On day the new Red Bull F1 car debuts, Daniel Ricciardo crashes it
LONDON — Australian Daniel Ricciardo crashed Red Bull's new Formula One car on its track debut, it emerged on Tuesday, but the team said the damage was minor and there would be no consequences for testing in Spain next week.
"No issues for Barcelona, we'll be fine," said a team spokesman.
The Red Bull team had just shown the car off in a tweet for the first time on Monday.
The closed session, limited to 100km on special Pirelli tires at a wet Silverstone circuit on Monday, was for private filming.
Footage provided by the team after the session showed Ricciardo driving the new RB14 out of the garage and down the pit lane before lapping in a cloud of spray, but did not mention any incident.
