Red Bull has recently made an official announcement of its newest car for 2017 Formula One. Red Bull took to its official website a short video to give F1 fans a sneak peek on RB13, the car entry to look forward to.
The video highlighted the significant parts and new design of RB13. One of the highlights that captured the curiosity of car enthusiasts is the duct on the nose of the new F1 car from Red Bull.

Furthermore, Red Bull took to its official Twitter account some photos of the team's uniform for 2017 F1. Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo are shown modeling the new suits.
The RB13 will be driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen. The former has won the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix against Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Whereas, the latter has won in Spain last year.
Meanwhile, BBC Sports has noted that the new RB13 also sports a shark-fin-like feature on the rear bodywork. This feature is expected to provide anaerodynamic advantage with regard to cornering. The publication also mentioned that this shark fin will most likely be spotted in Mercedes' F1 car in the pre-season testing.
