The Red Bull 2024 title contender will carry one major feature from the outgoing RB19 F1 car.
Red Bull is gearing up to unveil its RB20 on February 15th, and ahead of the launch, driver Max Verstappen provided a clue about the appearance of the team’s 2024 title contender. Revealing the key detail, he mentioned that the new car will bear a striking resemblance to its predecessor, the RB19, maintaining an identical look.
Red Bull is set to reveal its RB20 on February 15th, with driver Max Verstappen hinting that the car’s appearance will closely resemble its predecessor, the RB19.
Despite expectations for a new look, Red Bull has maintained a consistent livery since 2016, and the RB20 is expected to follow suit.
February will witness several team car unveilings before pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit from February 21st to 23rd, with Red Bull aiming to improve upon its dominant performance in the previous season with the RB20.
The Milton Keynes outfit has been known for preserving a standard livery in Formula 1 since 2016, and despite the huge success the team has been experiencing since the ground effect era, the 2024 car would be no different.
February is the month of car unveilings for the teams ahead of the pre-season testing, which is scheduled to take place at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir from February 21st to 23rd.
The Adrian Newey-designed RB19 helped Red Bull win 22 out of the 23 Grands Prix last year. With one target being missed out in Singapore, the RB20 is expected to be an evolved version that would help fill the deficiency in performance.
During a sim-racing livestream, Verstappen confirmed that the car’s appearance will remain unchanged for the 2024 season.
Having clinched three consecutive championship titles, the trend hints at Verstappen’s potential to secure a fourth title next year, matching former F1 driver Sebastian Vettel’s record. However, with Ferrari and Mercedes expressing confidence in their entirely new cars, it remains uncertain whether they will pose a significant challenge to the RB20.
