The title goes to the wire as Vettel takes the honours in Brazil

With Vettel winning in Brazil the title goes to the next race in Abu Dhabi, the same result would see Alonso lift the crown but surely even Red Bull would switch the drivers so that they take the title, it’s not like Alonso could whinge about that.
It was a good race fro Red Bull, apart from Hulkenberg sitting on pole they had pretty much the perfect weekend, and to top that they came away with the constructors crown. Red Bull deserve the constructors title this year, they clearly have the best car and arguably have had for the last season and a half. Adrian Newey really was worth all of that money.
Webber should be pleased with the weekend, although Vettel can still win the title,  Alonso only has to finish 5th to ensure that Vettel can’t take the crown. With the Ferrari looking everybit as if it is the [...]

Red Bull launch their 2010 crusader

Red Bull launch their 2010 crusader

Last years Red Bull very nearly won the world championship, if they had started the year with a double diffuser and Sebastien Vettel hadn’t been quite so hot headed then they would have won the championship, it’s that simple.
Therefore this years can is going to have to go one better to satisfy everyone and that can only be at the expense of teams such as Ferrari and McLaren which doesn’t happen that often, I think last year may have been their best hope.
That said they have Adrian Newey who has designed some amazing cars and this looks like one of them. The Red Bull livery makes it hard to discern the detail but there’s no reason to believe that they won’t have built a fast car – unless they spent all their efforts on last years car and this one has been built in the last four months. It’s possible [...]

Red Bull

Red Bull finished the 2009 season with the best car, even the guys at Brawn would have said that. They were consistently fast, have great drivers and had the drive and capacity to follow this through all season and if they had designed a double diffuser into the car they probably would have won at least the constructors championship. So what should we expect in 2010?
The team hasn’t had any major changes, with both drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel staying put  - why would they want to move?! Mark Webber should be on form from the start this year after his leg injury and will be wanting to reassert himself over his young team mate Vettel. Vettel has another rival on the scene now for top german and another for most promising young german in the forms of Michael Schumacher and Nico Hulkenberg, I don’t think he get lost [...]
