Red Bull RB18 swój dzień filmowy miał dzisiaj na torze Silverstone, a nie wczoraj tak jak początkowo pisałem. Wczoraj prawdopodobnie się do niego przygotowywali. Żadnych nagrań, ani zdjęć do tej pory nie ma. #F1PL https://t.co/3cYrQZYUvh

Another Twitter account also later confirmed that the Milton-Keynes based team will perform a shakedown in a white car. However, if this turns out to be true, the team must be trying to keep the pictures from leaking out.
Red Bull had already said that more changes are to come
A few days after the release of the new car, the team’s advisor Helmut Marko said that there are still some updates to come. He had admitted that it was not easy to prepare the new car given the new technical regulations.
It seems like Marko was right and the team designer Adrian Newey is secretly getting the car perfectly ready for the new season. In case Newey has come up with a brilliant idea, it is crucial for the team to make sure that it remains a secret.
The team must ensure that they keep their new secret design out of the spotlight for as long as possible so that others don’t copy it.
