Red Bull unsure if "third evolution" RB20 F1 car will be good enough
The Milton Keynes-based Red Bull Racing team is preparing to unveil its 2024 car, but they are aware that they don’t need to make major changes after their dominant campaign in 2023. Chief technical officer Adrian Newey acknowledges that simply refining their current concept may not be enough to stay ahead of the competition. Speaking on the team’s podcast, Newey revealed that the RB20 is the third evolution of their original RB18, but he is unsure if their conservative approach will be enough, considering that other teams may have taken a different route. Newey expressed surprise at the extent of their dominance last year and expected the grid to close up, which happened towards the end of the season. He also mentioned that the team faces pressure as even a small swing in performance over the winter can make a significant difference. However, the cost cap prevents them from exploring more radical design approaches.
