Re: The Official Red Bull Racing thread

PS: Are RBR paying for engines or do they get them free? Apparently the Infinity & Total sponsorships more than cover the cost of the engine supply. Both sponsors will be missing from the Red Bull next year according to People Who Know™. Renault have done a poor job since the beginning of the new P...

Re: Australian TV coverage

Seems that if you want to watch any meaningful season of sport in Australia now Foxtel is the only way to access it. It's been a long time since I have watched more than a few games of NRL or AFL, as my teams are not the FTA audience attractors that the commercial TV players want. So reluctantly I w...

Re: Another huge Sao Paulo crash for Mark Webber

Any word yet on how the accident occurred?

It didn't seem like the Ferrari was involved in contact with the Porsche prior to the crash.

Re: The Official NICO ROSBERG thread

Rosbergs 'switch mistake' is the equivalent of Webbers Korea spin in the wet during the 2010 season.

He has missed his one & only chance to be WDC.

Re: The Official Daniel Ricciardo Thread

His one and only real opportunity in the race and he took it. Can't ask for much more than that.

In fact it could be the only opportunity this season to get a win.

Cometh the moment, cometh the man, Dan.

Or as MB seems to like calling him Danni Ricci.

Well done Dan, the first of many I hope.

Re: RedBull Racing RB10 Thread

Does that nose get low enough? Could be an optical illusion but it seem higher than all the other designs. Or is this an interesting interpretation of the regulations? There's a bit painted black at the end that's hard to spot in these pics at a glance. That bit goes lower. http://www.motorsport-to...

Re: Ricciardo on track for a Podium?

Yep, he got screwed, and not for the first time this year. Ric & JEV will never get the results they are needing if the pit wall continues to manage their weekends in this manner. I think Ricciardo has shown enough to suggest he is a realistic option of stepping up to the top team and making a good ...

Re: Mark, you've made us proud...

Great weekend for the old guys.

Re: Next year's strongest line-up?

If the hoped for changes come to pass the Vet/Rai, Alo/Web, Ros/Ham, pairings would be the most even in years.

But the one question that hasn't been asked is, "What does Bernie want?"

As we all know, Bernie finds a way to get what he wants.

Re: Webber signed by Redbull for 2013

So... there was some guy on here who proclaimed to have a very close relationship with MW and was eager to tell everyone that he was signed up for Ferrari.

I wonder if this fellow will ever make a return?

Re: Mark Webber VS Seb Vettel

I am worried however that if Mark annouces he is leaving the team.. that they will make it as hard as possible for him to win the WDC no matter his dominance over Seb. That's the one thing I feel will make the difference. They will be neck & neck all year, but if Webber has not committed to RB, the...
