Red Bull released the first picture of its 2018 RB14 in action with Daniel Ricciardo behind the wheel, just a few hours after its online unveiling.

Bad weather awaited the Milton Keynes-based team at Silverstone however for the car's shakedown run conducted within F1's filming day regulations which allow a maximum of 100km of running.

The bold looking charger, running in a temporary dark-blue and black livery, was completed ahead of schedule in order to permit the team and its drivers to get down to work at the outset when pre-season kicks off in Barcelona next week.
