Jake Dennis excited for 2024: 'RB20 great in the sim'
- Toby McLuskie
The season is over and all the prizes are officially given away, time to look ahead! So does Formula E world champion Jake Dennis. The Brit, who drove FP1 for Red Bull in Abu Dhabi, has already made minutes in the RB20 for the same team. Albeit virtually, in the simulator.
Speaking at the FIA Prize Giving Gala in Baku, the driver praised last year's car. ‘’Honestly, like, I do all this simulator work with these guys for the past 5 years and Christian Horner gave me a bit of a heads up that I was going to be stepping into the car for FP1. There’s just nothing quite like it, you arrive at these corners at 300 kph and you’re breaking at the 100-metre and you try to brace yourself for the G-force you’re about to experience. There’s nothing that comes close, these cars are like rocket ships.’’ Dennis says when asked what it was like driving in FP1.
RB19 to RB20
The Briton drove not only FP1 but also the post-season test. According to Dennis himself, a great experience: ''Even at the end of Tuesday when I did a full 125 laps it was just immense. The best day of my career that I’ve had. Full credit to these guys for building something so special.'' He also hints at next year: ''This car is insane. Hopefully, the RB20 should be pretty good. It goes pretty good on the simulator, I can confirm. So, we should be good for next year.''
