Red Bull change car launch philosophy for 2018

Red Bull tweak their plans so that they are ready to start winning straight away in 2018.

Red Bull have tweaked their plans so that they are ready to start winning straight away in 2018.

Dr Helmut Marko said that although the energy drink-owned team finished this season strongly, Red Bull need to ensure that they are ready to take on Mercedes and Ferrari from the very first race next year.

"We noticed the trend that we earn more points in the second half of the season," he told Servus TV.

"For many years the philosophy of Adrian Newey was to present the car as late as possible, but for next year we have changed the approach.

"Now we are ahead of schedule by two weeks compared to last year.

"It if the engine is reliable, we will be able to fight in the leading group already from the first race of the season."

The first race of 2018 takes place on March 25 in Melbourne.
