Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the 2024 World Championship-winning Red Bull RB20.
Yep, the car that Max Verstappen will secure his fourth world title in gets pretty much exactly the same livery as last season’s RB19, but the actual design concept is surprisingly radical. Worrying for the rest of the grid when they’re all playing catchup. Although actually, the new look that Adrian Newey and co. have cooked up is strangely similar to Mercedes’ old zero-sidepod design with vertical air inlets at the side of the car (although these have been removed in the official renders you see here). Is this Red Bull trolling?

Heck, the two giant drainpipes on either side of the engine cover are very similar in style to the 2023 Mercedes too, although both these and the RB20’s sidepods do look like they'll serve an impressive aerodynamic purpose.
Of course, things aren’t all rosy at Red Bull right now, though. Sergio Perez’s struggles last season were well documented, and the Mexican finished with less than half the points of his teammate—although that still meant he secured second in the championship. Yawn.
And in more serious news, team principal Christian Horner is currently under investigation after a complaint was made to the Red Bull parent company. More on that as we have it.
