Max Verstappen's Red Bull RB21 enters the scene

In 2025, Red Bull is back on a mission. After losing the Constructors' title in 2024 to McLaren, the Austrian team will try to reproduce the Drivers-Constructors double with its star driver, the four-time reigning world champion Max Verstappen. This season, the Dutchman will be supported by a new teammate: exit Sergio Pérez, place Liam Lawson. After eleven Grands Prix with the sister team, Racing Bulls, the New Zealander will compete in his first full season in Formula 1 with the formation of Milton Keynes.

This Tuesday, on the eve of winter testing, Red Bull officially unveiled its new car, the RB21. An evolution of last year's RB20, the car Austrian is supposed to correct the defects of its predecessor, particularly in terms of balance and balance on the track, one of the major problems encountered during the 2024 season. Visually, the RB21 is not a revolution compared to the RB20. We will especially note a redesigned, more compact engine hood. Concerning the livery, however, nothing new: apart from a few new sponsors (and the absence of Sergio Pérez's previous sponsors), the livery is almost the same as in recent seasons.

The Red Bull RB21 will take to the track for the first time on Tuesday, during a shakedown organised at the Sakhir circuit, on the eve of the winter tests in Bahrain. Max Verstappen will have the honour of opening the show with the RB21 on Wednesday morning, before handing over the wheel to Liam Lawson in the afternoon. The Dutchman will drive all day on Thursday, with the young rookie taking over for the final day of testing on Friday.
