3. Sebastian Vettel
● 2012: Slow to adjust to the blown diffuser-less RB8 and has to
wait until the fourth round in Bahrain to score his first pole
position and race victory of the season. A late-campaign surge
including four consecutive wins helps lift him to a third successive
drivers' title.
● 2011: Totally dominates for Red Bull, becoming youngest double
world champion in F1 history with four rounds to spare. Scores 11
wins and a record 15 pole positions.
●
2010: Despite some driver errors and technical maladies - plus
tense rivalry with team mate Webber - supreme pace brings 10
poles and five victories en route to becoming youngest champion
in F1 history. Comes from third in standings to clinch title with win
at final round in Abu Dhabi.
● 2009: Continues to make the headlines for all the right reasons.

4. ● 2005: Fifth in the Formula
3 Euro Series, declared
best rookie driver after
clinching five podiums.
Enjoys first Formula One
test with BMW Williams at
Jerez.
● 2004: Formula BMW
ADAC champion - finishes
on podium in all 20 races,
taking 18 victories.
● 2003: Claims second
place in the Formula BMW
ADAC championship after
winning five of the 19

5. Mark Webber
●
2012: Bounces back from disappointments of 2011, fitter, more
motivated and much more consistent. Wins in Monaco and
Silverstone make him Red Bull's leading title contender at
season's midway point but second half is not nearly as strong
and he ends the year sixth in the standings.
● 2011: Consistently out-qualified and out-raced by team mate
Vettel, winning just one round (when Vettel hits technical issues)
and finishing third overall, despite Red Bull dominance.
● 2010: Turns around slow start in ultra-quick RB6 with victories in
Spain, Monaco, Britain and Hungary to move ahead of team
mate Vettel and lead standings going into summer break. Loses
out in four-way title showdown at season finale thanks to poor pit
strategy, finishing third overall.
● 2009: Pre-season preparation hampered by broken leg
sustained in winter cycling accident, but form continually

6. ●
2004: Difficult final season with
Jaguar. Scores seven of the
team's ten points. Highlight a
second on the grid in Malaysia.
Signs for Williams for 2005.
● 2003: Cements his reputation
as one of the sport's rising
stars. Takes third on the grid in
Brazil and Hungary and scores
all bar one of Jaguar's 18
points. Tenth in the drivers'
championship.
● 2002: Debut with Minardi.
Dream start as he scores fifth
place in his first ever race. Puts
in impressive performances

7. Red Bull RB9 - hidden brake fluid
cylinders
For the first time in Formula One racing, the two
brake fluid cylinders (shown in the inset picture)
have disappeared from view in the Red Bull RB9.
This is because the team needed to save space in
order to run the vertical ramp and slotted hole that
feature on the top of the nose section. As you can
see in the main picture, the brake fluid cylinders
are now hidden by an S-shaped carbon fibre
cover at the top of the chassis.

8. Red Bull RB9 - passive double DRS
At the final pre-season test in Barcelona, Red Bull
experimented with a passive double drag reduction
system (DDRS). The top red arrow in this drawing
indicates the small inlet duct that - above a certain
speed - feeds airflow up a vertical channel to blow
under the rear wing's main plane. This partially stalls the
wing, leading to a reduction in drag and thus a small
speed increase. Unlike active DDRS (banned in 2013),
the driver has no control over the system, and if it
proves unpredictable he could find himself robbed of
valuable downforce at inappropriate moments - at the
start of a braking phase for example. Until teams get a
proper handle on this behaviour - a long and delicate
process, if testing is anything to go by - no one is likely
to race a passive DDRS, at least in the initial rounds of
2013.

9. Red Bull RB9 - vented nose
Red Bull technical chief Adrian Newey has
followed Sauber's lead by introducing this twin-
duct concept to the RB9's nose section. Air is
sucked from the high-pressure area underneath
the chassis into a duct (red arrow). The air then
travels through the chassis (inset, right) via an s-
shaped duct before exiting out of a hole on the
top of the chassis (inset, left). The increased
airflow on the top surface of the car helps to keep
the airflow coming off the front wing 'attached' and
thus improves airflow further back along the
chassis's surface.

11. Short argumentative essay
Sebastian vettel.
We believe we will win with Sebastian Vettel, Red
Bull Racing, because it has one of the fastest cars in
Formula 1, as it has a great engine, but when it rains
the car runs less.
But with the new cars, in the future, this will be fixed
with the new technologies.
