Red Bull: "Wrong" to stick with current F1 design for new RB20 car
In 2023, Red Bull Racing has been dominating the Formula One season, winning almost all of the grand prix races and securing both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships. However, McLaren and other rivals are starting to put up a tougher challenge, indicating that the competition is getting closer. With Mercedes and Ferrari expected to make significant changes to their cars in the upcoming winter, Red Bull knows it cannot become complacent and must continue to improve its 2024 challenger. Red Bull’s chief engineer, Paul Monaghan, has stated that while the design of the 2024 car will not be radically different from the current one, they still need to find ways to make gains and stay ahead of their competition. The RB20, which is the current car, will carry over lessons learned from the RB19 and will benefit from having more wind tunnel time compared to last year when the team faced penalties for breaching the cost cap. Despite the restrictions, Red Bull has become more efficient with their testing procedures, and any refinements made will be advantageous as they continue to utilize their testing opportunities more efficiently.
