Max Verstappen’s best lap in the first day of pre-season testing around Bahrain’s Sakhir circuit was not only 1.1s faster than anyone else, but also around 1.5s faster than he went in the equivalent session last year.In other words, Red Bull’s on-track preparations for the new season could be said to have gone well. The Red Bull RB20 was naturally the focus of attention even before it took to the track on account of the world champion team having made an unexpectedly radical update to the most successful F1 car in history. Its bodywork secrets were slowly revealed as the car was finally exposed to the glare of rivals and the lenses of photographers. The narrow horizontal letter-box slit beneath the sidepod top forms part of the radiator inlet area, added to the vertical slot below and the ‘bunny ear’ extensions around the back of the cockpit. The tiny sidepods and their enormous undercut are exactly as shown at the car’s launch.
