Sakhir (Bahrain): Red Bull revealed its latest updates on the final morning of the Bahrain Formula 1 test, with tweaks made to the sidepod design of its RB18.
But it’s a refinement of an already visually disarming solution when compared with last year’s design.
The Milton-Keynes based squad was expected to show off upgrades on Saturday, after Mercedes shocked the paddock with its vertical sidepod inlets on Thursday.
Mercedes’ design caused a stir, however Red Bull has asserted that it is happy that the car is operating within the technical regulations.
On Saturday, Red Bull revealed upgrades of its own in the form of new sculpted sidepods on the RB18 that feature a less aggressive undercut and larger air intakes, similar to the design produced by Ferrari.
