Following Red Bull's car reveal, Adrian Newey has given an explanation to what we have seen of the RB18. Red Bull Racing's top designer, responsible for building the 2022 car explains the implications of the rule changes introduced in Formula 1 this year.

Newey talks about what impact the new regulations will have on the aerodynamics of the 2022 Formula One cars. The new generation car should be less affected by dirty air starting next season, making it easier to follow and increasing the chances of overtaking.

What is further highlighted in the video is the larger wheelbase. The tyres are bigger and this also affects aerodynamics. Max Verstappen also mentioned that the new tyres will be a challenge, especially in terms of visibility.
