F1: Red Bull shakes down RB19 at Silverstone

World champions Red Bull have run their new car for the first time in secret at Silverstone.

The team revealed on social media its RB19 had been in action at the track which will hold the British Grand Prix in July.

Max Verstappen was pleased with his first run in the team’s new car.

“Of course it was a filming day but I think it was a first good impression,” he said. “Everything worked really well, everything worked really smooth.

“So that’s exactly what you want from a day like this and now I’m of course very excited to go to Bahrain.”
