About the Red Bull Racing RB7

Designed under Adrian Newey, the RB7 was driven in 2011 by defending champion Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. It won 12 of the 19 races and took every pole position but one, helped by its innovative but controversial exhaust-blown diffuser, and finished outside the top five only twice. Vettel clinched the Drivers' Championship in Japan and Red Bull secured the Constructors' title the following weekend in Korea. It was the first KERS-equipped car to win the Constructors' Championship, and the first Red Bull with full works Renault partnership status.
