Red Bullshit

Justin: I think my co-blogger has already used this title once before if memory serves?? Anyway, some quality number crunching by my colleague there....and one has to remark on his last line of the blog about Lewis Hamilton and a wet race at Yas Marina. I looked at the weather forecast, and for Thursday and Friday there are actually rain showers forecast! So, Lewis for the title then eh??

I have a severe gripe with the powers that be at Red Bull. The owner, Dietrich Mateschitz, would rather see his drivers miss out on the drivers title than have to impose team orders and tarnish themselves as Ferarri have done.

One has to wonder what his views would be if Vettel were the guy most likely to win the title for Red Bull.

Every team at one time or another has given some sort of team order. Fact. F1 is a team sport. Fact. Him going on record saying this just backs up everything else we knew of Red Bull....they love Vettel so much they'd rather a Ferarri won the world drivers title. I'd have thought it would be rather nice to collect the constructors and drivers titles for the first time in the same year, but apparently the powers that be can happily do without the drivers title.

It's all very well saying these things.....they are hiding their feelings over favouring one guy over another amongst all this "we're a fair team" bullshit.

This is further backed up by Horner saying there will indeed be no team orders (essentially it seems he is going back on what I blogged about in my last blog), but that given the situation he'd hope the drivers can sort it out for themselves.

So, we're relying on Vettel to be a good guy and let Webber past if the moment arises??? Erm...I'll believe it when I see it, given he took him out at Turkey.

The question is, would Vettel rather Webber or someone in another team won the drivers title??? He has hinted he would help Webber, but with the amount of moaning and backstabbing Vettel has done this year this remark means nothing at all.

It's a load of Red Bullshit. Webber is on his own.
