It was driven by [[Sebastian Vettel]], who drove for Red Bull's sister team [[Scuderia Toro Rosso\|Toro Rosso]] in the [[2008 Formula One season\|2008 season]], and [[Mark Webber (racing driver)\|Mark Webber]]. The car was launched on 9 February 2009 at the [[Circuito de Jerez]] in [[Spain]].<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73185 \|title=Red Bull unveil the RB5 at Jerez Line 47 ⟶ 53: == Technical specifications == [[File:Mark Webber 2009 Turkey.jpg\|thumb\|left\|[[Mark Webber (racing driver)\|Mark Webber]] driving the RB5 at the [[2009 Turkish Grand Prix]].]] New rules in place for the 2009 season required cars to have narrower and higher rear wings and wider and lower front wings, designed to reduce air disturbance to following cars and hence make overtaking easier.<ref>{{cite web Line 137 ⟶ 143: ===Season performance=== [[File:Red Bulls 2009 China.jpg\|left\|thumb\|Vettel leads Webber in the [[2009 Chinese Grand Prix]], en route for Red Bull's first win in Formula One]] Early in the season the car showed huge performance with Vettel taking the first win for the team in [[2009 Chinese Grand Prix\|China]] with Webber in second place giving the team their first 1-2 ever. As the season progressed the car continued to show its pace and by the mid-season its pace had increased to the point where it had overtaken the [[Brawn BGP 001]] as the fastest car on the grid. The car started the season with a narrow needle like nose (as was the common practice for that year.) However, atfor ~~some~~the ~~point during the~~{{F1 ~~year~~GP\|2009\|British}}, the nose was replaced with a flatter wider nose. This design was used by Red Bull for the remainder of the V8 era. == Complete Formula One results == Line 194 ⟶ 201: \|rowspan=3 style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| '''2nd''' \|- \| {{flagicon\|GER}} [[Sebastian ~~Vettel\|~~Vettel]]▼ ~~\| [[Mark Webber\|Webber]]~~ \|style="background:#cfcfff;"\| 12▼ \|style="background:#DFFFDF;"\| 6▼ \|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2▼ \|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| 11▼ \|style="background:#FFDF9F;"\| 3▼ \|style="background:#DFFFDF;"\| 5▼ \|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2▼ \|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2▼ \|style="background:#FFFFBF;"\| '''1'''▼ \|style="background:#FFDF9F;"\| ''3''▼ \|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| 9▼ \|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| 9▼ \|style="background:#EFCFFF;"\| Ret▼ \|style="background:#EFCFFF;"\| Ret▼ \|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| ''17''▼ \|style="background:#FFFFBF;"\| ''1''▼ \|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2▼ \|-▼ ▲\| [[Sebastian Vettel\|Vettel]] \|style="background:#cfcfff;"\| 13{{smallsup\|†}} \|style="background:#cfcfff;"\| 15 Line 231 ⟶ 219: \|style="background:#DFFFDF;"\| 4 \|style="background:#FFFFBF;"\| ''1'' ▲\|- \| {{flagicon\|AUえーゆーS}} [[Mark Webber (racing driver)\|Mark Webber]] ▲\|style="background:#cfcfff;"\| 12 ▲\|style="background:#DFFFDF;"\| 6 ▲\|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2 ▲\|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| 11 ▲\|style="background:#FFDF9F;"\| 3 ▲\|style="background:#DFFFDF;"\| 5 ▲\|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2 ▲\|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2 ▲\|style="background:#FFFFBF;"\| '''1''' ▲\|style="background:#FFDF9F;"\| ''3'' ▲\|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| 9 ▲\|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| 9 ▲\|style="background:#EFCFFF;"\| Ret ▲\|style="background:#EFCFFF;"\| Ret ▲\|style="background:#CFCFFF;"\| ''17'' ▲\|style="background:#FFFFBF;"\| ''1'' ▲\|style="background:#DFDFDF;"\| 2 \|}
