The Red Bull team presented its new single-seater for the 2022 Formula 1 season, the RB18 , a car with which they will try to climb to the top of the podium in all races.
After clinching the world title with Max Verstappen at the last round of 2021, the Austrians celebrated their crowning success at the Grand Circus. Part of that feat was due to Sergio Pérez’s defense of Lewis Hamilton, which served to help the Dutch driver get closer to the Brit in Abu Dhabi.

Everyone on the grid is starting from scratch this year, so it’s going to be a very interesting campaign.”
“Last season we gave everything until the last lap, and we are ready to do the same in 2022,” explained Checo after seeing the appearance of his new car.
“The new rules are made to improve the competition on the track, so I hope that the drivers can fight more, run better and follow the cars closely,” said the driver from Guadalajara. “There will be a lot of things that we need to learn and adapt to, but with this new regulation it will be very exciting.”
In the 2022 season, something very important for the drivers will return, and Pérez knows that it will be vital: “Something I can’t wait for this season is to see the fans return to the circuits, Formula 1 is growing a lot all over the world. world, so I can’t wait to feel that atmosphere again.”
“I hope we can give the fans great entertainment and good competition,” said the Mexican.
His team boss, Christian Horner , also commented on what he expected from the team in 2022: “We think we have a good car for 2022, the RB18 has come to life and to see it today is fantastic. We plan to build it in 2021, we have a number 1 in the car this year, and now the challenge is to keep him defending Max’s title.”
“With the new rules this season, the whole philosophy of the car has changed, which means that each component is different from last season, it has been like a blank piece of paper for all the teams,” settled the Red Bull manager. .
