^ We shall see,,, the redbulls have been quicker this year in straight line speed then I can ever remember. In past years the merc would have walked away from vettel on the kamel straight even with vettels speed through eau rouge. Ferarri should be strong as well as force india traditionaly.

So stoked for the race this week. I don't think Seb is gonna run away from the field like last race due to the lack of top speed of the RB cars. Should be interesting to see him and Alonso dicing it up.

Not necessarily, but it sure would have thrown into doubt having a junior team to groom drivers for RBR.

I guess only logical choice was a bit strong but I do think it makes a lot of sense.

It was the only logical choice.

How do you say Multi21 in Australian again?

[Roysneon]

It was the only logical choice. Honestly all the Kimi and Alonso rumors were pretty silly. Maybe the Kimi ones less so but seriously two #1 drivers on a team isn't a viable way to run things in today's sport. Would be cool to see though.

And, Ricciardo goes to Infiniti Red Bull!

Well that didn't quite go as expected what did they say about Kimi's brake problems?

Tear off in the brake duct, they pulled it out at the first pit stop, but the damage had already been done.

The carbon brakes aren't supposed to glow red the way they were in the heavy braking zones.

Perhaps, but when others are penalized for the same thing, there has to be consistancy. However I, unlike everyone else it seems, think that there was some legitimacy there, as he clearly could have given room without hurting his chances of a sucessful pass and he also knew that he'd be forcing Monsour Crashy pants into the turf.

It did look like to me he jerked toward the pits too after he straightened out after the initial contact with Sutil.

Part of it is having a reputation for being a dick/overly-aggressive driver as well.

[Roysneon]

^Agreed. The way he out braked Lewis was ridiculous. Anyone else think Maldonado's penalty was a joke?
