Escudería of F1 Red Bull has presented/displayed in the Circuit de Catalonia the flaming model RB3 with which it will compete in the championship of the world of Formula 1 2007. The new single-seater completely has been designed by the Briton Adrian Newey, who previously had been in escudería McLaren. The RB3 has certain reminiscences, even many, of the McLaren cars of past seasons.
“A clear example that it illustrates how much has changed Formula 1 in the last decade is that when I arrived at McLaren the 1 from August from 1997 the new car was ready in February of 1998. On the contrary, I arrived at Red Bull in January of 2006 and is now when we finished removing the single-seater from the factory. That reflected high level of investigation that exists nowadays in Formula 1 in comparison with does nine or ten years back”, Newey engineer commented.
“With respect to the RB3, we could not begin the tests in wind tunnel until June of 2006, when the temperatures more were lifted than really we wanted. That caused that very we were occupied before giving to the dates keys of exit of the monocoque and the gear box. On the other hand, that has not had anything to do with the uncertainty on the motor that we would use this year. Concerning the election of motor, the majority of the V8 is quite similar in their installation, so a great difference in the design philosophy does not exist that is applied following the motor.”
“The time of design been has influenced because the equipment is trying to do something different for the 2007, as well as the necessity to order a new wind tunnel in Bedford. All the developments of the new single-seater have been carried out in the facilities of Bedford, that finished constructing when we began to work in the new car. We made verifications of systems in the wind tunnel of Bedford with the RB2 before beginning with the new model.”
The RB3 will be impelled by “the same” motor that equips to the Renault cars this season, the RS27. Of this Red Bull form it changes by third consecutive year his impelling plant, of Cosworth to Ferrari, and Ferrari to Renault. The Italian motors however were yielded to the equipment also property of Red Bull, Scuderia Toro Rosso.
With regard to conductors 2007, besides the Briton David Coulthard, who undertakes his third season with the equipment, the Australian Mark Webber gets up itself, coming from Williams, whereas the pilots of tests are the Dutch Robert Doornbos and the German Michael Ammermuller, who the past year ran in category GP2 and rolled for Red Bull Fridays in the last Great Prizes.
“The past year I passed it very well to me with the Red Bull family and in the three races in which I competed I demonstrated what I am worth”, Doornbos said. “In addition, I could be witness of the limitless ambitions of the equipment and his determination to achieve its objectives”.
“It is no wonder year wants to continue being part of the east equipment”, it added. “If the single-seater demonstrates to be as fast as it seems that it is, I believe that we will have a great year”.
The people in charge of the equipment have said that the objective is “to be regularly in the points and to raise podio from time to time, and to finish between the five first in the world-wide one of marks”.
