Red Bull Shows True Colours With New RB20 Design During Bahrain Testing
F1Wednesday, 21 February 2024 at 08:53
The start of the new season is finally here, and at the Bahrain International Circuit, teams, including Red Bull, are completing their first testing day.
During the eventful off-season, there were many different talking points that intrigued F1 fans. First, it was Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari, but then, it was Red Bull's new design for their RB20.
It seemed that the reigning champions went the "Mercedes way" and eliminated side pods, and whether they have done so and how has been discussed since the car's launch, which was last Thursday.
However, with the cars taking to the track during the first official testing session at the Bahrain International Circuit, we finally know more details about the mysterious RB20.
Max Verstappen is the first driver behind the wheel, with Sergio Perez taking Thursday's morning session and full Friday session. And while the testing is a lot about the drivers getting to feel the car, it's also about collecting a lot of data.
Some data were also collected by eagle-eyed fans, who immediately noticed how Red Bull lets the air enter their car. As many suggested before, Red Bull's car revealed during the launch wasn't exactly as it appeared in Bahrain.
Renowned journalist Albert Fabrega took a closer look at the RB20, and provided some pictures that tell us more about Red Bull's 2024 challenger, and there are multiple interesting things about the car.
First, there seem to be engine cover ducts next to the driver's heads on both sides above the head rest.
Another interesting part are inlets which are located under the side mirrors, which resemble shark's mouth or spoon according to some, as they have a truly unique design.

On top of that, there seems to be one more inlet at the bottom part of the car, and also, there is a large vertical inlet, completely eliminating the theory about Red Bull choosing to go with Mercedes' "zero pods."
