Max Verstappen completed a few laps in the new Red Bull RB-20 in wet weather conditions at Silverstone. The 2024 Formula 1 season is about to begin with pre-season testing just days away. Red Bull will be the last team to officially unveil their car for the upcoming season. However, they have already conducted a shakedown of the new vehicle at Silverstone. Verstappen had the opportunity to drive the new car in fully wet conditions.
A video clip, available on a certain platform, showed Verstappen’s recent drive in the Red Bull RB-20. The three-time world champion skillfully maneuvered the car on a soaked track, with a significant amount of water being sprayed behind the car due to the latest design by Adrian Newey. It is expected that the 2024 chassis will surpass the achievements of its record-breaking predecessor from the previous season.
Red Bull will maintain the same livery as last season, which has become a beloved design since 2016. Verstappen confirmed that the RB-20 will not feature a new livery during a live stream.
Max Verstappen has been a dominant force in Formula 1 in recent years, achieving remarkable success with Red Bull. The team’s superior machinery has given them a significant advantage over their competitors in the ground-effect era of the sport. However, the upcoming 2024 season could present challenges for the Austrian team.
Red Bull has been developing the RB-20 for several months, and they will soon shift their focus to the 2025 car. Meanwhile, rivals such as McLaren and Ferrari have extensively worked during the winter to close the gap to Max Verstappen this season.
Nevertheless, Verstappen remains the favorite for the 2024 Formula 1 season as he takes the wheel of the RB-20. He will push the car to its limits throughout the season, but it remains uncertain whether he can secure another world title this year.
