The RB20, which was leaked in spy photos during a filming run at Silverstone ahead of its official unveiling, is the highly anticipated Formula 1 car of the 2024 season. It follows the immensely successful RB19, which achieved a remarkable 21 out of 22 victories in 2023. Will Red Bull and Adrian Newey deliver an even faster car this year?
In their quest to defend their title in 2024, the team will rely on the same formidable duo of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. Both drivers will continue for another season, with Verstappen aiming to defend his Drivers’ Crown and secure a fourth consecutive championship. This will mark their fourth season together as teammates.
Recently, both drivers unveiled their new helmets for the upcoming season. These helmets showcase a modern interpretation of a classic design. Verstappen’s helmet for 2024 features a striking lion motif.
Perez, on the other hand, will be focused on delivering consistent performances in 2024. He aims to narrow the gap to his teammate, particularly in qualifying, in order to secure his place with the team for the 2025 season. His contract is set to expire at the end of this upcoming season. In 2023, Perez achieved victory in two races, namely Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan. However, his performance declined as Verstappen gained momentum and dominated the remainder of the season. The exception was the Singapore Grand Prix, where Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz emerged as the winner.
Unfortunately, the launch event for Red Bull’s RB20 will be overshadowed by the investigation into their team principal, Christian Horner. He is facing allegations of “inappropriate behavior.” As soon as images of the RB20 and statements from Red Bull become available, they will be added to this post.
