Red Bull "brave" to change F1 car concept for 2024, says Perez
Red Bull unveiled its 2024 F1 challenger last week, featuring bold design ideas, especially around the sidepod and engine cover area. The team drew inspiration from other outfits like Mercedes, with gulleys running through the engine cover from the halo. Despite winning 21 out of 22 races in 2023, Red Bull considered the RB20 a new “concept” rather than just an evolution. Sergio Perez admitted surprise at the Mercedes-inspired elements, praising the team’s forward-thinking attitude. Perez noted improvements in low-speed performance and expressed determination to regain Red Bull’s trust after a challenging 2023 season. The Mexican driver aims to be at his best in his 14th F1 campaign and targets a championship win, acknowledging that all drivers have equal opportunities to compete.
