The Red Bull RB9 was a Formula One racing car built by Red Bull for the 2013 Formula One season. It is the ninth generation of Red Bull car, and the successor to the World Championship winning Red Bull RB8. It was driven by reigning World Drivers’ Champion, Sebastian Vettel, and his Australian team-mate, Mark Webber.

It was launched on February 3 in Milton Keynes, and it was the 7th Red Bull car (of 19 F1 cars in total) designed by Adrian Newey.

Red Bull’s dominance still got on for another year, with Vettel winning the 2013 World Drivers’ Championship title at the Indian Grand Prix, and broke the record for most consecutive wins by a total of 9, from Belgium to Brazil.

The launched car featured a stepped nose with a small vanity panel, after which a small air outlet is hidden. The sidepods were largely the same as the year before while the most effort went into developing the rear end to improve downforce. The team’s Chief Technical Officer, Adrian Newey, also noted that the front wing was strengthened considerably to meet the stricter FIA regulations and that a lot of work was put into optimising the car for the new 2013 Pirelli tyres. More details can be found in the launch technical analysis.

2013 is also the first year for Red Bull Racing with its title sponsor Infiniti. The new 4-year deal sees people from the car manufacturer work at Red Bull Racing’s headquarters at Milton Keynes, with the marque aiming to integrate further team members into the Vehicle Performance department in Milton Keynes. The change is also reflected on the car, with the large Infiniti logo sporting on the sidepods of the car, while purple was added to the livery.
