Red Bull won't block Vettel's title hopes 1 Attachment(s) Red Bull will not become a roadblock to Sebastian Vettel's F1 title aspirations, team owner Dietrich Mateschitz has promised. The 21-year-old German has inked a two year contract to race with the energy drink company's senior team in 2009 and 2010, but F1 Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone has been vocal about his desire to see the highly rated driver in a truly competitive car. Red Bull has high hopes for the promising new Adrian Newey-penned RB5, but Mateschitz is realistic about wanting the most promising product of his young driver programme to succeed. "We have a two-year contract with Sebastian," the Austrian billionaire told Germany's Auto Motor und Sport. "Should we be unable to give him a top car, we will certainly not want to stand in his way to the world title," added Mateschitz. E.A, Source: GMM © CAPSIS International |
Very nice gesture by Red Bull, but as Vettel has proved in the past, he doesn't need a top car to do well in F1! |

No. But he does need a haircut. That mop MUST be aerodynamically unsound. http://downforce-media.smugmug.com/p...9_nqqf6-X3.jpg http://www.speed-magazin.de/Image/Fo...k-heidfeld.JPG |
It would be great to see him in a Ferrari, or if my wishes came true, back in a competitive BMW. |
