Red Bull have unveiled their RB20 car which will compete in the 2024 F1 season.
Retaining the famous Red Bull on yellow background across predominantly blue livery, Red Bull will seek to defend their constructors’ title for a third consecutive season whilst Max Verstappen chases a fourth consecutive title.
Sergio Perez meanwhile will remain with the team for a fourth straight season as he seeks to challenge Verstappen for the title, amidst rumours surrounding his future at the team beyond this season.
This season also marks Red Bull’s 20th season in F1 since they made their debut in 2005 which has gone on to see them claim seven driver titles between Sebastian Vettel and Verstappen, plus six constructor titles.
The RB20 however faces a tough task to replicate the form of RB19 car which won 21 of 22 races, with only Singapore proving its Achilles heel as Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz took victory.
Speaking of the team’s journey at the launch amidst an on-going internal investigation into alleged misconduct, Team Principal, Christian Horner commented: “This is a momentous year in the Team’s history.
“Over the past 20 years, Red Bull has succeeded in changing the landscape of Formula One and it has done it by being determined to do things differently, by being committed to playing hard and racing even harder and by being utterly focused on competing for the biggest prizes in the sport.
“We’ve been lucky enough to do that on multiple occasions and seven Drivers’ titles, six Constructors’ Championship wins and 113 race victories to date demonstrate the success of Red Bull’s vision for the Team. The latest chapter of that story starts today with the RB20.
“It’s going to be a thrilling and hugely competitive season but as we saw last year, this is a Team operating at the peak of its powers and in Max and Checo we have two drivers who can deliver at every circuit, in any conditions, so I’m confident that, just as we have done for the past 20 years, we can compete for podiums, wins and hopefully more championships.”
Verstappen who is chasing a fourth straight title is purely focused on the upcoming pre-season test and season opener in Sakhir, Bahrain, as he explained: “For me it’s just about looking forward to Bahrain, getting comfortable and just hit the ground running, try to understand the car and see where we end up.”
