Earlier this week the German press carried claims that Mark Webber would definitely leave Red Bull at the end of this season. Today, however, a stronger rumour emerged suggesting that the Australian driver will do the exact opposite and flat refuse to leave the team, even if they want him to.

Marks not bloody going anywhere, said a source close to the F1 star. Whether they bloody like it or not, hell be there in 2014, leaving all the lights on in the pit, knocking over piles of tyres, releasing a brown shark into the motorhome shitter and then not flushing. Oh yea, Red Bull are gonna be stuck with him all season.

Our inside man claims that Webber has already dreamt up several other disruptions such as holding a powerful magnet near Adrian Neweys brain until key items of data are wiped, leaving a land mine on the pit wall, just under Christian Horners jiggly foot and giving interviews in which he describes the Red Bull drink as robot piss.

F1 pundits have already noted that this scheme will come to nothing if Webbers seat is given to another driver but our source claims the Aussie racer has already thought of that; If some other bloody idiot gets the drive, Mark will just bring his own car, our mole revealed. Truth is, hes been nicking bits for bloody years. All he needs to do is stick em all together and hes got an RB6/7/8/9 of his own. It wont win races but trust me, itll be bloody good at accidentally crashing into Sebastian Vettel.

why can't all rumours about mark be like this?

It does appear that Mateschitz is Mark's biggest backer in the team. All negotiations are direct between Mark and him and for whatever reason they seem to havea good relationship. I recall reading Mark stayed at his holiday get away over summer, an offer not extended to anyone else in the RBR family

It was said recently that Hamiltons approach was blocked because Dietrish said Mark has first dibs if he wants to keep the seat. So shows the level of support/respect he has for Mark

I hope Kimi goes toe to toe with Vettel. He probably has the sort of natural feel and pace that can allow him to beat Vettel consistantly. One can only hope.

But I hope we get the 2010 Webber back with bit between his teeth and we get a fight for this years WDC. He doesnt have to win it but FFS FIGHT OLD SON!

Some more video-audio from the last race. Not sure its all the radio calls. But you do get the feeling that the race was being run from the pit wall and not the drivers seats.

If you watch the race edit on the F1 site you hear the "Multi21 map Sebastian" call.

I cant wait for the next GP. RBR normally go ok there and Seb has a good record so will be interesting to see how it pans out

I just posted this on another forum, but I'm putting it here too.

! watched the MotoGP this morning. Nice to see some actual GrandPrix racing - you know, where the best guys on the day sort out the podium places on the track, instead of fat old bastards behind the pit wall determining the outcome, allegedly because they don't think their 20,000,000 pound drivers are good enough to overtake one another without f**king it all up. MotoGP rookie passed his established teammate with 5 or 6 laps to go and the world did not end!
It was also nice to see guys pushing hard right through the race rather than cruising at 80% most of the time, thanks to having race tyres designed to actually perform - a radical concept for the pinacle of motorsport... F1 has f**ked things royally IMO.
Less FAKE SHOW and more GRANDPRIX RACING thanks!

Moto gp riders still have to find that balance between all out pace and blistering the rear tyres. It's not as much of a fine line as f1 though.

It is funny though that the racing category that us generally classed as the pinnacle of motor racing is also the category where they aren't pushing 100% very much. Having said that, i think that the speed difference between what they are driving at and flat out is bugger all (maybe a few tenths), otherwise the last few laps of the gp would see anyone with plenty of fuel left and decent tyres romping through the field.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
