The Red Bull Racing RB20 is a Formula One car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing and powered by the Honda RBPTH002 power unit to compete in the 2024 Formula One World Championship. The car, which is the successor to the highly successful Red Bull RB19, was unveiled at the team factory in Milton Keynes on 15 February 2024.[2][3][4] The RB20 is currently being driven by defending World Champion Max Verstappen and teammate Sergio Pérez, and made its competitive debut at the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Early-season rounds saw dominant pace, which was confirmed when Red Bull repeated their dominant performances shown throughout the previous year, but as the season progressed, Red Bull and its RB20 found itself pressured and outpaced by rival teams, particularly by McLaren and their MCL38; while the team has since attempted to introduce upgrades and changes to their car to return to their season-opening dominance, the poor performance of Pérez in particular and an uptick of performance from McLaren and Ferrari saw them drop to a lowly third in the Constructors' Championship as of the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix. As of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix, the RB20 has achieved 8 wins (plus 4 sprint wins, the latest being at the United States Grand Prix), 17 podiums, and 8 pole positions – plus 4 sprint pole positions – and it holds 4 fastest laps.
