RED BULL RB10

The Renault-powered RB10 is the machine in which Sebastian Vettel will bid for a fifth successive drivers’ title, alongside new team mate Daniel Ricciardo, as Red Bull also aim for a fifth consecutive constructors’ crown.

The Vettel-Red Bull combination dominated last year, winning 13 Grands Prix, including the last nine rounds of the season. Australian Ricciardo joins from sister squad Toro Rosso, replacing compatriot Mark Webber.

The RB10 is the tenth car to be built for F1 competition by Red Bull and is again penned by Adrian Newey. In line with the heavily revised 2014 regulations, it features another unusual nose design with a narrow protruding section at the front. But the biggest challenge, according to Newey, was accommodating the all-new 1.6 litre turbo power unit.
