Horner has revealed that he didnt even tell Webber in peson they were taking his wing and the reasons. it was up to his engineer to tell him what was happening. MY GAWD that is bad people management and no wonder it turned into a dog's breakfast

Damo's R32 Gts-r, On Going Project Fun Car. History And Use Full Info
Roy replied to DJRIFT's topic in Motorsport Builds
RB20 valve springs are the way to go. I have a set of Tomei solid lifters and springs for the RB20, it all bolts into the RB25 DE head. So if the RB25 sux will be easy to put into an RB30 (heaven forbid ) Well at least thats what i read on the internetz so it cant be wrong -
I am amazed you can part with this animal. Real shame you have not been able to get out and enjoy it more. I know if i had the money and could justify the spend i would be PROUD to have such a unique and well built car in my shed. Really hope you find a good home for it, or find a way of keeping it.

I stay in Oxford when in the UK so was always easy to get to Silverstone from there, i am hankering to drive the place Would have killed to go to the GP there, my mates who dont give a stuff about motor racing have even been and say its great! Was reading today that James Allen seems to think that the decision to stiff Mark was most likely Newey's decision. No outside Red Bull pressure on Red Bull Racing and most likely was Adrians preference for Vettel as a driver that saw him get the part

Singapore sux to live, and nothing to do when you visit...except at GP time

AHHHHHHHH!!!! Just found out i am a good chance for August DECA and was getting online ot buy these...GOD DARNIT! -
It was fun....but only just makes up for the 2 years i have now spent in India
-
So close to going flat ... I am waiting to sign a contract that will have me working 140kms from Spa
-
10,11,12 September? Doubt it, not unless paperwork is signed the next few weeks, in which case for sure you can count me in. But at present, Hungary is looking a good chance if i can muster up some support...maybe Spa...but if no contracts are signed by end July I will beback in Aus mid August so all the cool stuff I want to do gets cancelled and back to crashing GTSts .

At no time was Hamo a chance of keeping up with Webber, he drive as quick as he needed to. In light of all the bumps at Silverstone, the wind and clear pace advantage he drove to a gap. There were several examples when Webber had to go and he did. On full tanks he ap after lap pulled a 0.1 to 0.3 sec a lap on Hamilton. He relaxed and took the extra bit of time to make sure they nailed a smooth stop so lost some time there. But pulled back his buffer, likewise after the pace car. Not sure if you were watching he lap timing, with about 12 laps to go Hamo put in a fastest lap taking it from 5.2 to 4.7 or something. The next lap Webber beat Hamiltons fastest lap by 1.5 seconds...a pretty clear "don't bother Lewis...i have so much in reserve" . Then with two laps to go brought it home and the 6-7sec gap fell to nothing. RBR had so much clear race pace, they just didnt need to push the car, a smart thing in light of all the offs over the weekend and failures RBR have had this year.

Reading Horners comments last night I think he is helping to put things into perspective and is throwing support behind Mark, and commenting that he wont be going anywhere....we need each other sort of thing and he knows the history of the team after 4 seasons etc etc. Which makes sense and only flames my concern that this whole issue is more a Reb Bull Drink company imposing its will on a Racing Team they sponsor, which nobody in the team likes. Probably Vettel himself is uncomfortable with the whole thing
-
Yeh I think its clear that Red Bull Racing do not like what Red Bull the drink manufacturer management are doing within the team!!! Red Bull are going to do a 2007 McLaren and lose both championships.... The scary thing is I can see Webber being shown the door before seasons end if he continues to fight the system I cant believe that Horner, Newey and the guys actually in the team, (not consultants to the team) are the ones pulling the strings. Everyone has bosses and I think that means the whole team is under pressure. One thing for sure, Webber best tread carefully. If Berger as part owner of STR can be forced out and Speed, Liuzzi, Bourdais feel the burn ... I don't think a contract means much if Webber wants to say too much publicly and Red Bull/Mateschitz feel Vettel is only losing points to a team mate in the Championship and its time to blood Buemi in a competitive car. I can see it happening.... and as a bunch of employees i dont see Horner, Newey or anyone else able to stop it. I would love to buy DC a beer and hear his side of things and wonder if his McLaren experience has him giving Webber some advice on the side??? He has seemed to be pretty flattering of Mark this year in his comments
-
See I watch that vid, see how Webber has been tied up with Horner in GP3, how he drove for RBR before Vettel...i cant see them having a bad relationship if Horner was given free reign of the team...i cant help but think Webber knows Horner is up the middle, but Horner has bosses to answer to as well remembering that Horner tried to go it alone by buying Jordan all those years ago but didnt have the budget and only got the call from Red Bull when they took over Jaguar because he had been looking after Red Bull dirvers in Junior categories (i think it was Luiszzi and Dornboos). So Horner is 100% in the pocket of Red Bull as a company, not Red Bull Racing as a racing team. But, yes, imteresting times ahead. If Webber can get up in Germany and those damn Ferraris finally pull a few points of the Macs then will be interesting to see if RBR implode under the pressure of trying to sculpt history. Personally the more i read about Marko the more he seems to be a destructive force in many things he touches by having to control people and have things only done his way to his liking
-
The best thing is....Webber leads Vettel in the WDC so puts even more pressure on RBR management when they look for the excuse book for why Vettel should be given any advantage, even down to pit stop strategy and quali order. I am not confident Webber will be able to ride out this storm if he wants to publicly fight management...but will be fun watching I am emailing my mate from Budapest who is working in Ireland...he needs to show me the ropes and will hopefully have a wing man for Hungarian GP or Belgium. Now where do i buy an Aussie flag from
-
..oh and Massa looking like he was back driving a Sauber in his rookie year with that mistake. He has been nowhere in the races while Alonso is getting d1cked by stewards and safety cars
-
Well i wasnt sure of Horner and Webber were mucking around with one another...but conference says there is no lost love between Mark and the team management. Dangerous ground for Webber if he pisses too many people in the Red Bull management off, wont matter what the team and mechanics think if Red Bull as a company are going to close in
-
"Not bad for a Number 2 Driver! " YEH BABY!!!
-
This lap, lets see Vettel knock Webbers wing off his car trying to get Sutil
-
Come on Schuey, you chop your old mate Massa in Canada...i was all aroused at the prospoect of you gutting Vettel like a fish ./..come on Button, do a number on Rosberg....or lets see Vettel and Sutil give each other some love
-
Kobayashi wanting a shot at Rubens...go you good thing
-
Oh shit! Things will be itneresting on restart with Hamo...but think Webber has the pace
-
hehehehehehee

Hang on , wires are being crossed here. Silverstone is the 10th GP of the season. So how do you have 5-4???? Bahrian: Vettel Australia: Vettel Malaysia: Webber China: Vettel Spain : Webber Monaco: Webber the sphincter of the universe: Webber Canada: Webber European GP: Vettel Silverstone: Vettel
-
5-5 So even stevens now. So Webber was 5-4 up on Vettel Whats the bet that if Webber is able to shadow (if) Vettel up to the first pit stop he gets no chace of jumping with either an early or later stop. They will be pulled in within a lap of one another meaning status quo
-
Webber has been in front of Vettel, had a better quaifying record this year, has won as mang GPs as Vettel this year, there are still 10 GPs to go... Vettel being ahead on points means very little at the moment. Earlier in the year was Helmut Marko at every GP? I recall that he used to only turn up to the occassional race and often commented from a distance about the team. Interesting to see him in the pits the last few weekends since the sphincter of the universe! ???????
