The talented car designer from Britain appears to have doubts about his latest creation and is concerned that Red Bull may be surpassed by their competitors in the race for development. Adrian Newey, the team’s chief designer, unveiled their 2024 challenger on Thursday, setting the standard that their rivals would need to surpass. However, Newey himself does not seem convinced that the Austrian team will be able to bring the championship home once again.
While the Austrian manufacturer has recently faced allegations against their F1 team leader, yesterday’s launch was solely focused on discovering what Red Bull has developed during the winter break. Despite making significant changes to the RB-20, the renowned British designer remains uncertain about the design.
The car has been described as “scary” by rival teams who had previously adopted the aerodynamic concept of the RB-19. They were left amazed by the changes that Red Bull has implemented on their new car. Although Newey is not entirely satisfied with his creation, he holds an advantage over others due to the developmental progress made in the previous season. The RB-20 was seen in a shakedown run at Silverstone, with the reigning champion behind the wheel.
Red Bull and their drivers unveiled the RB-20 in Milton Keynes yesterday. The drivers were likely taken aback by the drastic change in design compared to its predecessor. During the launch, Dutch driver Max Verstappen described the new car as bold and aggressive, expressing his astonishment at the design. The three-time champion revealed that he had seen a sketch of the RB-20 during the Abu Dhabi GP weekend and was not expecting such a significant change.
As the season approaches and teams gear up for a new battle, Verstappen has set high goals for himself. He is preparing for another season of breaking records and is determined to achieve the elusive perfect season.
