Red Bull's Mysterious Little Air Vent

The teams seem to be working hard to hide the secret parts of their new F1 cars but that did not stop some curious photographers from getting closer shots of Red Bull's mysterious little air vent. It could be not that mysterious... But our passion for this sport makes us thirsty for details!

Could it be the key element of the new RB8's design? Adrian Newey admitted that last year, they built their car around the exhaust position. This year, with the blown diffuser solution banned, the world champions might want to find another trick that'll make their car the fastest on the grid.

VIDEO: The RB8 Revealed! (UPDATE)

I guess we'll have to wait a little bit more to get a clearer view of the RB8. One thing is sure however, the car does feature the same stepped nose solution as the other teams, though it looks to be smoother and more elegant just like they have predicted..

Polyphony digital, the company behind the Gran Turismo series, is no stranger to cooperating with car manufacturers and racing teams. Some of the most noticeable accomplishements by Kazunori Yamauchi's team are the dashboard display graphics for the R35 Nissan GT-R and designing the famous GT By Citroën supercar concept in cooperation with the French automaker. Now it's time for Adrian Newey's X1 Prototype to take shape in the real world. There is no word if they will actually build a working model of Newey's dream racer as the car you are seeing above is just a model. However, it's a good step towards making this car a reality. And if you want to see it in the flesh, the model will be unveiled to the public at the official GT5 Launch Party in Madrid.

The car was apparently struggling for grip in the non paved areas. Clearly, some work needs to be done on the chassis.

Maybe next year!

The 2010 Formula One World Championship contenders

With the unveiling of the long awated lotus T127 with its beautiful classic Lotus Racing livery, the 2010 formula One grid began to show up with already 22 cars ready to go in Bahrain. This is surely one of the most anticipated Formula One seasons since 2000. With a mixture of young talents and old veterans as well as four new teams and a returning seven times world champion willing to take the the crown again, it is going to be a very interesting battle.

After seing the Brawn GP team come out from the ashes of the former Honda F1 team to make the surprise and take both crowns in 2009, this year we have more favourites than any other season in modern F1.

It is also believed that banning refueling will make races more exciting and will allow more actual overtaking on the track. So now we have fuel tanks that can carry up to 250 liters. This lead to a slightly different design of the cars especially when it comes to the wheel base which is now a little bit longer.

No more talking, now let's have a look at the 2010 championship contenders!
