Red Bull launch their 2010 crusader
Last years Red Bull very nearly won the world championship, if they had started the year with a double diffuser and Sebastien Vettel hadn’t been quite so hot headed then they would have won the championship, it’s that simple.
Therefore this years can is going to have to go one better to satisfy everyone and that can only be at the expense of teams such as Ferrari and McLaren which doesn’t happen that often, I think last year may have been their best hope.
That said they have Adrian Newey who has designed some amazing cars and this looks like one of them. The Red Bull livery makes it hard to discern the detail but there’s no reason to believe that they won’t have built a fast car – unless they spent all their efforts on last years car and this one has been built in the last four months. It’s possible that they may have suffered due to their success – I guess the depth of their engineering department has yet to be shown.
With Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber at the helm they have the most stable partnership out there and now that Mark Webber is back to full fitness perhaps he can improve his stats against the young Vettel this year.
Title contenders until proven otherwise and that might not be until the end of the first GP so watch this rather heavily sponsored space.
