The Red Bull RB10 is a Formula One racing car designed by Adrian Newey for defending world champions Infiniti Red Bull Racing to compete in the 2014 Formula One season.[5][6] It was driven by reigning World Drivers' Champion Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, who was promoted from junior team Scuderia Toro Rosso after Mark Webber announced his retirement from the sport at the end of the 2013 season.[3][4] The RB10 was designed to use Renault Sport's new 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged engine, the Renault Energy F1-2014.[7]
The car was launched on 28 January 2014 at the Circuito de Jerez.[8] Keeping with the tradition of naming his race cars, world champion, Sebastian Vettel named the RB10 as "Suzie".[9]
