Red Bull launch live on Sky Sports: F1 world champions to reveal 2023 car and major new alliance

Watch Red Bull’s launch live on Sky Sports today; Show live on Sky Sports F1, the Sky Sports app and website, and Sky Sports F1 YouTube channel from 2pm; Red Bull revealing 2023 car as well as major new alliance

Red Bull will today reveal both their car to defend both Formula 1 world championships and a major new motorsport alliance… and you can watch the whole launch live on Sky Sports.

Aiming to follow up Max Verstappen’s record-breaking drivers’ crown and their first constructors’ title in nine years, Red Bull are taking to New York City to kick off their 2023 campaign – an apt location on a significant day.

Red Bull will be the first team to showcase their new-for-2023 car – the RB19’s unveiling coming after Haas’ livery launch earlier this week – and drivers Verstappen and Sergio Perez will be there to preview the year.

This car is Red Bull’s present, but the Milton Keynes-based team also have an announcement that will help shape their F1 future.

As Formula One returns to Abu Dhabi, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen recalled perhaps the most dramatic finish to a season ever last year as he overtook Lewis Hamilton on the final lap to win a maiden world title.

A major alliance is set to come in to play from the 2026 season.

The launch is live on Sky Sports F1 as well as our digital and social platforms from 2pm today.

Following up his controversial 2021 crown, Verstappen – very much in his prime – became a double F1 world champion last year after winning an astonishing 15 of the 22 races.
