  • The car that returned the World Constructors’ Championship to Milton Keynes after an eight-year absence, the RB18 was Oracle Red Bull Racing’s competitor for the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season, and will be forever remembered as the car that dominated the first year of the new aerodynamics era. Swiftly becoming one of the most successful cars in the sport’s history, the RB18 won seventeen of the twenty-two races, fifteen with reigning World Champion Max Verstappen and two in the hands of Sergio Pérez.

    The RB18 proved to be a masterful response to a set of radically new aerodynamic regulations for the 2022 season, which proved problematic for most other teams. It did not start the year as the fastest car, instead that honour fell to the Ferrari F1-75, and had to be developed over the course of the season to unleash its full potential. The RB18’s designers developed many unconventional but ultimately pioneering components, many of which that were later replicated by their rivals, the ultimate compliment to the engineers’ ingenuity.

    Pre-season testing in Barcelona and Sakhir indicated the strength of the RB18 chassis, with Red Bull and Ferrari appearing to have the fastest cars at the outset. It was a disastrous start to the season for the team at the opener in Bahrain however, as both drivers retired towards the end of the race due to fuel lock issues. A week later in Saudi Arabia, Pérez claimed a maiden pole position, though he was only to finish fourth after an unfortunately timed safety car, but Verstappen seized the team’s first win of the season, capitalising on superior tyre warm up after a late virtual safety car period. Pérez followed this up with a second position at the Australian Grand Prix, inheriting the position from Verstappen after he retired with a fuel leak.

    Red Bull proceeded to dominate the next seven rounds, Verstappen taking victories in Emilia-Romagna, Miami, Spain, Azerbaijan and Canada, with a third position in Monaco as well. Pérez emerged triumphant in Monaco after taking full advantage of strategic errors by Ferrari, only his third career win, and regularly finished second to his teammate, except for a fourth position in Miami and a retirement in Canada, forced by a gearbox issue. The team’s performance dipped at the British and Austrian races, though both drivers claimed a second position. Verstappen could only finish seventh at Silverstone after suffering damage to his car after driving over debris, whilst Pérez span into the gravel after contact with a Mercedes in Austria, ultimately retiring with floor damage. Heading into the halfway point of the season, Red Bull had established an intimidating lead in both championships, though Ferrari and Charles Leclerc were still a threat.

    However, after the summer break, a galvanised Verstappen began to dominate proceedings, winning nine of the remaining eleven races of the season, sealing his second World Drivers’ Championship in Japan with four races still to go. An emotional victory in the subsequent US Grand Prix, a day after Red Bull co-founder and owner Dietrich Mateschitz passed away, saw the team clinch a milestone fifth World Constructors’ Championship title, and their first since 2013. At the next race in Mexico, Verstappen won again, breaking the record for most wins in a Formula 1 season previously joint held by Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. He would extend the record with a further win at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi, as well as amassing the most points in a single season, 454, beating the record set by Lewis Hamilton in 2019.

    Meanwhile, Pérez recorded his second win of the season in Singapore as well as podiums in Belgium, Japan, Mexico and Abu Dhabi. While the Mexican’s form wasn’t quite as strong as the first half of the season, fewer reliability issues saw him earn more points, though Perez finished third in the championship standings after being beaten by Leclerc at the final race of the season.

    Overall, the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB18 earned seventeen wins, eleven further podiums, eight pole positions and eight fastest laps, scoring 759 points and winning Oracle Red Bull Racing the World Drivers’ Championship and World Constructors’ Championship.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
    • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
    • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
    • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
    Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

    It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

    Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
    - The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
    - During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
    - This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
    No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
    No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
    - You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
    Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
    You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
    The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
