Red Bull must change 'illegal' holes in cars' floors http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/18310767 Patrick ALL Teams are looking for ways to distract Red Bull after the last two years of their success!   |

Just watched the Highlights on BBC Who said Formula 1 is boring !!!!! Racing from the get go Great win by Lewis Who will get Massa's Seat? Perez, Grosjean or Di Resta I think Grosjean has alot to prove yet, this is his 2nd TIME in F1 and he probably must produce now or be out for good, so he would not be my 1st choice. Perez HAS won a race this season already and also come in 3rd in Canada so he shows alot of promise and potential but can he be the #2 guy at Ferrari? Di Resta has done none of that yet but has done some excellent driving so far, in short for me it is between these two right now. There is always the chance of a wildcard such as Heiki Kovaleinen(sp) coming over, he is mired in mediocrity where he is and wants something better now! But he CAN be a #2 guy, he was at McLaren and can be the #1 guy too, he is now. He also has tons of experience, especially in a top tier car. The 'problem' with Heiki is he is not a young gun, so he would not be Alonso's replacement some day, while a Di Resta or Perez could be. So if Ferrari is thinking long term a young guy might be the way to go, although someone signing a 10+ year contract would be silly IMO. So you have a 'young gun' and then he too could leave in a few years if he becomes unhappy. IMO if you want to win NOW, Heiki is the way to go, he is fast, has driven a top tier car and can be the #2 guy on a team and still be happy about it. He also is young enough to stay for a few years after Alonso retires. Webber is another possibility but Red Bull may sign him just to stop Ferrari signing him! I think Webber would like the relative calm and TEAM bonding that Ferrari has, as opposed to how Red Bull operates! He and Alonso are friends now and they could push each other to new heights for both! It is probably the ONLY place Webber could go and potentially win a WDC, at Red Bull he is OBVIOUSLY the #2 guy. At Ferrari he would at least start out on equal footing, although Mercedes may offer him that too if MS leaves. |

HPD ARX Honda takes LM P2. Ferrari takes 1&2 in LM GTE Pro Corvette defeats Porsche for LM GTE Am (There was some really fine racing in this class.)  |

He'd be the new Eddie Irving He made more money in real estate than he ever did in racing. It's not a good idea Agreed. Mark's personality is not likely to fit in well with the dictatorship of Team Ferrari. However Mark is gone as far as he will go with Red Bull. |

Agreed. Mark's personality is not likely to fit in well with the dictatorship of Team Ferrari. However Mark is gone as far as he will go with Red Bull. Agreed. Mark Webber COULD do a swap with Lewis Hamilton and it could be a good thing for Mark but I think Lewis would be nothing but problems for Red Bull! Red Bull has Seb Vettel and he is OBVIOUSLY their #1 guy for now! Bringing in another guy who thinks he can be a #1 guy will cause nothing but more problems for Red Bull! In short Mark Webber may be stuck at Red Bull for the rest of his career, for more money every year of course, if only to protect Vettel!! Red Bull NEEDS Mark Webber as much as Mark Webber needs them! If Mark left Red Bull they would be in too much conflict to get things back to last years form, IMO. Mark pushes Vettel to the point that Vettel KNOWS he better stay in top form or he will not win, Red Bull NEEDS Vettel in top form! |
