The RB20 will follow statistically the best F1 car of all-time in 2024 – leading to some big questions for Adrian Newey and his team.
Red Bull faced a decision with their 2024 RB20 Formula 1 car, aiming to maintain their advantage over rivals. The RB19 had been extremely successful in 2022 and 2023, winning 21 out of 22 races and establishing itself as one of the best F1 cars ever. However, as rules mature, other teams tend to catch up, posing a challenge for Red Bull. When designing the RB20, Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey discussed the dilemma of either continuing to develop the existing concept or starting from scratch. Due to limited resources, the team opted to evolve the 2022 car further, hoping it is the right decision.
