The RB20 car, unveiled by Red Bull Racing at their factory in Milton Keynes, England, has shown improvements in low-speed cornering, an area where it faced challenges in the previous season. Despite announcing a strategy of “evolution over revolution” for their latest car after dominating the 2023 season, Red Bull surprised with some radical design elements, such as a gulley on the engine cover reminiscent of the Mercedes W14. Sergio Perez, a member of the Red Bull team, praised their commitment to progress and ambitious renovations. He acknowledged the similarities to previous Mercedes cars but emphasized the team’s determination to push boundaries and move forward.
Red Bull’s Chief Technical Officer, Adrian Newey, admitted that the RB19’s weaknesses were exposed during their only defeat in the previous season. Max Verstappen, Perez’s teammate, highlighted the need for improvements in slow-speed performance. Perez confirmed that Red Bull has made strides in addressing these concerns, particularly in low-speed performance. However, he acknowledged that the true impact of these changes can only be assessed once the car hits the track.
