB16B he spent Monday and Tuesday getting comfortable in 2019’s RB15. This was to allow him to get used to the controls and set his seat and pedal position to his liking – it’s a great insight into how a driver has to get settled into the car of his new team.
4.ThroughTheLens:Checo’sFirstDrive
For Checo’s debut drive we had photographer Vladimir Rys on hand to capture the memorable occasion. In this gallery of Sergio’s first drive as a Bull he captures the emotion, the speed and the process in his own unique fashion.

5.LaunchingCheco’sLid
The RB16B wasn’t the only thing on show for the first time last week. We also got our first look at Checo’s new race helmet for 2021. And we think you’ll agree that it is a pure work of art.
