Webber: This car is a limousine
Quote:
Red Bull driver Mark Webber is excited about the potential of the team's latest car.
After finishing second in the Constructors' Championship last season, Red Bull are aiming to go one better in 2010 with the Adrian Newey-designed RB6.
"This car is a limousine," Webber joked ahead of the start of Formula One's second official testing session in Jerez on Wednesday.
"We had only small aerodynamic changes so we didn't go crazy.
"It shows how clever Adrian Newey is that a lot of people copied our car (last year)."
Webber said he would reap the benefits of being fully fit for this season after a broken leg upset his build-up last year.
Red Bull are the last of the existing teams to unveil their 2010 challenger, having missed the first testing session in Valencia last week to have extra time to work on the car.
"Basically we felt there was more to be gained off the track," team principal Christian Horner said.
"We set ourselves aggressive targets. We kept our heads down over the winter. We kept working on our concepts and Adrian has come up with a new, very good car.
"I think there are four race-winning teams: McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes and us," added Horner, who had considered switching to a Mercedes engine before sticking with Renault.
