Red Bull’s revolutionary RB20 concept has allayed worries, according to Max Verstappen, who fully supports the new design.Verstappen is going for a fourth consecutive World Championship in 2024 and is the clear favorite after a spectacular test in Bahrain for the RB20. In 2023, he dominated the field with 19 wins from 22 races.
Red Bull chose a dramatic design for the RB20, resembling the disastrous Mercedes W14 of the previous season with its redesigned sidepods and engine cover, rather than just following a trend of progression.
Verstappen fully trusts Adrian Newey’s most recent design, which Red Bull thought was necessary to give it more room for growth as they felt their previous concept had reached its limit.
Each team returned to the paddock last week for pre-season testing after months of working on their cars behind the scenes during the winter.With great anticipation, nine teams watched to see if Red Bull’s somewhat drastic reforms would bear fruit.Max Verstappen finished the first day of testing more than a second ahead of his closest competitor when the checkered flag flew.
Although it’s difficult to make much sense of the preseason schedule, it’s a given that they are once again the fastest team in Formula One.Damon Hill, on the other hand, picks a different driver because he doesn’t believe the Dutchman will win the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Fernando Alonso, the current champion, is likely to be the next in the opposite sequence, followed by Checo eventually Perez, among others
The entire globe will be in complete shock when they see who the winner is.Lewis Hamilton is going to prevail stipulated that simultaneously Red Bulls have let slip, excessively hot, or experienced some other type of technical issue that they were unaware would occur.”I just believe that we’re likely to be rewarded with a surprise result, at least I hope! And that’s not wishful thinking!”It’s a bold claim made by Hill that Lewis Hamilton will win the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Although Mercedes were strong in the preseason, they have not been able to match Red Bull’s speed and may even lag behind Ferrari.Hamilton would prefer to start his final year with Mercedes on the front foot, but his future with Mercedes is already set for 2025.It’s also difficult to imagine Verstappen losing the first Grand Prix of the year, even though Sergio Perez had some reliability problems during the preseason.
