Perez commends Red Bull for daring to alter F1 car design for 2024
Red Bull’s Ingenious 2024 F1 Challenger Unveiled
The unveiling of Red Bull’s latest F1 challenger for the 2024 season has left many in awe with its innovative design concepts. The team’s bold ideas, particularly around the sidepod and engine cover areas, showcase a unique approach that sets them apart.
Inspired by various elements from different teams, including Mercedes’ bodywork influence with distinctive gulleys running through the top of the engine cover, Red Bull has taken a daring step forward in their pursuit of success.
Despite dominating last year with an impressive record of 21 wins out of 22 races, Red Bull has pushed boundaries further by introducing what Sergio Perez describes as a new “concept” rather than just an evolutionary progression.
Perez expressed slight surprise at seeing resemblances to Mercedes’ design on their new machine but praised the team’s ambition and hunger for advancement. He commended Red Bull for taking such a brave approach in revamping their winning formula from the previous season.
Perez noted improvements in specific areas compared to their efficient RB19 model from last year. He highlighted enhanced performance at low speeds as a significant upgrade but remains cautiously optimistic until they hit the track for real-world testing.
Reflecting on his difficulties during the past season where he faced challenges against teammate Max Verstappen and failed to secure any victories over several rounds, Perez acknowledged areas needing improvement. He emphasized resolving issues without compromising speed or performance enhancements as key priorities moving forward into this season. Determined to regain trust and deliver better results to maintain his position within Red Bull beyond 2025, Perez reassured fans that he anticipates delivering his best performance yet in his upcoming 14th F1 campaign. Despite uncertainties about championship contention against Verstappen or other competitors being on another level altogether, Perez remains focused on striving towards claiming victory ultimately. “`
