Max Verstappen is expected to dominate the 2024 season, as reports suggest that he did not fully showcase the capabilities of the RB-20 during pre-season testing. The first race of the season is set to begin in less than a week, following three days of testing sessions. Throughout these sessions, both Verstappen and Red Bull demonstrated impressive speed and performance with their uniquely designed RB-20. Consequently, it is likely that Milton Keynes will continue to dominate the 2024 campaign. It has been reported that Verstappen deliberately ran with additional fuel load, giving the chassis extra weight compared to other teams. This put him at a disadvantage, as other drivers were running with lower fuel loads. Despite this, the 26-year-old driver still achieved remarkable results and lap times, further highlighting the impressive pace of the RB-20. Verstappen commended Red Bull for pushing the limits with their new car. Additionally, it was revealed that Verstappen was operating the engine in a low hybrid mode during the testing sessions. This suggests that the RB-20 has the potential to produce even greater speed. Despite the hybrid mode, the reigning world champion finished in first place during the testing session, indicating that the RB-20 may be faster than its record-breaking predecessor, the RB19.
In a recent post on X, many fans expressed their astonishment at the fact that Verstappen was not showing his full potential during the testing session. One supporter noted that the season had not even started yet, but it already felt like it was over. Another fan remarked that the other teams on the grid were in trouble because they had no chance against the dominant Milton Keynes.
The majority of the fans were concerned about a repeat of the 2023 season, where Ferrari was the only team other than Red Bull to win a race. One fan mentioned their excitement to see who would come in second place, as Verstappen was likely to finish first in the championship. Another fan complained that the season would be incredibly boring due to the same driver winning every race.
Nahhhhhhh, it’s completely finished. The season hasn’t even started and it’s already done.
Oh no, it’s over.
This season is going to be extremely dull.
I can’t wait to see who will come in second place, this season will be so thrilling.
We’re in big trouble, oh my god.
The season is over. Alonso was right. It’s all finished except for the shouting.
Well, this is unfortunate.
I can’t decide if I am really excited for this season or if I’m dreading it.
I believe this year will be the best in recent memory. I can’t wait to see who will secure second place!!!
Well, at least the battle for 2-5 in the standings looks like it will be interesting this year with Aston Martin, Merc, McLaren, and Ferrari. Red Bull, especially with Max, seems to be in a league of their own.
The aerodynamic genius has once again done an excellent job in developing a championship-winning chassis for the 2024 season. Only time will tell how the rival teams will fare against Milton Keynes. Towards the end of the 2023 season, most teams on the grid were closing the gap to Red Bull’s pace.
