There is no doubt about the competitiveness of Red Bull Racing, which is seeking to win the double championship for the third time in a row this season. Instead, the highlight is off the field.
2023 for Red Bull Racing
There is no need to mention the performance of the Red Bull Racing Team in 2023: although it was punished by budget overruns in 2021, the mature RB19 not only allowed the team to successfully defend the title with an overwhelming 21 wins and 5 sprint championships, but Max Verstappen also An unprecedented record of 19 wins completed three consecutive championships.
However, the once-silent high-level internal strife seems to be getting more intense: the group’s board of directors, led by the market faction, not only requires the satellite and training team AlphaTauri to change its name, but team leader Christian Horner was also involved in a power bullying scandal in the off-season.
Red Bull Racing Racing Car of the Year “RB20”
After the Red Bull team joined the competition in 2005, it continued to use the naming pattern of the team name or the group’s abbreviation “RB”. This year’s car, which marks the 20th anniversary of the team this year, was named “RB20”. Although the design leader is still slowly Fade out, but his experience and performance are the first-class technical director Adrian Newey in the field today.
The cars designed by Newey all have a certain degree of continuity, and the RB19 ended its update plan early due to its overwhelming record. The RB20 has also largely adopted a number of update packages originally planned for the RB19, and Newey is very interested in acquiring them. The designs of rivals – especially some of the designs that the Mercedes team failed to challenge – were not compromised by advantages on the track.

Although the Red Bull Racing Team has grown from a mid-range team to a strong force under Horner and will become a full factory team funded by Ford in 2026, this cannot allow him to avoid a series of pressures from the group’s market-oriented board of directors.
Consultant and General Supervisor of the Team: Helmut Marko [2005年上任]
Marko, who will turn 81 in April, is from Graz, Austria. He was once a well-known endurance racing driver.

Outlook for 2024: What’s interesting is off the court?
There is no need to mention the competitiveness of the Red Bull Racing Team. Although this year’s overwhelming results will not be repeated last year, as the leader, the Red Bull Racing Team is still the target of many opponents’ efforts to catch up.
This makes the Red Bull Racing Team’s focus this season likely to be whether the competitive team’s senior management can withstand the heavy pressure from the market-oriented board of directors: the two sides had fought over the Porsche acquisition before the death of founder Dietrich Mateschitz, although the battle was led by The competitive faction won, but the market faction succeeded in getting the competitive faction to compromise and reorganize the satellite team last year, and successively attacked the three giants of the team. It is said that the contract of the Horner team leader, who is currently suffering from power bullying, is linked to Newey. If the three giants are really not worth it, The team was disbanded due to pressure from the board of directors, and perhaps the ecology of the Red Bull Racing Team will change significantly as a result.
