Red Bull RB4

Ay Ay Ay!

That team's engine and gear box are cursed or something

on first sight i couldn't see many massive changes but looking at it on track it is quite different.

Looks like last years car, with some F2007 (chimneys and sidepod winglets) wnet back to the old RB3 mirrors, and the frontwing looks like the RB2 with alot less center dip.

It's the first complete Newey design for RBR. This one is his from nose to tail, and designed specifically around the Renault powerplant. He came on too late to alter last years machine substantially.

BTW, from this view the car looks very different to me, especially around the sidepod intakes:





And regarding Webber, how much longer before he winds up in V8 Supercars or DTM like Ralf?

Sexy car

Re Webber: To be fair- it seems when he's in a decent position the car generally blows up. He had it at Jag, Williams and at RBR. Undoubtedly qualy is his strength but he has put in some great drives that have gone unrewarded. He's also made mistakes too though.

Hopefully the RB4 will be bullet proof and he's regularly in the points, and might even sneak a podium or two!

But to answer your question- I reckon he'll be in an HRT Commodore by 2012

Webber's done a good job at any team he's been at, just he's always been plagued with bad luck, Klien was the same before him.

I really do hope this car is a good one. This team hasn't had a good car since Stewart really, they've never reached the same heights.

Webbers prob is he is impatient! Us bloody Aussies are always like that! haha
He needs to stay at RB, even if they have another @#$%& year, he needs to work with the team and developing the car... Ferrari in 94-95-96 werent too crash, but Schumi made it work. Im not saying Webber is Schumi quality, but they could be in a good pos come 09-2010.

And I hope he retires completely before going to V8's.. what an upsetting moment that'd be.

thats probably the best lloking car this year and probably the last few years since the 04 williams and 04 mclaren. lets hope they get reliable this year.
Webber for the championship.

When the European part of the season kicks off Toro Rosso will get their car.

Torro Rosso surely will launch their car (livery) b4 the season.. I hope they are quiet diff than the last 2 years, as with Reb Bull they can do so much with the paint!

haha to join the crazy engine cover cars is now the redbull rb4.

Horrible, isn't it? This stuff seems to give the caar more stability while braking... but it's not very nice to see!

I like the F1.com caption for their article on that engine cover, "Red Bull gives you fins".

:S
