Red Bull Racing has been at the forefront of excitement with the launch of their RB20. The car's departure from last year's design, incorporating elements reminiscent of Mercedes, notably the sidepod inlets and engine cover gulleys, has piqued the interest of fans and analysts alike.
The RB20's nose and front wing that have caught the attention of Ted Kravitz, Sky's seasoned pit lane reporter. At the car's unveiling, a peculiar feature on the nosecone—an additional strip secured by four screws—sparked speculation. Kravitz, observing the car in the pit lane during the first day of pre-season testing, noted the anticipation for a change that never came. Kravitz commented:
“Just below that sticker which says Red Bull Racing [on the nose], everyone was expecting that panel of carbon fibre to be a trick and to be removed.
“And for there to be just a join between the nose and that second main plane on the front wing.
“Well not so. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not there, it’s just they haven’t actually shown us what the real nose looks like.
“If the real nose does look like that going into the race in a week’s time, I’ll be surprised but nothing’s impossible.”
