Red Bull has revealed the team will prioritise “evolution” with its 2025 F1 car as committing to wholesale change wouldn’t “make sense”.
Red Bull is facing increased pressure to make changes to their car in response to their decreasing competitiveness this season, as McLaren has taken the lead in the standings due to Red Bull’s balance issues with the RB20. Despite this, Red Bull is hesitant to introduce radical solutions to gain an advantage with the RB21, with Team Principal Horner emphasizing the importance of the impending regulations and cost cap. The team will continue building on the current car’s foundation for next season, with Horner acknowledging the challenges of transitioning to a new engine partnership with Ford. Red Bull’s new engine division faces initial hurdles but is expected to bring long-term benefits, with the new building and revised processes set to address existing issues with the team’s correlation tools. Despite operating with an outdated wind tunnel, Red Bull is focused on integrating the new engine and car for the 2026 season, anticipating both short-term obstacles and long-term gains.
