The Crew Motorfest - Red Bull RB18 - Alpha Grand Finale Race - Gameplay Review Test Drive
5The 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 Adrian Newey's most successful Formula One design to date and one of the most dominant Formula One cars ever built.
The RB18 made its debut at the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix, with drivers Max Verstappen (the defending World Champion) and Sergio Pérez qualifying 2nd and 4th respectively. In the early stages of the race, Verstappen suffered from overheating brakes, and after his second pitstop on lap 46, his steering column broke. On lap 54, Verstappen was forced to retire due to a fuel lock issue, and Pérez spun at turn 1 on the final lap due to the same issue.[4] This marked Red Bull's first double retirement since the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix.
At the next race in Saudi Arabia, Pérez took his maiden pole position, with Verstappen qualifying 4th, confused about a "lack of grip".[5] On lap 1, Verstappen was able to beat Carlos Sainz Jr. off the line to take 3rd place, while Pérez led the race from Charles Leclerc. During the opening stint, Pérez came under pressure from a potential undercut by Leclerc and pitted for the hard tyres. On the same lap, Nicholas Latifi crashed at the final turn, causing a safety car, allowing Leclerc, Verstappen and Sainz to get a cheap pitstop and gain track position over Pérez. After the restart, Leclerc seemed to be comfortably leading, but a virtual safety car from numerous retirements on lap 37 changed the dynamic of the race.[opinion] Verstappen's tyres appeared to have warmed up better than Leclerc's, allowing him to close up and attempt to take the lead numerous times. Verstappen took the lead on lap 47, which he would keep to take his and the RB18's first win of the season. Pérez finished the race in 4th, unable to overtake Sainz.
The Australian Grand Prix proved to be a tricky affair for Red Bull, with Verstappen qualifying 2nd, 0.3 seconds behind polesitter Leclerc, while Pérez qualified 3rd. At the start, Verstappen squeezed Pérez, causing Pérez to lose a position to Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes. Pérez eventually got past Hamilton on lap 9, but both Red Bull drivers began to struggle with graining in their front-left tyres. Verstappen began to rapidly lose time to leader Charles Leclerc, while Pérez started to once again fall into the clutches of Hamilton. Verstappen and Pérez pitted on lap 17 and lap 19 for hard tyres respectively. Pérez was briefly overcut by Lewis Hamilton, but he took advantage of Hamilton's underheated tyres to overtake him into turn 9. A safety car caused by Sebastian Vettel's crash allowed George Russell to take a cheap pitstop and jump Pérez. Fernando Alonso also stayed out on hard tyres, meaning Pérez was in fifth place. Pérez got past Alonso on lap 30 and then overtook Russell on lap 36 to take third. Verstappen suffered a fuel leak on lap 39 while running a comfortable second. This meant Pérez inherited second after Verstappen's retirement, albeit finishing over 20 seconds behind Leclerc.
