Red Bull’s new car for the 2024 Formula 1 season has appeared on track at Silverstone two days before the team’s official launch.
The RB20 was filmed running at the home of the British Grand Prix with Max Verstappen at the wheel. The team appears to be conducting a filming day with its new machine, which will allow them to cover up to 200 kilometres of running.
They are the third different team to run in as many days at Silverstone. Haas shook down their VF-24 at the circuit on Sunday and Aston Martin’s new AMR24 ran for the first time yesterday. The run of debuts will continue tomorrow when Mercedes’ W15 is due to appear at the track as the team holds its launch.
Verstappen and chief technical officer Adrian Newey have indicated the RB20 continues the design philosophy of its successful predecessors. The team has won the constructors championship for the last two years in a row and Verstappen is seeking a fourth consecutive driver’s title.
Red Bull head into the 2024 season seeking to continue one of the most dominant runs ever seen by a Formula 1 team. They won 21 of last year’s 22 grands prix.
However doubt has been cast over their preparations for the upcoming season following the revelation team principal Christian Horner is facing an internal investigation over his conduct. The matter appears unlikely to be resolved ahead of Thursday’s launch at the team’s Milton Keynes base a short distance away from Silverstone.
