Red Bull RB18 Formula One Car Enamel Pin

This is a 2 inch soft enamel pin of the Red Bull RB18 Formula One car raced during the 2022 season. 

The RB18 is one of the fastest cars on the grid in 2022. Despite suffering with bad reliability early on, it has taken both its drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez to wins and pole positions. With it the team look set to take the drivers championship for the second time in a row and the constructors championship for the first time since 2013.

The 2022 season saw a massive change to the technical regulations, these new regulations were designed so that cars and drivers could race closer together without being effected by dirty air. This dirty air made cars harder to follow because the car in front would reduce the downforce of the car behind.

The new regulations would use ground effect to generate downforce without creating dirty air. Red Bull's Chief Technology Officer Adrian Newey was an early adopter of this type of aerodynamics having done his final project on ground effect within motorsport during his time at university. This early knowledge and experience in ground effect set  Newey up well for the new regulations change.

As a result the Red Bull RB18 generates a lot of downforce without much drag, it also did not suffer as much as other cars from porpoising. Porpoising is when the car will violently bounce up and down while at high speed. This can make the car unstable as well as making it harder for drivers to break at the right point on the track. With a strong foundation to build on the RB18 has only gotten faster as the season went on.

It will be shipped in a padded envelope to ensure safe delivery.
