Formula 1’s defending champion will bring the 2024 launch season to a close when it reveals its RB20 on Thursday night. But should everything it’s seen from its rivals so far this month give it cause for concern?
“The defending Formula 1 champion will unveil its RB20 for the 2024 season on Thursday night, marking the end of the ‘launch season’. All teams have revealed their challengers, but the question remains if any can truly challenge Red Bull. Ferrari seems to have taken a more conservative approach with their new car design, focusing on providing a stable platform for the drivers rather than pushing the technical boundaries. There are concerns about the differing views on suspension importance within Ferrari’s team. In contrast, Mercedes has shown a more aggressive approach to innovation in their car design, which gives rise to cautious optimism for the upcoming season. Toto Wolff’s careful approach to setting expectations for 2024 hints at a potentially competitive season ahead.”
