Red Bull share launch date for latest F1 challenger ahead of 2024 title defence

Reigning world champions Red Bull have followed swiftly in the footsteps of Mercedes and Alpine by confirming the launch date for their 2024 challenger.

Red Bull are preparing for their 20th season in Formula 1, having debuted back in 2005, and will show off the car they will use to contest it on February 15.

Following F1’s move to ground effect regulations in 2022, Red Bull have dominated proceedings to rack up both the drivers’ and constructors’ titles for the last two seasons.

It was a particularly commanding display from the Milton Keynes squad last year, who won 21 out of 22 races, with Max Verstappen taking 19 of those.

Verstappen will be pushing to make it four drivers’ crowns on the bounce in 2024, having also claimed the 2021 title after a fierce battle with Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton, while team mate Sergio Perez is looking to build on a personal best P2 in the standings.
