The changes that Red Bull made to its sidepod and engine cover bodywork for 2024 have grabbed a lot of attention, as the team has redefined the design of this region. However, there are other ways the RB20 has evolved when compared to its predecessor too.
That journey begins at the front of the car where among the meaningful changes is a revised nosecone. The tip now sits further forward on the mainplane, rather than on the secondary element (inset, lower right).
Meanwhile, Red Bull has also moved the front wing's flap adjuster from the outboard position that was favoured in 2023 and placed it at the inboard end of the moveable flap section (red arrows).
The location of the adjuster has likely been moved for aerodynamic purposes, with its presence in the outer section of the wing less than ideal in terms of helping to shape the outwash being generated.
