When Red Bull unveiled its 2024 rival, it caught everyone off guard because it looked very different from their all-conquering 2023 vehicle, which won all but one of the races the previous season.
Despite the Silver Arrows adopting a different design ethos this season, there are clear parallels to the Mercedes from the previous season.
The former Haas, Renault, and Lotus driver conducted his own technical study of the new cars that will compete on the grid in 2024. He examined the exterior differences between the Red Bull RB19 and RB20 and found a number of alterations.
In addition, he said that, although it would have made sense given their circumstances, their new car is by no means a “conservative” design choice.
“I wasn’t sure what to anticipate and was shocked to see their new vehicle. I wasn’t sure if they would simply be updating the car from the previous year or if they would make any bold decisions, which they ultimately did. Grosjean clarified in a video posted to his YouTube account that “they definitely did.”
To be honest, [the] front wing appears to have a gorgeous moustache. Extremely heavy in the center and rather light on the outer and interior.
Its form distinguishes it from the others; also, note the sidepod entrance. The Mercedes sidepod entrance piqued my curiosity, and the Red Bulls are not all that different.Take note of the diffuser’s front, where a large amount of air is going to be brought in for the ground effect, and the width of the front suspension, which aims to remove any obstructions from the front of the floor. Another change from last year is that the nose goes to the main plate.
