Red Bull expects little of the RB22 to carry over to its 2027 F1 car

Red Bull expects very little of the RB22 to carry over into its 2027 successor, the RB23. Technical director Pierre Waché says the team has identified room for improvement in packaging, aerodynamics and mechanical design.

Waché told RacingNews365 that “close to nothing” would transfer, while acknowledging some components will still carry over. The gearbox and chassis will be different, he said. He also mentioned changes to the regulations, limitations on the car and the cost cap. Red Bull is trying to make many new parts, he added.

The plan follows a turnaround for the RB22. After a slow start to 2026, an upgrade in Azerbaijan unlocked more performance from the car, and Max Verstappen went on to win in Sepang and Singapore. Work on the RB23 is already under way; 2027 offers Red Bull an opportunity to take that momentum into the second year of the regulations.
