Sergio Perez takes control of his Red Bull at Silvertsone
Red Bull Racing's latest model, the RB16B, was unveiled today. At the same time, Sergio Perez was entrusted with another RBR on the Silverstone circuit as part of a preparatory test drive.
Getting familiar with the Honda engine.
Today, the Mexican driver did not have to be asked twice to carry out this test, even if it is behind the wheel of the 2019 RB15. He did this test in order to get familiar with his new team. The procedures are new for the one who spent seven seasons with the Force India / Racing Point team. He also had to get used to the different operation of the Honda engine.
Since 2007 and Mark Webber’s arrival at Red Bull, Sergio Perez is the second driver who is not from the Red Bull junior team to defend the brand’s colors.
