Red Bull Racing will carry out a shakedown of the 2024 F1 machine “RB20”. Christian Horner, who is currently under investigation for allegedly “inappropriate behavior” towards a female employee, was also reportedly present. Red Bull Racing announced the announcement of the 2024 F1 machine “RB20” on February 15th (Thursday), but two days before that, the team moved to the Silverstone Circuit and conducted a shakedown of the RB20.
In a video posted on social media, Max Verstappen can be seen driving the number 1 RB20, as well as David Coulthard in the cockpit of the RB1. Team representative Christian Horner was also present. Horner was questioned by Red Bull’s lawyers over allegations of “inappropriate behavior” towards a female employee, with the first inconclusive inquiry held in London last Friday. Horner, who is rumored to be sacked as team principal if found guilty, appeared at Silverstone for the RB20 shakedown on Tuesday 13th and is expected to take part in Thursday’s presentation. He also said that the report into the investigation into Horner might take several weeks to complete, and he is likely to take charge of the team following pre-season testing and the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, while today’s RB20 The shakedown is only a “launch version” and the actual changes to the car will be unveiled in Bahrain. Still, following the engine fire-up, completing the shakedown of the new car on the circuit can be seen as a positive sign for full-scale pre-season testing.
