Red Bull’s RB20 took to the track during pre-season testing at Bahrain and revealed some elements that were purposely kept hidden during their car launch.
Red Bull caused a stir by unveiling their RB20 with a unique vertical air intake directly attached to the chassis, replacing the traditional horizontal intakes. While initial concerns arose about the efficiency of cooling for the power unit with only a small intake near the driver’s cockpit, new photos reveal that the horizontal inlets still play a role with a distinctive ‘shark mouth’ design. The RB20 showcases an innovative forward-sliding upper lip feature, in contrast to last year’s design. Additionally, an inlet cannon positioned below the top of the halo and a refined floor with raised fins hint at improved ground effects performance for 2024.
