With the start of the season right around the corner Red Bull F1 team has released their livery design for the new RB20. The team is riding ahead full steam after a dominant performance in 2023 winning both the constructors and securing a 1-2 in the drivers championship. Verstappen said at the launch: “It does look a bit different. I think the team definitely pushed on quite a bit from last year and I think that’s very positive. I’m just looking forward to get to Bahrain, start testing and really see what the car is capable of.”
Early Testing Weathers Leaves Room For More
Verstappen had the opportunity to test the car at an early season testing event but the weather did not cooperate and heavy rain fell. He had the following comments regarding the test, “Unfortunately it was quite wet so you’re only driving on rain tires, but everything was working very well and I think that’s always great,” the 26-year-old explained. “You drive out of the box and there are no problems and you just do what you have to do before you get to Bahrain.”
Teammate Sergio Perez had the following comment regarding the launch, “You can see that the team has done an incredible job. We’ve gone very aggressive with the concept, so I’m looking forward to it.
I find it great from Red Bull that we’ve had such a dominant car last year, that we just changed completely our concept. It’s something that I think requires a lot of hunger in the team, to keep pushing all the boundaries. [It] will be interesting to see how everything feels on track.”
