Red Bull has revealed the RB16, its new car for the 2020 F1 season.

Max Verstappen drove the car for the first time today at Silverstone . Team mate Alexander Albon will have his first run at a later filming day.

Verstappen said his first run in the car was “Very positive.”

“The important thing today is getting the car running so that everything is up to speed before we get to Barcelona,” he added.

“It’s been a while since I was in a Formula 1 car and I was really looking forward to this morning. Once you fire up, you’re straight back into it, but before then, there’s always a sense of anticipation about what the new car and engine will feel like. Today everything went smoothly and I’m looking forward to testing next week.

“The target for the whole team is of course to be in a position to fight for the championship and improve on last year. The team is very motivated and everyone worked very hard over the winter and I think we are in a good way. I can’t wait to get started and hopefully we can be competitive from the start and then I think it can be a really interesting and fun year.”
