The teams of F1 will attend next week with some concerns over the preseason test scheduled for Bahrainn, scared red bull could once again be ahead of them all in an aggressive evolution of the dominant car in recent years, with Max Verstappen and ‘Czech’ Pérez behind the steering wheel.
The discovery of his car for 2024 World Cuphe RB20will not be entertained by their rivals, who are still trying to reach the gap with respect to the energy team, winner of 21 of the 22 races on the calendar last season.
“I think there will be technical departments of some teams going to hell. Where do we go from now?” commented the former designer of Jordan, Stewart and Jaguar. Gary Andersonat www.the-race.com.
At the end of last season, three-time world champion Verstappen said his reaction to seeing the first drawings of 2024 Red Bull was: “Wow, it’s totally different!”
The main focus is on Red Bull’s new sidepods, which now have tall, thin vertical radiator inlets similar to the ones they tried to put in and eventually abandoned. Mercedes.
The head of Red Bull, Christian Hornersaid that the new car is an evolution of the RB19, but acknowledged that this is not a conservative bet, but rather contains real innovation.
“You can see that we have been quite aggressive in some areas and continue to push the limits, knowing that our rivals will continue to push very hard. Some of the details of the car are absolutely exceptional,” said by Horner at the Red Bull presentation.
The star designer Adrian Newey He noted that the team made improvements in all areas: mechanics, vehicle dynamics and aerodynamics. “Is that enough? Who knows. That’s what happens in Formula One,” Newey said.
“Last year’s car was really a total surprise in terms of dominance. And now we know almost what we did since the shakedown at Silverstone. From what we can see, the car behaved as we expected, but that’s without guarantee. “You’re welcome. There may be other teams that have made bigger strides than us,” he added.
The fear is that Red Bull has moved to another level of development, while its rivals, some of whom have openly said they consider the champions to be beaten, have introduced cars clearly influenced by the RB19.
“I think we’ve made some good steps in the right direction, so it should be another good season for the team,” said ‘Checo’ Pérez.
F1 teams will have three days of testing in Bahrain, from February 21 to 23, before the opening race on March 2.
“There’s a bit of a wait Christmas. It’s exciting,” said the Mercedes technical director, James Allisonabout the preseason ‘fake war’ and the uncomfortable mix of hope and dread.
“You want it to come and the days to fly by. You also know that opening those presents on Christmas Day might not bring you all the luck you want. It’s not a relaxing time of year, but it’s very stimulating,” Allison concluded.
