Red Bull Racing is probably the most stable team on the grid this year. With the exception of new FIA rules and regulations, nothing else has changed within the team. Last season Red Bull was one of the teams embroiled in the “Double Diffuser” row and also became one of the teams to give Brawn a run for its money. Red Bull did have some problems with engine reliability which may have led to the loss of winning the championship. The new RB6 has been launched and a brief summary with photos follows:
