Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20
Verstappen's fourth-title chassis — and Adrian Newey's last Red Bull
Red Bull Racing unveiled the RB20 on 15 February 2024 at the team's Milton Keynes factory, and ran it on track at the Bahrain pre-season test eight days later. It was the direct successor to the RB19 — the car that won 21 of 22 races in 2023 — and carried over much of that aerodynamic philosophy under Adrian Newey's signature, with Pierre Waché continuing as the team's Technical Director. The power unit was the Honda RBPTH002, a 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrid built by Honda Racing Corporation and producing approximately 1,021 horsepower combined.
The 2024 season started the way Red Bull's 2023 season had ended — Verstappen won seven of the first ten Grands Prix, including back-to-back victories at Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Japan, China, Imola, Canada and Spain. After Spain, the car's clear performance advantage faded. McLaren and Ferrari closed in. Verstappen would win only twice more all year — São Paulo (a wet-weather drive from 17th on the grid that's already entered Verstappen lore) and Qatar — but it was enough. He sealed his fourth consecutive drivers' championship at Las Vegas with two rounds remaining, finishing the year on 437 points.
Sergio Pérez had a different season. The Mexican driver scored 152 points to Verstappen's 437, and Red Bull lost the constructors' championship to McLaren by 14 points — their first constructors' title surrender since 2021. In December 2024, Red Bull announced that Pérez would leave the team "with immediate effect," four years after he joined. He was replaced for 2025 by Liam Lawson, who had been the team's reserve driver and had completed six races for sister team RB the previous season.
Around the on-track decline, the team itself was changing shape. In February 2024, an internal Red Bull GmbH investigation cleared team principal Christian Horner of allegations brought by a female employee. In May, Adrian Newey announced he would leave Red Bull in early 2025 — ending a 19-season tenure that included every Red Bull championship — and was subsequently signed by Aston Martin as Managing Technical Partner. The RB20 is therefore the last car Newey will be remembered for at Red Bull, which is the framing LEGO® has leaned into in its product copy.
