Red Bull went back on a wing design concept for 2024 while its rivals used it to great success. Gary Anderson compares the teams and asks whether Red Bull needs its old nose design back
The Red Bull RB21 will be highly anticipated in 2025 to see if it can maintain the team’s dominance with its redesign. I am particularly interested in observing the nose design and how it impacts the overall airflow of the car. The front wing’s effect on airflow plays a crucial role in determining the car’s performance further back. Optimizing airflow is essential as it sets the development direction for the rest of the vehicle. Red Bull’s innovative nose design, especially the slot gap concept, has influenced other teams to follow suit and make adjustments for better performance. Ultimately, this attention to detail and aerodynamic optimization can make a significant difference in Formula 1 competition.
