Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko admits the team is remaining cautious regarding the chances of making its Mercedes-style Formula 1
The Milton-Keynes-based squad aimed for evolution this season after dominating last year with 21 victories from 22 races to retain both titles. Red Bull introduced innovative features, such as deep gulleys in the engine cover and a vertical inlet on the sidepods, inspired by past Mercedes designs under the new ground effect rules. While Mercedes’s ‘zeropod’ concept didn’t work out, Red Bull is optimistic about their similar approach. Red Bull’s Chief Technical Officer, Adrian Newey, has always favored radiator-less cars, and the RB20 represents a “small revolution” in the team’s development. Reigning champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez both see the RB20 as a bold and promising move for the team. Verstappen will showcase the car at the start of pre-season testing in Bahrain, highlighting Red Bull’s commitment to pushing boundaries in Formula 1.
