Another that I look forward to and another with substantial resources to make significant gains. Though I don't expect very little aesthetic change.

So your expecting huge aesthetic changes, radical changes if you will?

No. The issue for the RB3, was its reliability and there would be no doubt much of the focus on the RB4 would have been placed on resolving these issues. With that said you would never sacrifice aero development, but I 'won't' expect drastic changes aesthetically. There will be changes to comply with the new instilled regulations, but I expect to hear more mechanical developments.

yes true that the reliability of the RB3 was its achilles heel, but with the addition of Geoff Willis in the team im sure that he can guide the team in the direction of a more consistent reliable car, But on the other hand you've got a guy like Adrian Newey who has a brilliant Aero mind and im sure he will have he's say on the new car also..... with all of this said im expecting a more solid overall look to the car, much like the new BMW with the larger front wing and engine cover

imagine the points the RB3 could have score in 07 if it had perfect reliability!

So sad to see hope up so high.

Why? I don't have high hopes for it either, but I don't see it as sad for others to have hope

[Rainmaster]

I hope it's reliable.

That's all I've got to say at present.

[JayStorm]

Ditto. And that would really get the up the table a couple more places perhaps.

Expecting the livery to be very similar if not the same also.

[bathurst1000]

Not long now!!!!   what can RED BULL produce to challenge the superpowers or Ferrai and McLaren???? in 4-5 hours we will know!

[Sato]

Really, 4 hours? They launching at 8am? (Unless I've got the wrong conversion of time going, which is likely.)

Well i herd they launch at 9am in jerez and that would make it 7pm East coast Aussie time, so i think you might have been off by an hour with your conversion

Yeah the difference might be the daylight savings.

The RB4 will launch early then test in the hands of David.

Fingers crossed for a quick, reliable RB4.

Mark deserves it. David deserves it, especially in what could well be his last year.

Remember for Queensland you must add 1 hour and then subtract about 100 years.
