The 2022 World Championship saw an overhaul of the technical regulations. These changes had been planned for introduction in 2021, with teams developing their cars throughout 2020. The introduction of the regulations was delayed until the 2022 championship in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The technical regulations reintroduced the use of ground effects for the first time since venturi tunnels under cars were banned in 1983. This coincides with a simplification of the bodywork, making the underside of the car the primary source of aerodynamic grip. The other key change were a simplified front wing and a sharp new rear wing, and 18-inch tyres with wheel winglets.
The RB18 was designed under the lead of Adrian Newey as chief technical officer and Pierre Waché as technical director and was driven by defending world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. The car dominated the season winning 17 of 22 races (15 by Verstappen and 2 by Perez). This is one of the most dominant Formula One cars ever built. Verstappen secured his second consecutive Drivers’ Championship driving the RB18 and Red Bull secured their fifth Constructors’ Championship, their first since 2013. Sergio Perez finished the season 3rd, 150 pints behind his team-mate and just 3 points behind Charles Leclerc from Ferrari.
