The Visa RB cars will be upgraded ahead of the final three rounds of the season, mainly at the rear of the VCARB01, which will feature a number of key components from Red Bull Racing’s RB20 chassis.
We are talking about the components of the rear suspension and the gearbox – now all this will be the same as on the cars of the team from Milton Keynes. Red Bull has taken a similar step to boost RB’s chances in the battle for sixth place in the Constructors’ Championship.
After a double podium in Sao Paulo, Alpine F1 climbed to 6th place in the team standings, now with 49 points; Next are Haas F1 with 46 points and Visa RB with 44 points. With such a small difference, all three teams have something to fight for, their rivalry promises to be very intense, and if the next phase of VCARB01’s modernization has a tangible effect, maybe Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda can make it at the end gain any advantage. the season.
Red Bull took a similar step last year, when the team from Faenza was still called AlphaTauri: it brought cars to the Singapore Grand Prix with the same rear suspension as on the RB19. And this immediately had a positive impact on the results, so it makes perfect sense that they decided to repeat that experience now.
The rules provide for the opportunity for customer teams to purchase a number of components – the list is quite extensive, including suspension elements and a gearbox. This list is included in Appendix 5 to the Technical Regulations, and the process of some ‘assimilation’ of the two Red Bull teams’ cars suggests that the foundation is already being laid on which the VCARB02, the 2025 chassis, will be created. Faenza.
