Red Bull Technical Director Pierre Wache has revealed it will continue to prioritise outright potential over a wider operating window with the team’s 2025 F1 car.
In 2024, Max Verstappen secured his second Drivers’ title with the Austrian squad, but they lost the Constructors’ Championship to McLaren due to struggles with the RB20’s balance issues and correlation problems with updates. This resulted in a 10-race winless streak, causing concerns for Verstappen, who deemed the RB20 a formidable challenge. Red Bull’s focus for the upcoming season is on broadening the operational window of the RB21 for increased accessibility, as stated by team boss Christian Horner and project overseer Wache. Despite aiming for operational ease, Red Bull remains committed to maintaining ultimate competitiveness and performance levels, despite acknowledging past development mistakes and the need for a well-balanced, high-performing machine in the RB21.
