About the Red Bull Racing RB2
The RB2 was Red Bull Racing's 2006 car, designed by Mark Smith, Rob Taylor and Ben Agathangelou and powered by customer Ferrari V8 engines. Cooling problems with the new engine limited pre-season testing, and the team spent most of the year in the midfield, abandoning development so that newly arrived Adrian Newey could focus on the 2007 car. David Coulthard scored the team's first podium at Monaco, and Christian Klien was replaced by Robert Doornbos after the Italian Grand Prix. Red Bull finished seventh in the Constructors' Championship with 16 points.
