Red Bull Launches The New RB8

Defending world champions Red Bull Racing have paired up with Sauber in launching their new F1 car at Jerez today. The double title-winning team return with Renault-power once again and will attempt to stretch the successful they are on.

Red Bull’s latest design is arguably the most eagerly anticipated of the season and follows the trend of the stepped nose introduced by all other teams except McLaren. Adrian Newey, the man generally regarded as the key to Red Bull’s recent domination, is again responsible for leading the car’s design.

The 2012 chassis accommodates the new regulation changes but it is apparent to see that the RB8 is an evolution of its predecessor and has still houses some of the 2011 traits.

Sebastien Buemi moves from Toro Rosso to Red Bull Reserve while the time continues with regular drivers Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber.

GO Vettel!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It worries me that everyone has this stepped nose except Mclaren.

 

Looks like red&bull has an air vent or something like that in their nose. Interesting

 

Appears all teams except for mclaren are using that stepped nose design.

 

Very nice! I don't mind the stepped nose

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

well that settles it, Mclaren has the best looking car out there this year.

 

McLaren has been going with the low nose philosophy for years now. I'm sure they know what they're doing.
