How Red Bull’s unique F1 cooling approach helped boost its top speed in Jeddah
In Saudi Arabia, the RB20 by Red Bull showed a great balance between straightline potential and downforce for cornering, despite being slower than Haas in the speed trap. Red Bull managed to optimize downforce/drag levels by making bodywork changes to reduce cooling output and increase speed. The RB20 features innovative design elements such as airbox arrangement, sidepod inlets, and heat rejection options, allowing for versatile adjustments. The car’s rear wing modifications, including a lower-downforce configuration, aimed to reduce drag while maintaining top speed and balance. The new beam wing configuration also focused on reducing load generated, emphasizing aerodynamic efficiency. Overall, Red Bull’s strategic adjustments showcased their commitment to maximizing performance on the track.
