Red Bull reveals RB20 car for 2024 F1 season
The RB20 unveiled on Thursday features long cooling gulleys similar to Mercedes’ W14 car, with downwash sidepod solutions from Red Bull’s design. The car also has a vertical sidepod radiator inlet and heavily undercut sidepods, reminiscent of Mercedes’ W13 ‘zeropod’ car. Despite retaining some similarities to past models, the RB20 introduces notable changes like a larger floor for airflow management. There is speculation that certain design elements may be deliberately misleading to rival teams, such as the secretive aerodynamic device under the sidepods. The RB20’s livery remains consistent with Red Bull’s previous designs, with only minor updates since 2016. Team boss Christian Horner described the RB20 as an aggressive evolution of last year’s car, praising the team’s dedication to pushing boundaries in design and engineering. Drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez also shared their positive impressions of the RB20’s innovative design and direction.
