The Red Bull Racing RB18 is a Formula One car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing which competed in the 2022 Formula One World Championship.[1] The RB18 was driven by defending world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. Verstappen secured his second consecutive Drivers' Championship driving the RB18 and Red Bull secured their fifth Constructors' Championship, their first since 2013.[2] The RB18 is one of Adrian Newey's most successful Formula One designs to date, behind its successor, the RB19, and also one of the most dominant Formula One cars ever built.
