We have two very young and skilled drivers this season that we look forward to finishing up front with. We are already leading the series points with Brook and Matt is sitting closely in third.

Honestly I am starting to suffer from "Red Bull Racing fatigue"... its getting really boring now.... nothing exciting, they only sponsor average drivers (with boring looking helmets) in average cars...(with boring liveries)
:yawn:

Things must be bad if Red Bull feel BB is populated by movers and shakers, opinion makers or dollar spenders. We're all anoraks in here.

I am Dietrich Mateschitz.
And I am very displeased.
Needless to say, we won't be seeing the one you know as 'BMW Sauber RedBull' around here anymore. I have arranged him a test flight on my new Adrian Newey-designed light aircraft. And it will be flying into some particularly dense clouds.
