Formula One team Red Bull have presented their new vehicle that will aim to win the F1 title in 2009.
After presenting the new Red Bull RB5 F1 race car, the team, which features Australian Mark Webber, is confident of being the protagonist for most of the F1 championship, which opens on the 29th of March in Australia.
Owner of Red Bull racing, Christian Horner expressed optimism in regards to Red Bull's chances of clinching an F1 title.
"Our team is now ready to take advantage of the new rules installed in the championship," he said.
Horner signalled special phrase for new German driver Sebastian Vettel, who he thinks has a great chance of grasping the title away from the clutches of Briton Lewis Hamilton.
"With these new rules in place, there is absolutely no doubt on why he cannot win the title this year."
Indeed Red Bull will be after a better finish in 2009, after finishing last year in seventh position.
Vettel is confident Red Bull could achieve mass improvement in the F1 season ahead.
"Our objective is to win, but our desire will not waste if we are thrown into tough positions," Vettel said.
"We just have to see how the rest of the competition plays out in comparison to how we perform on the circuit."
Vettel will have the first ride of Red Bull's new RB5 while his team-mate, Webber, will drive the new vehicle on Wednesday.
For Webber, it will be his first drive since he fractured his leg last year while riding a bicycle.
