Red Bull Tries To Scare The Crap Out Of Everyone With Its New F1 Car
Red Bull Tries To Scare The Crap Out Of Everyone With Its New F1 Car-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

Red Bull’s 2017-spec car is named the RB13, so they released an appropriately freaky launch video to debut their new car with every cheesy superstition in the books. Please, show it to small children and send us the reaction videos.

We’re not scared, although if my TV starts doing that during Daytona, I might be.

(I’m going to need my Fluffy Bunny just in case. Fluffy? FLUFFY?!)

Besides the freaky-deaky launch video, there’s one detail everyone immediately noticed on Red Bull’s car: what’s going on with that nose? There’s a big, air inlet in the just the tip of the curved appendage sticking out of the front of the nose.

Red Bull didn’t release a ton of detail on the car, so we’re all curious where this air inlet is routing and what the benefits of such a hole are over the -standard thumb nose used by the other teams.

I'm Not Buying Bernie Ecclestone's Sympathy Tour
Ever since Liberty Media bought Formula One and moved former Dark Lord of Cars Bernie Ecclestone aside to a “Chairman Emeritus” role, Ecclestone keeps popping up headlines with sad tales about how he doesn’t get a say in F1's direction anymore, and gets no respect. He wants us to feel...

NASCAR Driver Asks To See Throttle Data To Decide If Competitor Hit Him On Purpose
It isn’t often that racing spats over wrecks get super technical. It’s usually just a finger-pointing match over who hit whom and why. But after a wreck with Joey Logano in Las Vegas, Kyle Busch apparently asked to see his throttle data to determine if Logano hit him on purpose—,...
