The Red Bull RB13 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing to compete during the 2017 FIA Formula One World Championship. The car was driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.[3] It made its competitive debut at the 2017 Australian Grand Prix.

It is the first British-based foreign[how?][where?] F1 car to utilize ExxonMobil fuel and lubricants since 2013, along with Toro Rosso STR12 based in Faenza and the first Red Bull F1 car featured with a shark fin since the championship-winning RB6 in 2010.
