Max Verstappen is happy to be back on track. During the Bahrain test days, the reigning world champion can be found at the track in his new RB20 on Wednesday. The Dutchman explained that Red Bull's new car is a competitive one and that he is excited about the upcoming season.
The 2023 Formula 1 season had many ups and downs for Sergio Perez. Before that season, the Mexican indicated he was going for the world title, but it soon became clear that this was just a step too far. Max Verstappen won the world championship, and Perez had to fight for his second place in the championship. The Mexican is looking forward to the new season, he explained.
The test days in Bahrain, where Max Verstappen is driving his RB20, are in full swing. In a week and a half, the Bahrain Grand Prix will be held, and only then will we really know how Verstappen's and Perez's car is doing. Verstappen reveals to Viaplay that he is not yet concerned with the final results.
Red Bull Racing was forced to come up with some drastic changes when designing the RB20. According to Adrian Newey, the changes were necessary because simply developing the RB19 further would not be enough to hold off the competition.
The team had only revealed a livery, but had not yet shown the car definitively. It has since been done so. Logan Sargeant sent his new FW46 onto the track during the shakedown in Bahrain. Wednesday to Friday are the test days in Bahrain, where Williams will obviously be present.
