Red Bull’s new RB21 has been launched in Bahrain, aiming to support Max Verstappen in his pursuit of a fifth consecutive drivers’ championship. Verstappen has clinched all three drivers’ titles since the introduction of ground effect cars in 2022, following his first championship win in 2021. The RB21 is described as an evolution of Red Bull’s dominant recent cars, with limited technical details disclosed. Verstappen, optimistic about the upcoming season, acknowledges the challenges faced in the previous season’s latter half and emphasizes the importance of improving the car’s balance. He anticipates a competitive season with close battles among multiple drivers, welcoming the excitement it brings to the sport. The RB21 marks a shift without the significant involvement of former chief technical officer Adrian Newey, who has moved on to Aston Martin, while the technical team led by Pierre Wache prepares for pre-season testing alongside Mercedes and Williams.
