Red Bull Racing will announce the new RB16B for the 2021 Formula 1 season on Tuesday. However, the Austrian racing team is also on the Silverstone circuit for a shakedown, and the first photos seems to be leaked. Who is behind the wheel is unclear, although it does not appear to be Max Verstappen's helmet.

Later today, reportedly at 11:00 AM, Red Bull Racing will officially announce the photos of the new car. Adrian Newey and his team had to get to work, as with a simpler diffuser and floor bite, a new way of making the designer's high-rake concept work has to be found.

The new RB16B might be dressed up in a test livery, according to the merchandise in the Red Bull shop.
