We have a 2018 car! After several months with a collection of parts and a long job list, today weâre making the next big stepâŠ
Daniel Ricciardo is taking the all-new Aston Martin-Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer RB14 for a spin at Silverstone as we conduct a pre-season filming day.
The RB14 is currently wearing a special edition livery. Weâre keeping our race-ready paint job under wraps for the time being and will unveil it at the Circuit de Catalunya next week. The unfamiliar shapes under the paint, however, are here to stay.
Is it just me, or am I the only one who is dissapointed with the fact that isnt the racing colours? I love the camo they do!

Good looking car. The camo is clever because it hides a lot of the subtle contours.

Yea they do it every year to hide as much as possible, I just want them to use the camo livery - I love the look, makes the car look sexy! Something new and modern
I know right! This car looks sexy! I am soooooooo excited suddenly, even the halo looks decent on this. I know we canât really look at the numbers from Barcelona testing, since they will all be hiding as much as they can. For now I just hope no major engine or other safety issues.
Whatâs encouraging is that the Renault engine seems OK with being packaged so tightly. Of course, the proof will be when they actually start running the thing in angerâŠ

Well the redbull is on track at Silverstone!
And this is the first time I really hated the Halo - you lose sight of the driver. But seriously that is one sexy car
Yeah, Halo is a complete eyesore⊠But the car does look good on track. Red Bull have certainly achieved their target of being ready early. Car looks very well developed too compared to last yearâs pretty basic launch spec.

Let me ask a stupid question that Iâm too lazy to Google, the RBR looks really good, but I see that Aston Martin is on the chassis. Is that just a sponsor, or is Aston Martin actually providing technical assistance and parts to the Red Bull team?
Not sure how far the partnership goes. Theyâve apparently provided Danny Ric with a company car thoughâŠ
There is talk of the partnership becoming more extensive as soon as Red Bull wave goodbye to Renault, which many people expect will happen at the end of this year. I donât see Aston becoming a full fledged engine constructor until 2021 when the revised rules are introduced though.

Agreed. As far as I know, Aston Martin is just a title sponsor for now. But they are doing it to get a foot in the door of F1 and I am hoping that they will be doing work on the engines for 2021. If they start now, they can at least have a good engine and development and research done.

That makes perfect sense. I think its a really good way for AM to get into F1. But we never know, they may have already started working on their own engine in the background, using the RBR as a test bed. It would be strange for AM not to provide engine support to RB once the Renault partnership has run its course. Otherwise, what other engine will RB be using?

The only other realistic option is that they will join Toro Rosso as a Honda customer. For to that happen though, Honda will need to make huge strides this yearâŠ
Either way RB seem unlikely to continue with Renault beyond this year. Merc and Ferrari are not going to agree to supply them. They may have no choice other than Honda until 2021 at least.
