Red Bull Racing has unveiled today at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit near Valencia, Spain, the new Red Bull 2011 F1 car called the RB7. As you probably have expected the livery of the Red Bull 2011 F1 car has not changed much from last year, nor did the driver, who will continue to be 2010 World Champion Sebastian Vettel and his team mate, the Australian Mark Webber.
The Red Bull 2011 F1 car features the same high nose as all the others racers that will compete in the 2011 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, together with a new rear wing and of course, KERS.
This year, the Red Bull 2011 F1 car will wear a few other sponsors' badges, including Total,
Rauch, Pepe Jeans, Casio, Singha Beer, FXDD, Geox, Pirelli, Alpinestars, Platform Computing and Siemens.
Christian Horner commented: ” It’s a great feeling to arrive here and roll out the car with the number one on it as the reigning World Champions, but now the challenge is to keep it. The team’s been very focused on RB7 over the last few months; Adrian didn’t release his drawings any earlier than normal, so the whole design group and production team have done a remarkable job to produce
this car in the shortest possible time. It’s a long season, the longest in F1 history, and we have some great opponents, but we are very motivated and will be working hard to hold on to the two world titles. I’m sure it’s going to be a fascinating battle.”
Adrian Newey said: “It’s always a special moment when a car runs for the first time. The big challenge for us this year was the reintroduction of the KERS system. It’s always a challenge to find solutions, which don’t compromise the aerodynamics of the car. This season, with McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes all having KERS,
we need to get it to work, simply for performance off the line.”
