Adrian Newey launches the first rumors about the new one RB20. The technical director of the Milton Keynes team, who is currently not experiencing an easy situation, is preparing to present his new creation on February 15th. Let's talk about the RB20 which, considering the 2023 season, will be an evolution of the car that he dominated with Verstappen last year.
Newey's fears about the RB20: "I don't know if we were too conservative"
Commenting and giving the first clues about the car, however, Newey did not hide some doubts he has about the RB20, as he believes that in Milton Keynes they may have been too cautious"Last year's car was an evolution of the RB19. We never got down to the weight limit in the 2022 car. We had to figure out what to do with the suspension to try to improve our car. As regards the RB20, however, we are certainly talking about the third evolution of the RB18. We don't know, however, if it wasn't a car too conservative. I'm thinking about it at the moment, but we don't know the answer yet."
Waiting for the track
The British engineer's thought is that the RB20 may be a slightly too conservative car, as will continue to be in the wake of the dominant RB19. Understand how much the new though Red Bull will have an impact on the opponents is quite impossible, also because the progress made by the opponents is not known. Is Classic Mercedes for sale that McLaren, and the same Classic Ferrari for sale, their goal for this season is to try to get as close as possible to Red Bull. Precisely for this reason, there is certainly no shortage of pressure around the Milton Keynes team relating to the new car, but it is yet to be understood whether this year too, considering Verstappen's excessive power (a factor absolutely not to be underestimated), there will be an the only great dominator on the track: Red Bull or, better said, the new creation by Adrian Newey.
