I wouldnt have a clue who is getting the drive. I know who i dont want to get the drive:) right now im not so worried about Williams, we already have Weber, right now i just want DC to pick up the Red Bull drive.

In a way i want pizza boy to get the seat, just so mid season after being humiliated by Weber again he can get dropped and Williams hand the driver over to someone else:)

That will kill his career for sure:thumbsup:

What i did read is that WEST are being replaced by Johnie Walker:alcoholic:

Yeah, you got a point there. If webber is as good as we say he is, what does it matter if piss-on-ia gets the drive? surely the way we've talked webber up he will walk all over him. if not :Oops:

On the other hand I think it would be really good for webber to have a team mate he can work with. Otherwise there will be so much wasted energy spent clashing with piss.

here you go Roy (taken from planetF1):

"David Coulthard will remain in F1 in 2005 as he's signed a deal to drive Red Bull Racing, that is according to the team's boss Dietrich Mateschitz.

In the latest instalment in the David Coulthard/Red Bull saga, reports have emerged claiming that Red Bull have come to the conclusion that they need at least one experienced man in their ranks.

"There is no way we would go forward if we had two inexperienced drivers in the car," a team source told The Sunday Mirror.

"We have to have a driver who can develop the car and establish a baseline for the engineers."

And that driver is none other than David Coulthard, who Mateschitz says has already done a deal with Red Bull Racing, the former Jaguar Racing outfit.

"When someone has won 13 grand prix races and also has such a personality, we don't need to discuss much," Mateschitz told Austria's Kronenzeitung newspaper.

However, he did add that "in terms of marketing two youngsters would be best" for Red Bull Racing in their debut season, but immediately conceded that "having an experienced driver is more intelligent."

Neither Red Bull nor Coulthard have confirmed these reports."

Looks like DC is back.

Richard

Its not confirmed but I reckon hes back for sure.

In my opinion Red Bull have no other option. They obviously need experience to provide credible feedback to engineers and they need a driver that is reliable and reasonably quick.

Speculation has it that RB will opt for 1 full time driver and two part-timers that will alternate through the course of the season. Obvously DC would be the preferred full time driver. I think its a pretty good idea.

Has anyone heard more on the DC link to Team Dubai?

Sounds like they'll be in the starting line up in 2006 and DC is tipped as driver, as well as being involved in the business side of the team.

Odds are he'll be racing for RBR.

Yeah Team Dubai are in talks with Mercedes for customer engines. Whispers say that DC would get the drive because of his relationship with Mercedes. But then again, Wurz is also in the running. Doubt it cause he's all testing these days.

what team did Team Dubai used 2 b?

Well, DC and Red Bull are confirmed - a one year deal at the bargain basement rate of $A5.3 million (half his salary last year).

I'd still marry him for his money :)

excellent. The most interesting bit in that story is the part that says that heidfeld is now favoured over pizza for the williams drive. :):D:(

So as much as id love to see Weber do well next year...does anyone think he will make the top 3 in the championship, or win a GP?

My money is on McLaren drivers and those red cars to fight for wins...Renault performance to fall off a little, BAR to be struggle to repeat 2004 results. Why did they let David Richards go?????

I reckon Webber has the driving potential for a podium finish, it'll all come down to the car BMW Williams supply (apparently they are announcing details early Jan after they decide if Heidfeld or Pizzaboy will drive in the second seat).

The money is on BMW putting up a competitive, relaible engine this season (important when it needs to last 2 race weekends), but I think they will have better luck in 2006 under the v8/2.4L regs.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
