Looks good... Both the livery and design. Definitely an improvement in both respects!

Newey was the best investment Red Bull could have made. If you ask me the RB3 is F*cking SEXY!!!  So far it looks like the most revolutionary of all the new cars we have seen.

I cannot disagree Jamie! Every Red Bull car has looked extremely different to be honest. The difference between the RB1 and RB2 was clearly the nosecone - again the nosecone has changed for the RB3 but the slanted sidepods look awesome.

This is just a fantastic looking car, i sincerely hope the results reflect the technical beauty of this car.

Here's a larger picture of the car. To me it looks like the Red Bull sponsored Champ Cars to some extent (The front nosecone really does look Champ Car-ish).

The sidepods kick a##.

Love the new shape, although it's slightly disapointing to see very little change in the way of livery.

Webber's helmet colors even match the colors of the livery... this is going to be a good year for MW fans!  I can see DC retiring at the end of this season!

Definitly more detailed aero, the front wing looks the spitting image of the McLarens.

Nose almost looks like a spoon, and where are the 3,000 winglets and blades that everyone always seems to have? Main body looks great but very ordinary, EDIT, sorry just saw the one on sutton images, that looks lot better.

I think that the nose looks far from a spoon. lol

I agree though, looks very much like an old McLaren, not that that is too suprising.

I'm wondering why he left off the viking wings.  Maybe they will be a part of its "evolution" that Newey keeps talking about.  Otherwise I think he did it just to confuse the other designers. :naughty:

I'm suprised that there isn't a lot more talk about RBR being near the front of the grid.  It's basically a quick Mclaren chassis with a reliable Renault engine, right?  I'm also suspicious of how they are one of the most vibrant, in-your-face teams, yet they are being relativly conservative about season predictions.  The "big-boys" that Horner talks about getting up with "whenever possible"  must be fearful of RBR.

Too me the nose of the RB3 looks alot like the nose of the McLaren MP4-20. It doesnt look anything like the RB2 which is good. I hope its fast.

Nah, Red Bull would have bolted the inters on for an intial slow system checks laps, and also for the photographers to get some nice shots for people like us.

Wow. Fantastic and quite beautiful car! The bargeboards and sidepods are the most revolutionary on the grid! From what I can see, the airflow from the sides of the nose are smoothly directed around the bargeboards then continue in one elegant flow along the sidepods and end up exiting the back. I can't make out what the back looks like, but I would imagine the airflow helps the diffuser by cleaning up the flows.

I simply love the sidepods! With the smaller radiator inlet, I wonder if it gets enough cooling? We'll see, I suppose. Adrien Newey has once again established himself at the sharp-end of the aero-world!

This car looks very sleek with not too many little wings and other small aero devices... I think this is a good move, it gives them a nice clean car that should be pretty quick at the start of the season and be in the front half of the field.  It will also allow them to make huge steps froward throughout the season in terms of down force and keep the momentum of the cars development going.  I am very excited to see where this car is at Melbourne because if its anywhere near the front of the grid then it could be a very interesting season for RBR!

HAHA, just thought about how much money Toyota F1 has spent trying to get to the front of the grid... they should have just offered Newey 50million a year and given him free reign like BRB have done and it would have saved years of grief and wasted money!

Thanks for the back shot, I forgot one of those was already posted! Anyway, look at how the chassis tapers off to a very thin rear. I'm sure the airflow from the side of the sidepods exits there to help the diffuser work better. That car is going to be ultra-stable at the rear!

This is why Newey needed the Renault Engine, this is only possible because of the lower cooling requirements of the Renault.
