Think he just meant it's handier for people on mobile and the like.

Actually no.
Those letters were left off deliberate as some country had a ban on tobacco advertising. ( as far as I recall this was why.)

Exactly that, they also used to put on Bitten Hisses

Would love to see him back involved but I think he enjoys the lifestyle he has and wouldn't want the stress of it, plus he's more of a shake of the hand deal maker type and F1 is 100% corporate now

Ah Vectra, did the winky eye face not emphasise my sarcasm?!

It's news to me too. No idea what that was about.

Here's a bit about it on wiki

As most teams already had drivers signed for 1994, Patrese opted for retirement and brought what was then the longest F1 career in history to a conclusion. Patrese was invited to rejoin Williams in 1994 to fill the seat of Ayrton Senna after his fatal accident at Imola, but ultimately decided against returning to Formula One. In the second half of 1996, as thanks for his years of service to Williams, the team invited Patrese to test their latest car, the FW18, at Silverstone, with the Italian reportedly setting a time that would have placed him on the second row of the grid for that year's British Grand Prix.

I think Sainz will get the RBR seat, Gasly probably to get another year at TR although if he does get the call to go to RBR he will have well deserved it.

Either way that seat will be filled by a Red Bull driver of some sort.

I'd say Helmut makes that call, with the advice/input of Horner.

ELM327 · 06-08-2018 12:15PM

So. Alonso to RBR rumour started yet? :P

They still manage to win races though. With Alonso in that car one would think he'd wring the neck of it and challenge for the title.

Myself and a few lads are arranging a trip to Silverstone for the GP next year. Camping and probably general admission tickets but we might go for stand tickets if they’re good value.

We want to book this month to get a better deal. Does anyone have any tips forgetting cheap tickets?

Cheers.

That's because they aren't yet using a 'GP2' engine

Joking aside, it'll be a real test for them next season. I expect them to be still competitive, though not for podiums for a good while. It'll prob make or break the team long term
