Max Verstappen was the first of the Red Bull Racing drivers to test the RB20, the Formula 1 car the Austrians are racing this season, on a wet track at Silverstone on Tuesday morning. Later in the day, his teammate Sergio Perez also took to the track in England.

Red Bull Racing themselves did not release any images or photos of the shakedown, in which a maximum of two hundred kilometres could be driven. Through social media, however, images leaked out during the day, each showing Verstappen. This revealed that the triple world champion was driving the RB20, while next to him the RB01 was also on the track. Reportedly, David Coulthard was the driver of that car.

Meanwhile, pictures of Perez in the RB20 have also come out. These clearly show the reigning world champion's new car. Next Thursday will see the official presentation of the brand-new car. GPblog will be present at the presentation and will report extensively.
