Red Bull "brave" to change F1 car concept for 2024, says Perez
Red Bull unveiled its 2024 F1 challenger last week, incorporating bold design ideas, particularly around the sidepod and engine cover areas. The team seems to have taken inspiration from Mercedes’ bodywork, evident in the gulleys running from the halo through the engine cover. Red Bull, after dominating last year, has transformed the RB20 significantly, termed by Perez as a new “concept” rather than an evolution. The inclusion of Mercedes-like design elements in Red Bull’s new car raises eyebrows. Perez acknowledges the team’s commitment to moving forward and pushing boundaries, showcasing hunger and bravery in changing a winning concept. The improvements in low-speed performance give hope for a stronger season ahead, as Perez gears up for his 14th F1 campaign with high expectations, aiming to showcase his best. The Mexican driver remains cautious about championship prospects, emphasizing equal opportunities and the collective target of winning the championship for all contenders.
