Straw Poll: Red Bull rising
Now that Red Bull have unveiled the car they hope will finally propel them to victory, Edd Straw reports back from the team's launch in Jerez.
Red Bull took their time creating the new RB5, unveiling it a month after the Ferrari F60 became the first of the 2009 cars to break cover in Italy.
So you might be tempted to ask what difference would another three-quarters of an hour made at yesterday's launch in Jerez? Well a fair bit, in terms of light, as it happens. And the delayed unveiling in the pitlane at least meant that everyone could see the detailing on Red Bull Racing's seventh, and most visually impressive, new car to date.
