The Red Bull RB14 was a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing to compete during the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship. The car was driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen,[6] and made its competitive début at the 2018 Australian Grand Prix. Like its predecessors the RB12 and RB13, the RB14 used a Renault engine badged as a TAG Heuer.[3]

The RB14 was the last car built by Red Bull Racing to use customer Renault engines as the team switched to Honda power in 2019.[7]
