It's not long until the Formula 1 season finally gets underway in 2023, with pre-season testing around the corner at the end of February. Prior to this a number of teams will be conducting launches with glittering events, with Red Bull electing to show off their RB19, or at least their livery, on February 3rd 2022. Here is everything you need to know about the event.
What time does the Red Bull launch start?
The Red Bull launch starts on Friday 3rd February 2023 at 14:30 GMT. This will be 09:30 EST.
Why is Red Bull launching in New York?
There is a lot of reasons why the team has elected to launch in New York. The first is Red Bull having a lot more American sponsors, and the US market has become one of the key areas of growth for Formula 1. An example would be American data company Oracle, who are the title sponsors of the team since last year. They can essentially have representatives on the ground, rather than fly multiple people out to the UK. The reveal also coincides with a potential announcement from another American company that will be partnering with the team from 2026.
What can I expect from the Red Bull launch?
It is unlikely that the actual RB19 chassis will be launched in New York, as it will likely not be ready until pre-season testing in three weeks' time, and shipping it out to the US state would be a logistical challenge. However the team has hinted at a new livery being revealed, which would be a departure from their usual colours. Both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will be present at the launch giving their first reactions ahead of the new season. Be sure to look out on RacingNews365.com for those. There is a good chance Red Bull might make another announcement regarding an American company. We'll know more on Friday afternoon!
