    Shot of the rear <ok>

    The exhaust looks like it curves outwards rather than stay straight.

    Love that shot of the rear.

    Im amazed.

    I knew they could make dominant cars but thus far they have all been ugly, now they have a stunner (I don't even notice stepped noses anymore)

    I can't see past the livery, which, for me, detracts from any beauty the car may have. It is, as JC says, too busy; I'd go as far as messy tbh.

    In fact the only cars I've really liked so far are the Ferrari and the Sauber.

    Like it apart from the stepped nose, prefer the look of the McLaren and Ferrari cars

    Well, if the Red Bull hasn't got one, I don't see the vanity panels on the others lasting long!

    Question: "Seb, what are your plans for world domination this year?" Vettel: "I'm German but I didn't say that. I have no moustache."

    Its a shame as i do actually like the purple and blue, its the stripes and the yellow from their logo that ruin it for me. If they'd simplify it a little bit it would look great (nose aside).

    For what it's worth, the released "images" from Red Bull show that the #RB9 has clearly smaller sidepod inlets than its predecessor #F1

    Less drag I guess?

    Less drag and more cleaner air flowing to the rear to aid downforce. A very neat package as would be expected from RBR these days.

    RB8 vs RB9. The RB9 has a longer and thinner nosecone, front wing has bigger wing span and gearbox is longer.
