Sports News] Red Bull Racing is set to unveil their new car, the RB20, in
February, as per the latest media reports. The RB20 is said to be an upgraded
version of its predecessor, the RB19, with improvements made to address certain
weaknesses. After nearly six months of research and development, Red Bull will
once again have Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez behind the wheel of the RB20 as
they aim to defend their world championship title. Following the RB19’s
dominant performance in the 2023 season, securing 21 wins in 22 races and a
record-breaking 860 points, Red Bull retained both world titles won in 2022.
However, the RB20 will face a challenging test as the development team has
shifted their focus towards the direction of the RB21. The RB20 can be seen as
an upgraded version of the RB19, with Red Bull’s Milton Keynes factory working
diligently on its development in recent months. Although the team had
established a significant lead early in the 2023 season, leading to the early
halt of upgrades and development on the RB19, the RB20 should not be considered
a comprehensive upgrade or an entirely new car.
