Why 2022 F1 car launches will disappoint the fans
New car launches usually build up plenty of hype for the new season but Chris Medland argues F1 has drained much of the usual intrigue
Anticipation is building for the 2022 Formula 1 season, with Red Bull unveiling its new car – the RB18 – this afternoon.
It will be the second team, after Haas, to show off its ’22 challenger, with a new radical set of regulations means teams and fans alike will be clamouring to see what reigning world champion Max Verstappen will be driving this season.
The 2021 car took the Dutchman to his first drivers’ title. The team will be hoping this year’s effort delivers that again and its fifth constructors’ crown too.
The launch starts at 3:45pm GMT, with the car unveiling at 4pm. You can watch the livestream at the top of this page. For everyone else around the world, the launch times are:
