Red Bull
Red Bull finished the 2009 season with the best car, even the guys at Brawn would have said that. They were consistently fast, have great drivers and had the drive and capacity to follow this through all season and if they had designed a double diffuser into the car they probably would have won at least the constructors championship. So what should we expect in 2010?
The team hasn’t had any major changes, with both drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel staying put - why would they want to move?! Mark Webber should be on form from the start this year after his leg injury and will be wanting to reassert himself over his young team mate Vettel. Vettel has another rival on the scene now for top german and another for most promising young german in the forms of Michael Schumacher and Nico Hulkenberg, I don’t think he get lost though as I believe he has the best chance of all three to clinch the title.
They will launch what may be the car of 2010 in February to the world but we’ll have to wait until Bahrain to see if it’s as fast as everyone expects. I think they will be racing Ferrari and McLaren for the title this year and that’s a big ask to go head to head with those two, having said that Red Bull and Brawn made them look silly last year. It will be interesting to see the effect that the refueling ban will have on the teams and how that affects the designs, with Adrian Newey renouned for his tight designs this might just effect his flair, I don’t expect it to make a big difference though.
Expect them to be a the top from the start and fighting for wins all season, anything less is a failure.
