    Reigning world champions Red Bull have announced that their new car, the Renault-powered RB9, will be unveiled on February 3. The launch will take place in the team’s UK hometown of Milton Keynes, two days before pre-season testing begins at Jerez in Spain.

    Red Bull, who have won three consecutive drivers’ and constructors’ titles, will field an unchanged driver line-up of triple world champion Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber for their 2013 campaign.

    Ah, the red bull launch, or as it's also known "Let's see what the FIA can ban off this car before the season starts"

    Wouldn't get my hopes up; The McLaren was supposed to retro white and red apparently (but everyone says that every year ;))

    What I would love though, is not as much TOTAL red on the rear wings. For some reason that annoys the heck out of me, looked nicer when there was a Red Bull can on there.

    EDIT: That may be the weirdest video I've ever seen on YouTube <laugh>

    I'm sure whatever they announce will break the rules in an unsporting way, but the FIA will be lenient and let them accumulate ridiculous levels of points before banning it <whistle>

    I'm just left to hope that their use of DRS and exhaust gases etc has minimal advantage this year. I think Seb is a worthy triple world champion, but I'd prefer it if his car didn't seem like it was on rails all year.

    He's crazy, but he gets news FAR faster than Sky, Autosport, BBC ever do.

    They are the least likely team to have a livery change, would be great though.

    Not so after the Infiniti sponsor deal, their trademark colour is purple http://www.infiniti.co.uk/

    It could be one of those dual colours that change depending on the angle <ok>

    Hopefully this is Newey's latest F1 design... might give the others a chance. Although I'm sure those covered wheels are illegal <whistle>
