You can probably open a subway station in Nick's asshole the amount of times he's been getting reamed by teams in recent history.

They were looking for a driver that would lead...Nick doesn't seem like he's 'leading' very well. Not to the level (or points-haul) of Kubica, and that's what I think they were looking for. I can understand this decision... :hs:

I don't think they'll find a leader in Senna (at least not this season) but the financial backing will probably go a long way, especially if Senna's pace is anywhere near Nick's.

Maybe if Nick lost the Chewbacca meets Euro-trash look he might have more backing...

Absolutely not. But that's not expected of Senna nor Petrov at the moment...Nick however, was supposed to lead...and if they perform the same, Senna will have the advantage with the financial backing. To be honest, with nick's experience, I really thought he was going to do better and lead the team and pull in much more points than he has...

Was that Red Bull intake-restricted? I see a plate in the intake that I've never seen in an RB6 before...

I saw that, I wonder if its so that they can hook up a leaf blower hose right into there and have it seal properly since the hole is round in there. If they wanted to limit power they can do that with the ecu easily.

The car they used in Austin was no v10, it was so different looking than the RB4 or anything earlier.

So I finally made it into DC to see Senna. And as my dad and I sat there in the subbasement of the E Street Cinema, the fucking earthquake hit. :rofl:

We had no idea what it was, so we stayed and watched the film after that. People were freaking out though for the duration.

I never go into DC, never take off work, and never really go to movie theaters. :rofl:


p.s. that F2004/laguna seca vid freezes all my browsers but keeps the volume playing necessitating 3 hard restarts in the last half hour. :mad:

Red Bull has a handful of cars they use for demonstrations around the world. The F1 showcar used for the Austin demonstration was a 2005 car fitted with a V10 engine, though current F1 vehicles use V8 engines.

It's great to finally have the tide turned on the east coast as far as overreacting to minor natural occurrences and general unpreparedness.

Attention Austin taco merchants: develop a non-spicy, cheese-free breakfast taco for the Europeans. Maybe call it "The Coulthard."


This made me chuckle for some reason :mamoru:

Wait...so I had a chance to listen to a V10 and I missed it? :wtc:

I don't really trust jalopnik as they are gawker trash. Look at the car, nothing about its looks says v10. If it is indeed a v10 they went through major effort to fit the narrow tall rear wing, wide low front wing, and to take off all the winglets of the v10 era.

Yeah the team is just going to love him after he sues them. Why the fuck would he think thats ever going to work, they wont give a shit about him anymore and its just going to be a horrible relationship. Hes trying to grasp at something that isnt there.

Probably isn't suing to get a seat back, just to get compensated for being sidelined or something.

You left coast people must have such an inferiority complex to get off on people panicking. I have no idea what you mean by unpreparedness. Do you walk around with a helmet on? Keep a map in your back pocket? Clown.
