RedBull RB3
The Renault-engined Newey machine will be launched in Barcelona today. (Spain seems to be popular for such launches, doesn't it?)
I'm not going to predict any livery change, but its decent so I don't mind about that.
I'm sure it'll go like schtick compared to last years car, but in terms of how fast that is in comparison to the 2007 grid, I'm not sure of how fast it will be.
It is a widely anticipated design so I'm sure it will impress, so on that basis I will predict top 5.
But everyone knows about these pre-season predictions, they're all just crap until you get to Round One of the season.
Predictions/Pictures here please! (Man I'm getting deja vu)

Lets hope they do something different from what they usually do with the livery...it's a bland and boring car...and they have such a good base to work with...even the Toro Rosso cars look better...

The sidepod design (like on other cars) makes a right old mess of the sponsors logo.
The car looks ok though. Newey rarely gets it wrong, and with Renault power it should be a good year for the team.

typed my post at the same time as Giuseppe...
Again a very bland livery for the Red Bull guys...
oh well...at least the car looks good...not sure about those mirrors though...or the exhaust chimneys...It doesnt look as sculptured around that area like the others that have been released..

I like the Livery, even if it is only marginally better than last year's!
I particularly like the increased prescence of those stripes down the side of the car.
The car looks very sleek compared to the other cars released thus far. Looking at the nose it looks to me like they've gone skinny-nosed as well, a la McLaren and Honda. We'll see whether this is a good or bad thing as the year progresses.
Overalls are rather unspectacular, I do say! I much prefered last year's overalls which were very nice.
I was expecting a more "Red Bull"-esque launch but it doesn't really matter in the grand scale of things.
On a side note, Coulthard looks pretty old in those photos!
Hope for a good year for the RBR team!

race overalls are indeed quite dissapointing.. last years looked so slick!
as for the car, i think it looks to be the most derivitive design released so far. All the other cars have thousands of winglets and air directors all over the side pods on the cars and additional elements on the front wings whereas the RB3 has none of this.... good for straight line speed no doubt about that! But you wonder if they will be generating as much downforce as the other cars...
the front suspension tho looks a little bit more innovative, particularly in the way the lower suspension arms attach to the front structure

Yes it is. Three events this year and already two accidents. No way that everything is ok with Kalle. He was too tired of rallying at the enf of the last year and still was forced to continue part...
