The Red Bull RB-20 recently made its debut at the renowned Silverstone circuit.
Max Verstappen, the reigning Formula 1 champion, took Red Bull’s 2024 F1 contender, the RB-20, for a spin at Silverstone. Despite the rainy conditions, the Dutch driver completed his initial laps in the car and shared his thoughts on its performance and comfort.
Verstappen, who dominated the previous season with 19 race victories and record-breaking performances in the RB-19, will now be driving the RB-20. This new car draws inspiration from certain elements of the Mercedes W14. Many within the F1 community expect Verstappen and Red Bull to continue their dominance in the upcoming 2024 season.
Verstappen expressed his positive first impression of the RB-20 in a video posted on Red Bull’s Instagram account. He highlighted the importance of feeling at ease in the car and eagerly looked forward to driving it in Bahrain to further explore its capabilities.
Sergio Perez also had a positive experience driving the RB-20. The Mexican driver expressed excitement about testing the car in Bahrain and felt a strong connection to it. However, he did mention feeling the cold weather while driving at Silverstone.
Perez’s performance in the RB-19 during the 2023 season was not as successful as his teammate Verstappen’s, who secured consecutive victories and set records. It will be interesting to see how Perez performs in the RB-20.
There is great anticipation surrounding the RB-20’s performance and its potential to rival other cars on the track. The inclusion of the zeropod concept in the Red Bull car, a concept that was previously rejected by Mercedes, adds an intriguing element to watch out for.
