F1 | Red Bull, Ricciardo hits the wall on the filming day of presentation of the RB14

Start with a bang for Daniel Ricciardo in the short debut shakedown of the new RB14. Despite the team's classic recommendations (few spare parts in view of the pre-season tests. ed.), the Australian was involved in an accident yesterday, destroying the entire front of the new Red Bull.

The bang, which occurred approximately seventy-five kilometers into the filming day, appears to have been caused by a puddle of water. Daniel was unable to control the car due to the amount of water on the track, ending up against the external barriers. This appears to have caused the wing and the entire front end of the RB14 to break (including suspensions. ed.). Red Bull, in view of the next commitments, it seems to have accelerated the production of spare parts, trying to minimize development downtime. Despite this small inconvenience, however, The Australian's first impressions of the car were positive, especially for the feeling created in the wet. The objective will now be to get the car back in order for the tests in Spain.
