Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has shared a positive sign about the team’s progress this season. The Milton-Keynes-based team has been on a declining run of form since the Spanish GP earlier this year.
Red Bull started the season in strong form, looking to secure their fourth consecutive constructors’ title. They have, however, been greatly affected by issues with the pace and balance of the RB20. Their lackluster run has helped McLaren take the lead and currently find themselves trailing by 41 points.
Christian Horner has now claimed that Red Bull has found a direction in the car development following the Singapore GP. He stated that the team will now try to make changes with a new approach going forward.
I think we found a direction. Of course, that then opens up how you develop the car from here.

The RB20 appeared to be miles off the pace compared to McLaren’s MCL38 at the Marina Bay circuit. A month-long break before the US Grand Prix will therefore help Red Bull develop more competitive machinery capable of fighting for wins.
Ex-f1 driver urges Red Bull to reallocate resources for the current year instead of 2025
Former world champion Nico Rosberg has shared his thoughts on Red Bull’s performance this season. The Milton-Keynes outfit has been far from dominant despite leading the drivers’ championship this year.
What’s interesting for me is the teams. The teams usually from the end of spring, summer, they start to put almost 100 per cent resources into next year. And with the championship fight going on like that, though, I wonder if Red Bull need to kind of reallocate more resources actually to this year now, and kind of backtrack on that.
Nico Rosberg said on the Sky F1 podcast
Nico Rosberg claimed that most teams usually start working for the upcoming year until after the summer break. He urged Red Bull to backtrack on their future developments in order to work on improving the RB20.
Red Bull has failed to find solutions to make the car more stable around street circuits with kerbs and bumps. While the team appears optimistic around traditional circuits, not a lot can be said about the surety of their outcomes.
