Red Bull Racing presented the new RB16B on Tuesday, but there was not much new to see. Will Buxton and Lawrence Barretto wonder if this is good or bad news for the competition?

On Tuesday the presentation of Red Bull Racing's new RB16B was scheduled. However, the team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez showed only a short video and two studio shots. Those pictures showed little change compared to the RB16, but the question is whether this is already Red Bull's latest design?

Red Bull a danger?

''We always have to wait with Red Bull until the test and the first race, because they usually wait until the last minute to put parts on. You can see smaller changes all over the car, but that style of livery also makes it easy for them to hold things back in these kind of shots," Barretto said in a Formula1.com video.

Still, there was something to be noticed about the bargeboards area. Buxton noticed this and the detail is a warning for the competition according to Barretto. ''The fact that Red Bull is already showing so much of the bargeboards is a warning to the competition because it means they have a lot of confidence in what else they have in store'', the Formula One journalist concludes.
