RB team principal Laurent Mekies said his team and Red Bull looks the least similar when it comes to their F1 cars.
Usual concerns arise about both Red Bull-owned teams and their sharing of information. However, Mekies assures that their VCARB-01 is pretty different from the RB20 when compared to other competitors.
“Our car is not the Red Bull of last year, it simply isn’t, and if anyone feels like analyzing it technically, they will see it,” he told Motorsport.com.
“All our rivals, without exception, tried to find inspiration looking at RB19, so did we, but we know from Formula 1 history that copying is not something usual.
“We see it even today in the paddock, no two cars are identical or even close to being identical or even close to being identical, and I would add that after seeing all the cars in the pitlane I can say that visually ours is among those which look the least like the RB19.
“Nobody from Red Bull is interested in playing around in grey areas of the rules, and fortunately for us the rules are very clear. We share some components that the rules allow, as does half the pitlane.”
