Page 1 of 1 Red Bull Racing absolutely dominated the 2022 and 2023 Formula 1 World Championship and looked to carry on this form during the 2024 season. Where the successful RB18 evolved in the RB19, the new-for-2024 RB20 represents a more dramatic departure from the earlier designs.
Interestingly, the Adrian Newey led design team have taken inspiration from previous, disappointing Mercedes Grand Prix cars. As with the failed Mercedes designs, the focus was on minimising the side-pod size to improve aerodynamic efficiency. Among the other distinct features of the RB20 are the prominent canon outlets mounted behind the HALO on either side of the central air-intake. These are understood to channel hot air from the radiators and intercoolers to the rear of the car.
That the zero side-pod layout still has merit was underlined by defending World Champion Max Verstappen on the first day of testing when he easily topped the charts. On day two, Sergio Perez ran into some technical issues but was still second fastest. Page 1 of 1
