Renault confirm launch date for RS18

The Renault Formula One team will launch its new car -- the RS18 -- on February 20, the same day as Sauber.

The French manufacturer confirmed the date in a tweet featuring a yellow outline of a Formula One car (including the now mandatory Halo cockpit protection device).

The rumours were true... The covers will officially come off on 20 February.
