Analysis: Red Bull's RB14 bodes well for championship hopes

There's been much anticipation to see the all-new 2018 Red Bull, especially as the 2017 RB13 was initially a let-down in both design and performance. But all credit to Red Bull, who soon regained the lost ground and ended last season up to speed with Ferrari and Mercedes. Revealed today in its shakedown 'special edition' livery the RB14 is clearly ahead of the curve in design and this bodes well for a competitive year.

Whereas 2017 brought huge regulation changes, 2018 has far fewer new design rules to accommodate. Once we get into the season the race-by-race updates will focus on front and bargeboard updates, over the winter the work for the teams has been to integrate the Halo, remove the shark fin and re-engineer aspects of the car's design not possible during a busy season.
