The Mexican driver has stated that he will be a contender for the championship in the upcoming season. Last year, the performance of the two drivers was completely one-sided within the team. The Dutch driver won 19 out of the 22 Grand Prix races, while the other driver only managed to win two races in the dominant RB19 car. Now, Checo is confident that he will have a stronger campaign this year and will challenge the three-time champion.
The team from Austria has recently been in the spotlight due to an investigation involving their team principal. However, the focus has now shifted to the launch of the RB20 car, which took place at Milton Keynes yesterday. The Mexican driver, who is known as the Minister of Defence, has decided to elevate his performance this season and compete for the championship title against his teammate.
The Mexican driver expressed his desire to get on the track as soon as possible and familiarize himself with the car’s behavior. In the previous season, the 34-year-old driver was far behind his Dutch teammate and finished much lower in the standings. However, he firmly believes that he will perform better this year and will fight for the top position in the championship.

The Dutch driver was seen driving the 2024 challenger car at Silverstone in wet conditions. He had previously driven the car during a shakedown, but this time he took it out for a run in the rain.
A video of the RB20 car was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), and many fans shared their reactions to the car. Some fans predicted that the car would win the championship based on its performance in pre-season testing, while others were amazed by its powerful sound.
However, Verstappen took the car out for a run to understand its dynamics and learn how it behaves. The Dutch driver is determined to add another championship title to his collection and is fully focused on the upcoming season.
