THIS IS ADRIAN NEWEY UNLEASHED. The result of not having to follow those pesky FIA rules and regulations. The learnings from the mistakes made with the Aston Martin Valkyrie...
The RB17 is twenty years of Red Bull condensed into a single car, one that, according to the company's simulations, would have beaten George Russell's pole position time at the 2024 British Grand Prix (although presumably with a current F1 driver at the wheel and no one in the passenger seat). The track-only hypercar is also proof that Milton Keynes' answer to Ferrari can build more than world championship-winning single-seaters.
It is a project that started on Newey's drawing board in December 2020, although it wasn't until January 2024 that the concept stage was completed. 'The Valkyrie was a very compressed timeframe from when we had to have the first concept drawings to when we had to release detailed drawings,' explains Newey, the outgoing chief technical officer of Red Bull. 'In hindsight it was a bit too compressed.'
