Red Bull announced on Twitter that they will launch their 2018 Formula 1 challenger - the RB14 - on 19 February - and it's more than likely to be more than a livery reveal as they have done in the past.
The Red Bull occasion will thus be the second F1 new car 'launch' of the season ahead of the car rolling out on day one of testing in Barcelona.
In the past, on the insistence of chief designer Adrian Newey, Red Bull have left it notoriously late to have their car ready for the first day of preseason testing.
Some believe this backfired on the team last season and this year Red Bull team management have more than once hinted they will go all out to prevent such a scenario, hence the earlier launch.
