Red Bull is the latest team to announce the launch of their 2021 challenger.

The RB16B will be unveiled on February 23 by the Milton Keynes team, via a digital event.

This year’s driver lineup will see Max Verstappen race alongside ex-Racing Point driver, Sergio Perez, who was drafted into the team to replace Alex Albon for the 2021 season.

The car will feature a new Honda power unit for one last time this year, as Red Bull Red Bull take over the running of the engines from 2022 onwards, upon Honda’s exit from Formula One.

Speaking earlier this week about the impending plans for an in-house power unit division, Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing Team Principal, said:

“This agreement represents a significant step for Red Bull in its Formula One journey.

“We were understandably disappointed when Honda made the decision to leave the sport as an engine manufacturer, as our relationship yielded immediate success, but we are grateful for their support in facilitating this new agreement.

“Honda has invested significantly in hybrid technology to ensure the supply of competitive power units to both teams. We now begin the work of bringing the power unit division in-house and integrating the new facilities and personnel into our Technology Campus.

“In the meantime, we are fully focused on achieving the best possible results in what will be Honda’s final season as an official power unit supplier.”

Red Bull’s sister team, AlphaTauri launched its 2021 contender, the AT02, which will be driven by Pierre Gasly, alongside newbie, Yuki Tsunoda.

Haas are now the only team yet to announce when they will launch their new car.
