RacingNews365 technical expert Paolo Filisetti addresses one of the big rumours from F1 pre-season testing.
When analyzing the Red Bull RB20, it becomes apparent that this car sets the standard for other cars in the field. The intricate radiator cooling layout, with the radiator placed at the top edge of the sidepod, showcases the extreme nature of the concept. The combination of horizontal inlets and vertical slits for cooling the turbo and electronics through the intercooler adds to the uniqueness of the design. The RB20 represents the innovative approach of engineers like Adrian Newey from Milton Keynes in evolving previous concepts to gain an advantage over competitors. The complexity of the RB20’s design makes it challenging for rivals to replicate, giving Red Bull an edge throughout the season. Despite rumors of a potential overhaul to adopt a zeropod concept in Japan, the RB20’s existing design already demonstrates significant potential for success and maintaining a competitive distance from opponents.
