On the night from Friday to Saturday, burglars have stolen a large number of F1 trophies from Red Bull Racing. The break in caused significant damage as offenders drove a vehicle through the building's front entrance.
Prolly due to RBR being a drinks company and not an auto-maker of any kind.Cam wrote:I find it amusing that Red Bull, now languishing, are still targets of 'cheating' allegations, while Mercedes, who are smashing everyone, simply did a better job. Go figure.

He took time out from mclaren to design yachts and ended up at red bull not long after, if it's true and does take time out (signs for a rival) RB will have afew competitive seasons afterwards but will start to fade away unfortunately.mikeerfol wrote:https://twitter.com/tgruener/status/475551614540201984
And a chance to be involved in their supposed LMP1 programme. But these were just rumours. And as for being loyal, dont you think that a sabbatical year would more likely mean that he has taken the offer rather than decline it?ecapox wrote:Wow. Ferrari offered him $23,000,000 AND the ability to design his own road car. That sounds like a deal too good to pass up!
Kudos for being loyal.
Hmmmm, yachts and aircraft I'd imagine. Good for him. Ferrari and others ultimately couldn't give him this flexibility.However, his responsibilities will change, and he will become an advisor and mentor to the F1 outfit rather than be totally focused on it.
A clarification on what Newey will focus on will be announced later this year.
Team principal Christian Horner said ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix that he was delighted his company was keeping hold of Newey.
Uhhhhh? No, RedBull are not "just an F1 company". They're a drinks company that uses F1 as a mobile billboard.Cold Fussion wrote:What do Red Bull plan on doing is the question, since they're pretty much just an F1 company.

I can see this happening definitely. A road car built by red bull and designed by Adrian Newey. A marketing powerhouse at work.basti313 wrote:Absolutely.ecapox wrote:Wow. Ferrari offered him $23,000,000 AND the ability to design his own road car. That sounds like a deal too good to pass up!

But I also think we will possibly see a road car from RedBull technology when Newey is its head...or something like a road car, maybe like the cars he "invented" for this computer game.
