Max Verstappen has driven Red Bull’s 2020 Formula 1 car for the first time i🐻n a shakedown event at Silverstonℱe. 

A matter of hour💖s after Red Bullꦏ became the third team to offer a first glimpse of its RB16 challenger in a digital reveal on Wednesday morning, Verstappen got behind the wheel of the team’s latest car for its on-track debut. 

The Du💖tchman turned in his first laps in the RB16 around the home of the British Grand Prix, adhering to the mileage permitted during shakedown events, which are used as an initial systems check for new cars and for filming purposes. 

Unlike in previous ye🗹ar’s, Red Bull’s launch car does not feature a ‘camo’ livery and was presented in its traditional colours. 

The RB16 retai♎ns prominent Aston Martin branding in what will be the British luxury manufacturer’s final year as Red Bull’s title sponsor before its 2021 works collaboration begins with Racing Point. 

Verstappen’s 2020 teammate, Alex🐷ander Albon, will make his ꦓdebut behind the wheel of the RB16 during pre-season testing at Barcelona. 

The opening three-day pre-season test begins at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on February 19-21, before the second 🀅winter test takes place at the Spanish Grand Prix venue between February 26-28.
