F1 Defending Champions Red Bull Introduces New RB20 Contender

Formula 1 reigning champions Red Bull Racing presented its new contender for the 2024 season, the RB20, at the Red Bull Technology Campus in Milton Keynes on Thursday.

The Formula One World Championship met on Thursday, Oracle Red Bull Racing’s newest challenger, the RB20, making an impression with its aggressive aerodynamic concept while boasting its classic navy blue color.
