The Milton Keynes squad released initial images of the RB22 on the opening day of running, having previously only shown its 2026 livery on a showcar during a joint launch with Racing Bulls earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The RB22 is scheduled to run for the first time at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as part of the five-day test, with teams limited to a maximum of three days on track.<\/p>\n

As is customary during launch season, the images offer limited insight into the car\u2019s finer technical details.<\/p>\n

However, the Barcelona outing marks a significant milestone for Red Bull, with the RB22 debuting the team\u2019s first in-house power unit, the Red Bull Ford Powertrains DM01.<\/p>\n

Red Bull is among the teams opting to run from the opening day of the test, in contrast to some rivals who will delay their initial running.<\/p>\n

Max Verstappen and new teammate Isack Hadjar will share driving duties during the shakedown.<\/p>\n

The season ahead will be Verstappen\u2019s 11th with the team as he targets a fifth world championship, while Hadjar steps up following his rookie campaign in 2025 with Racing Bulls.<\/p>\n
