Bernie Collins explains the drop in performance of Red Bull after the first races of the 2024 season. The former strategist of Aston Martin reveals that the updates to the Red Bull’s RB20 car resulted in a weakening of its performance. Despite the team’s previous domination in the sport, they have been unable to maintain their superiority this season as their rivals have reached the same level.
Collins initially believed that Red Bull had done an excellent job this season after watching the first race. However, subsequent races have revealed that the team is struggling to implement the new changes. The signs of struggle and the drop in performance indicate a noticeable shift from their previous success. Red Bull claims to be working tirelessly to resolve these issues.
The 36-year-old analyst shares her assessment of Red Bull’s RB20 car. She notes that the team started the year with a completely different design compared to their previous chassis. While the previous design was powerful, Red Bull surprised everyone with their new design, which bears similarities to Mercedes’ style.
Furthermore, the former Formula 1 strategist highlights that Red Bull is apologizing, claiming a lack of understanding of how the various components work together and that the updates have not produced the desired results. Collins sees this as a risky move, as the minor issues with the new car design indicate uncertainty.
In summary, Bernie Collins emphasizes that Red Bull will face more difficulties with their car compared to the previous year, as it lacks certain elements that were present before. However, Red Bull fans hope that Max Verstappen will achieve more victories in the Grand Prix this season and maintain the lead in the Constructors’ Championship.
