Red Bull reveals F1 2024 launch date
Red Bull has announced that they will reveal their new car for the 2024 season on February 15th, just before winter testing in Bahrain. It is unclear if they will debut the actual RB20 car or just showcase an updated color scheme on a show car. The RB20 will have high expectations after the success of its predecessor, the RB19, which won all but one of the races in 2023. Team boss Christian Horner believes that although there are subtle rule changes, competitors will continue to get closer to Red Bull, citing Mercedes’ dominance in 2020 and their ability to be beaten in 2021. Sergio Perez will remain alongside Max Verstappen for the 2024 season and will need a strong performance to secure a contract extension. Mercedes and Alpine have also announced their F1 2024 launch dates, with Mercedes revealing their new car on February 14th and Alpine holding their launch on February 7th. AlphaTauri, McLaren, and Haas have yet to announce their launch dates.
