The soon-to-be-renamed squad started last season on the backfoot, with a car that regularly left its drivers battling near the bottom of the midfield pack.
But an impressive effort to turn things around, which included a major aero revamp and switch to Red Bull’s rear suspension from the Singapore Grand Prix, helped the team become regular points scorers and eventually finish eighth in the constructors' championship.

Beyond plans to forge an ever-closer alliance with sister team Red Bull and take more customer components for this year, technical director Jody Egginton has suggested that the team can enjoy further gains without requiring the intense approach that characterised 2023.
“We want to keep on this trajectory of progress we've been on in the second half of the year,” he told Autosport/Motorsport.com.
“The target is to achieve something similar to what we did in 2020 to 2021. We've been there before, we've done it, and we just need a solid winter and to hit the ground running.
“Then our season can be a little bit... not easy, it's never easy, but a bit more progressive. And we can develop the car in a slightly more structured way.
“[Last] year everyone in the team was flat out trying to get everything to the car as quickly as we can, which is what you want to do in Formula 1.
