Christian Horner has seemingly confirmed Lewis Hamilton’s biggest fear about Red Bull’s 2024 F1 car development.
After winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Max Verstappen’s dominant performance raised concerns for Mercedes, with Hamilton admitting that Red Bull’s pace is a worry, especially since they haven’t developed their car since August. Hamilton stated that the team knows what needs to be done, but it remains to be seen whether they can catch up. Red Bull’s team principal, Christian Horner, confirmed that they were able to start work on their 2024 challenger early, supporting Hamilton’s concerns. Horner emphasized that development on the RB20 has been minimal due to focusing on RB19, but the team is proud of their success this year, as it is the most successful car in F1’s history.
