How many headshots does it take to unlock this skin?

The RB14 is currently wearing a special edition livery. We're keeping our race-ready paint job under wraps for the time being and will unveil it at the Circuit de Catalunya next week. The unfamiliar shapes under the paint, however, are here to stay.

new front wing philosophy, changing the tip of the front wing flaps from upwards sloping to now downwards sloping, similar to what most other teams used last season. This seems like a small change but it will be hugely influential on the airflow towards the rest of the car Red Bull have kept their unique nose duct moved s-duct outlet further down on the nose kept their blown axles turning vanes are exactly the same (but can change of course for testing, teams don't show everything with their car reveal) main barge boards have changed very little sidepod deflectors have changed a lot, going towards the Mercedes design from last year instead of the Ferrari design that they copied during last season airbox inlet is larger than last year, but not as large as the ones from Haas and Williams incredibly small sidepods, similar to last year. Edit: after further inspection I have to say that Red Bull have changed the sidepods more than I initially saw. They haven't moved the sidepod inlet backwards like Ferrari did last year by putting a fairing in front of it. However, Red Bull have moved the sidepod inlet higher upwards and changed the shape of the inlet and the sidepod itself, to create a bigger undercut in order to get more air towards the rear of the car interesting (though simple) wing on top of the sidepods I don't see any changes to the floor no monkey seat, also no lower down t-wing, which Haas and Williams did opt for

Edit: new photos of the front suspension reveal that Red Bull have made big changes to the front suspension, with the upper wishbones now being bended, very unusual and interesting
