Red Bull reveals RB8
World Champion Red Bull Racing has revealed its new 2012 RB8 chassis with which it hopes to defend Sebastian Vettel's title. Red Bull has won both the drivers and constructors titles for the past two seasons - last year winning 12 races with the Red Bull-Renault RB7. The new car is similar but features a revised stepped nose and new exhaust layout to comply with the new regulations. Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber are again continue as the drivers this season, but are joined with new reserve driver Sebastien Buemi, who previously raced for the Red Bull-sister team Toro Rosso.
