Horner: “2024 cars will be Red Bull clones, differences will be closed”
Red Bull Racing director Christian Horner says things will get more difficult for his team in Formula 1 from now on as their rivals will follow the RB20’s design philosophy and it will offer less and less room for development.
The Milton Keynes club had the luxury of settling on the RB20 2024 design very early this year given the way the 2023 league played out. Single-seaters are getting smaller as other teams make leaps and bounds in adopting the ideas of the RB19, which won 21 of the 22 GPs of the 2023 season.
Speaking about the new RB20, Horner said it will be an “evolution rather than a revolution” compared to the RB19. “All areas of the car have been modifiedand we cannot afford to be complacent. The car is the further development of the central theme. We are not reinventing the wheel, that has largely been the technical path we have taken over the last 12 months.”he added.
The Brit said that the performance differences between the teams’ cars would narrow in 2024, justifying this by saying: “Regulations remain stable and we have reached the top of the curve [απόδοσης] earlier than others, hence the advantages [από την εξέλιξη του αυτοκινήτου] will be limited for us. This will cause the teams’ performance to plummet.
There’s always a reboot next year, and I’m sure you’ll see a lot more cars that probably resemble his philosophy. RB19. If you stagnate in this work, you tend to fall behind. But for us now the advantages [της εξέλιξης του αυτοκινήτου] are minimized”.
Finally, Horner also addressed the downside of the limited time in the wind tunnel for Red Bull. The duration of use of the wind tunnel is staggered each year and depends on the ranking of the previous league: the champion has the fewest and the lowest team has the most.
“Due to the lack of more time in the wind tunnel even though we made the transition early [στο μονοθέσιο του 2024]We had limited time in training compared to most of our opponents. So we were very picky and selective about how we used this time RB20, who will obviously rely on her strengths RB19“explained Horner.

There are growing rumors in the paddock that Red Bull is preparing to make a radical change to the livery of its car for the first time since 2015.
Ten years ago the Austrians created a design that they use today almost unchanged, with minor adjustments to the layout of elements and changes to the composition of sponsors.
According to multiple sources, the team decided to finally update its look, going back closer in spirit to the first look, inspired by the design of Red Bull energy drink cans. The team itself is already talking about this design on social networks and periodically directs its fans to it.
Let’s remember that the team was supposed to present its new uniform on January 15 at an event in the USA where Ford will also show off the design of the youth team. Due to the difference in time zones, the live broadcast of the event will start at 05:00 Kyiv time.
If Red Bull finally brings back chrome for the 2026 livery 👀

Red Bull Ford seems to have decided to slow down with one of the most radical technical solutions on the eve of the start of the new regulations. The concept in question is an engine concept with an extreme 1:18 compression ratio, which is seen as a potential loophole in the regulations.
According to information received from the paddock, this configuration is not planned to be used in tests in Barcelona. The reason is quite ordinary; The risk level is very high. Although engineers expected a noticeable increase in power, at the same time serious doubts were raised about the stability of the engine in racing conditions.
The team fears that relying on aggressive architecture could lead to a wave of power unit failures early in the season. Therefore, the version that Red Bull Ford is ready to move away from this idea altogether, preferring a more balanced and predictable solution, is now increasingly heard.

In Formula 1, the 2026 season will start a new technical era in the championship. The teams are preparing for radically changing regulations that will deliver a different car concept, updated aerodynamics and new generation power plants. This is the beginning of such rules, which often becomes a decisive moment not only for sporting results, but also for strategic decisions within teams.
2026 could be a decisive year for Ferrari. After several seasons in which the team regularly lost momentum due to mechanical limitations, Maranello decided to change its approach to the basic concept of the car.
Against this background, Charles Leclerc’s words are becoming increasingly important, according to the Italian publication autoracer.it. The Monegasque openly admitted that the start of the 2026 season will be decisive for his future at Ferrari. According to him, if the team cannot compete at a high level once again, this could put an end to its history of cooperation with Maranello.
Separately, the futures of Lewis Hamilton and team leader Frederic Vasseur are also in danger. For the seven-time world champion, 2026 could be a chance to highlight a new generation of cars that will better suit his driving style.
