Red Bull and Sauber confirm the dates for the presentation of their 2017 single-seaters

As the start of winter testing approaches quickly, the Red Bull team has announced the date on which its new car will be unveiled. This presentation will take place on Sunday, February 26, in Barcelona, on the eve of pre-season testing.

This season is highly anticipated on the Milton Keynes side due to new regulations focused mainly on aerodynamics, a strong point of the team. The return to the forefront of the great engineer Adrian Newey will be an undeniable asset for Red Bull, which intends to regain the path to regular victories and even the title.

The performance of the new Renault engine will be another key to the potential success of the Austrian firm; a power deficit would be highly detrimental, but there seems to be a certain optimism at both Red Bull and the French engine manufacturer.

In the Red Bull cockpits, we will find the same two drivers as in 2016, namely the Australian Daniel Ricciardo and the Dutchman Max Verstappen, who joined from the Spanish Grand Prix replacing Daniil Kvyat, with the success we know.

At Sauber, after announcing a physical presentation of the new car during a promotional day in Barcelona on February 22, the team finally announced that their car would be unveiled on February 20 on the internet and social media.

However, there is a sudden doubt about the participation of the newcomer to Hinwill, Pascal Wehrlein, in the initial tests. Indeed, the German, who was involved in an accident at the Race Of Champions a few weeks ago, may not have fully recovered from his neck pain. An announcement from Sauber is expected soon.
