Red Bull launch new RB8 car for 2012


Red Bull launch new RB8 car for 2012

Along with the launch of the new Red Bull RB8 car for 2012 season, Red Bull team boss Christian
Horner vowed to preserve and defend both titles that have been achieved in 2010 and 2011.

Red Bull which won the world title 2010 and 2011, and capable of very dominant in the 2011 season
has been launched new RB8 car which is designed by the genius of Adrian Newey. With the speed of
Red Bull that was unmatched, Sebastian Vettel took the most pole position in a season.

Driving the new car will be the unchanged driver line-up of two-time defending world champion
Sebastian Vettel of Germany and Australia's Mark Webber. Vettel was confident that the team could
repeat their title success.

"We've kept more or less the same chassis shape, but had to drop the nose just in front of the
front bulkhead which, in common with many other teams, has led us to a slightly ugly looking nose.

"We've tried to style it as best we can, but it's not a feature you would choose to put in were
it not for the regulation."

The car appears outwardly similar to last year's all-conquering RB7, which won 12 of 2011's 19
races, but features a revised nose layout and a different exhaust to accommodate this season's
rule changes.

Vettel and Mark Webber continue their driving partnership into a fourth season. Ex-Toro Rosso
racer Sebastien Buemi is now RBR's reserve.
