Horner delivers update on Red Bull future after 'debate'

Christian Horner has revealed that the team is creating a brand new wind tunnel facility at its base in England.

The team completely dominated the 2023 season, winning 19 of 22 races with Max Verstappen leading 75 percent of the laps across the season as he claimed his third consecutive title.

After such an incredible year, Red Bull will carry the momentum going into 2024. However, due to stable rules, they have less gains to make compared to their rivals as they are higher up in development.

They are also at a disadvantage with the amount of wind tunnel and CFD (computational fluid dynamics simulation) runs they are allowed because of their success – hence why they focused their attention on the RB20 so early last year.

Speaking with the media, Horner lauded the progress made at the campus, which proves the team’s long-term future in the sport.

“The commitment to the campus in the UK is extraordinary,” he said.

“To have a state-of-the-art wind tunnel, something that we debated over the last 19 years, and see where we are at with [Red Bull] Powertrains, to have within a three-year period recruited close to 500 people and built a state-of-the-art facility with our own manufacturing ability – it’s a massive commitment by the shareholders, and it demonstrates their commitment to the longevity, but it also demonstrates that Formula 1 is delivering.”
