Red Bull has attributed the team’s shock decline in the 2024 F1 season to enduring complications with the correlation between its wind tunnel and the race track.
The previous season started strong for Red Bull with Max Verstappen leading in the first four races, but a 10-race winless streak followed due to development issues with the RB20 car. Verstappen’s performance secured the Drivers’ championship, but Sergio Perez’s lack of podium finishes cost Red Bull the Constructors’ title. Red Bull Technical Director Pierre Wache admitted the team was surprised by their strong start and disappointed by the mid-season struggles. Issues with car characteristics and downforce affected their performance and will need to be addressed for 2025. Despite challenges, Wache highlighted that Red Bull’s win in Qatar justified their decision not to revert to an earlier car specification.
