Red Bull have unveiled the RB20 – the car they hope they will defend their double world championship titles with over the 2024 season.
Last year’s Red Bull’s RB19 dominated the 2023 season, taking an unprecedented 21 grand prix victories as the team won all but one round of last year’s championship.
The new RB20 naturally evolves on last year’s incredibly successful model, featuring a largely unchanged livery. However, the car does include some revisions of note, including an aggressive new front wing design and a modified rear engine cover that appears to be influenced by the design of last year’s Mercedes W14.
Despite its predecessor being the most successful Formula 1 car ever designed, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner insists that the RB20 is not a recycling of last year’s successful concept.
“You can see it’s an evolution of last year’s car,” Horner told media including RaceFans. “But as our 20th version, the guys haven’t been conservative. You can see they’ve been quite aggressive in certain areas, still pushing the boundaries.
“We’re conscious that our opponents are still going to be pushing very hard. We’ve seen a few cars being released that look similar in theme to what we launched last year. So you can see all the men and women behind the scenes have been working very hard and some of the detail on the car is absolutely exquisite.”
