Red Bull says it’s barely developed its 2023 Formula 1 car all season and actually got a very early headstart on 2024. Its upgrade rate supports that, says Edd Straw, and it’s both bad news for Red Bull’s rivals and reflects badly on them
Red Bull has dominated the 2023 Formula 1 season, forcing its rivals to make changes for their 2024 cars. Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, and Aston Martin are expected to make big gains to close the gap next year. However, the big question is how much Red Bull will improve with the RB20. Christian Horner, Red Bull’s team principal, has been watching the chasing pack but remains confident in their focus on next year’s car. Despite less aerodynamic testing time and a cost cap breach penalty, Red Bull has consistently developed the RB19 while also working on the RB20. They have made several upgrades throughout the season, with the most significant steps taken in Baku and Hungary. Since the summer break, there have been limited upgrades.
