The Red Bull RB20 has already caught the eye of many following its official launch, with team advisor Dr Helmut Marko insisting that its changes are anything but minor.
Red Bull advisor Dr. Helmut Marko stated that the team’s new car for the upcoming season is more than just an evolution compared to its predecessor. The RB20 impressed many with its narrow sidepod design revealed ahead of pre-season testing. Red Bull is the heavy favorite for the new season, following its dominant performance last year with 21 wins out of 22 races. Due to their advantageous position, Red Bull was able to focus on developing the RB20 earlier than their competitors. Marko mentioned that the new design is a small revolution, drawing comparisons to Mercedes’ ‘zero sidepod’ idea from 2022, although Red Bull’s concept is not as radical. The team aims to test the effectiveness of this new design during upcoming tests, in hopes of maintaining their competitive edge in the upcoming season.
