I do understand all the people that are dinging Red Bull, but....

How many other people are there out who enjoy in their pursuit of advantage and dominance? How many people applaud Red Bull?

Good post bhallg2k hahaha. Yeah, I do agree with pretty much all of it. Hypocrisy really is off the charts sometimes (most of the time) in F1.

Seems pretty unlikely, Red Bull seem pretty tied up with Renault, not really sure a bad 6 months would cause them pay a huge sum to Porsche for them to develop an engine for them.

That plus Porsche is pretty bound by their LMP1 Programm.

Not sure if they could handle two Monsters of that Size.

What if it would be more or less the same engine?
And anyway, Porsche has what it takes to handle two motorsport programs if RedBull pays for it.

Their LMP1 uses an I4 Engine.

Doesn't Cosworth have an engine ready to go right now? Why not pursue that? Porsche would have to start from scratch, no?
Watching F1 since 1986.

V4 not I4. And I don't believe it either. Just thought it was funny. Porsche is not going to take on both Le Mans and F1.

It would not be. The LMP1 engine is a 2.0L v4, they would need to change to a 1.6L v6.

Also, rumor has it their engine has teething issues of it's own. Supposedly they have yet to run more than 1000km consecutively during testing at sebring without some kind of issue, and it supposedly has some vibration issues.

Well, they're just rumors. 3 weeks to go til the engine's race debut.

The fact that it happened doesn't surprise me, the fact that it happened so early in the race does.

You get a downvote from me just for keeping that lie alive.
Seriously.. shame on you.
So you are claiming you know the truth? That makes you a liar as well.
His opinion was maybe phrased as a fact, that's all you can blame him for, but so is yours, not worth downvoting for that.

And as we all know: the truth is out there ...
