The Red Bull RB9 is a racing car designed by reigning World Constructors' Champion Formula One racing team Infiniti Red Bull Racing.[6][7] The car will be driven throughout the 2013 Formula One season by three-time World Drivers' Champion Sebastian Vettel and team-mate Mark Webber.[4][5]
Competition history
In January 2013, Newey admitted that development of the RB9 chassis had been put on hold during the second half of the 2012 season so that the team could concentrate on developing its predecessor, the RB8, in order to secure the 2012 World Drivers' and Constructors' Championship titles.[6]
The RB9 had a strong debut in Australia, with Vettel topping the timesheets in FP1[8] and FP2[9] and Vettel and Webber locking out the front row in qualifying.[10] However, Webber's race was hampered by a poor start and Vettel's by tyre degradation, and Vettel and Webber went on to finish 3rd and 6th, respectively, to place Red Bull 3rd in the constructors' championship.[11]
