The Red Bull and RB team relationship is under increasingly heavy attack. But do the teams’ ties really show on track? Is the 2024 RB a reliveried 2023 Red Bull? Here’s Gary Anderson’s view
The relationship between Red Bull and its second Formula 1 team RB is currently facing heightened scrutiny, particularly due to criticisms from McLaren. To assess if the new RB resembles a Red Bull clone on the track, technical expert Gary Anderson conducted a detailed comparison, focusing on Red Bull 2023 versus RB 2024. Despite sharing mechanical parts like the gearbox and suspension components for cost-efficiency, both teams still adhere to regulations that encourage individual design expression. The designs of the two teams differ significantly in areas such as front wing concepts, rear flap design, and airflow structures, reflecting unique approaches to aerodynamics. While there are some similarities in certain areas, the overall design and aerodynamic strategies demonstrate distinct characteristics tailored to each team’s preferences and objectives.
