Red Bull is currently under a lot of pressure as the issues with the RB20 has gotten really bad to the point when both championships are at stake.

As the team battles closely with McLaren, they know that failing to make significant improvements this winter could lead to an even tougher season next year.

However, due to cost cap restrictions and the need to prepare for the new rules coming in 2026, when Red Bull will run its own engine, the team has decided not to make any drastic changes in 2025.

On that note, Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner emphasized that in Formula 1, progress must always be made step by step.

“In this business, you're always juggling and you've got to put one foot in front of the other,” he told Motorsport.com.

“You can't project too far into the future. Long term in F1 is about two and a half months and, basically, what we learn this year is relevant to next year.

He also hinted that the RB21 will only be an improved version of this year's RB20.

“So next year's car will be an evolution of this year's car.

“I mean, there's many components of last year's car that have been carried over into this year, because with the way the cost cap works, unless there's significant performance upgrade, it doesn't make sense [to change].”

Since entering Formula 1 in 2005, Red Bull has relied on the same wind tunnel in Bedford, which has contributed to the challenges faced in developing the current RB20.

While construction of a new facility at the Milton Keynes factory has begun, it is not anticipated to be operational until 2026.

“We've got a facility that is a 60-year-old wind tunnel. It is a relic of the Cold War," Horner said.

“It's been good enough to produce some fantastic cars for us over the years. But it has its limitations.

“So anything under five degrees [centigrade], we can't run it. Anything over 25 degrees, it becomes pretty unstable.”

Now, Red Bull is gearing up to unveil a major upgrade package at the United States Grand Prix next week. Reportedly, the team should introduce a new floor and a flexible front wing, similar to McLaren’s design.
