Red Bull says the bold design revamp with its RB20 was the “last big roll of the dice” for the current ground effect rules in Formula 1.

“It’s just whether you say a bigger change for next year is viable, realistic, financially achievable and do we have the resources to do it? That we’ll find out.” Monaghan said that early analysis of the RB20 had indicated that there remained plenty of scope to make it better, which will make the challenge for its rivals to catch up so much harder. “At the moment gains are still there,” he said. “Magnitude wise at the moment we can find similar gains to last year.
