According to RacingNews365.com, Red Bull has no concerns about their new RB18 chassis failing FIA crash tests.
Red Bull’s 2022 Formula One car has been the subject of recent rumors, with a report in Italian media claiming that the RB18 failed the FIA’s frontal crash tests for the new regulations.
Such a failure, at this time, would need some hasty re-design work and, as a result, a delay in future growth as the squad prepares for the 2022 season.
It would not be the first time an Adrian Newey-penned car has failed FIA tests, with Newey’s 2003 McLaren MP4-18 never actually competing in a Grand Prix after being problematic from the start.
The rumours appear to revolve around Red Bull’s unwillingness to announce a launch date for the RB18, despite the fact that the majority of teams — notably Red Bull sibling club AlphaTauri – have already done so.
Red Bull have no concerns over their new RB18
After entering the vehicle build phase of its development last week, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner recently stated that the RB18 is hitting “the majority” of its goals.
A Red Bull source told RacingNews365.com that there are no fears about the RB18 failing a crash test.
According to the same source that spoke to RacingNews365.com, the planned reveal date for the 2022 Red Bull is linked to the timeline of a sponsorship activation rather than any car issues.
