Webber probably doesn't run exactly the same parts or exactly the same setups. It's clear which teammate RBR actually cares about, which car gets the priority, which preferences are favored, etc, and it's definitely not the Aussie leaving for Porsche next year.
It also plays right into the theory that Newey's cars work best in clean air and struggle in traffic.

Sorry, but Daniel Riccardo better hope Seb gets struck by lightning or something if he ever hopes of being anything other than "that other guy at RB".

And I'd venture to say if they pair Kimi with Freddy, there'd be no shortage of fireworks @ Ferrari either...

This long read below is worth the time. I like Vettel, but my current dislike of Vettel is that he races for RedBull and I don't like Redbull primarily because I think they're shysters. What Horner did to Mercedes (and consequently to Pirelli) and what he's doing now.
And this.. Quote:

Very surprised that Red Bull actually stuck with their development program, also surprised that Vettel signed through 2015, I think it was wise for them as drivers but I just had a different gut feeling.
Alonso will likely retire from Ferrari, I think Button is in the same boat. Rosberg and Hamilton will be with Mercedes through 2014 to see if they really do get an advantage from the factory engines although they may jump ship soon after. Raikkonen is the only other big name that could shake things up, I figured he'd be in a Red Bull come winter but he's still got Lotus Ferrari and Mclaren potential. I wouldn't be surprised if he sticks with Lotus, people forget that it's a winning team with 4 drivers championships over the past 20 years, more than anyone except Ferrari, you'd have to go back 30 years to put Mclaren and Williams ahead. I think Vettel's on track to get his fourth championship this year unless there is a scandal or a huge leap from his competitors. |

what's a good place, free or paid, that i could watch full coverage of an entire F1 season.
i want to know more about the sport, but it seems what's generally available are small clips here and there or everything in text format. i don't have a TV so the internet is my only source for things. are there boxed sets of seasons or anything of that sort?

I thought there was but all I can find is highlights. Honestly I'd recommend the less than legal methods of obtaining F1.
I can't wait until mainstream entertainment starts offering reasonably priced DRM free high quality downloads. I'd pay $40 for a seasons worth of HD BBC coverage downloaded or streamed. Until then torrenting is the easiest option, an Antenna will catch the races broadcast on NBC in HD (it's better quality than any cable or satellite feed I've seen) but most of them are on some backwater channel. |

Goddamnit Redbull.
If it doesn't rain then the race probably isn't worth watching. Glad my Seahawks are playing tomorrow, at least there's hope of someone I like winning!

It'll be Canada all over again. Get a lead and walk away without contention. For once I'd like to see Vettel actually earn his wins by coming through the pack. Hopefully Alonso will make some good moves on his opening lap (like he usually does) and put up a good fight. He doesn't have many of the usual suspects to deal with, and if he works with Massa to get a draft (assuming he doesn't pass him) it could be very useful catching Vettel. One can only hope. I'm getting really sick of seeing Newey win everything. Even a Mercedes win would be nice again, but poor Hamilton got held up on the one lap that mattered. :/

Freddy over-drove in qualy & the drafting business w/ Massa failed. His only chance is getting a great start & max attacking to get to the front & hope Seb doesn't try & run him off the track like he did last year.
He has massive motivation, especially w/ Luca lurking in the background & the Tifosi urging him on. I honestly don't think anyone else will have a chance if he can't get up & try to & challenge Seb. Weber normally doesn't go well there... It'll be interesting to see how far Hamilton & Kimi can move up the grid. Unfortunately, I see Seb & RB w/ a 4-peat in '13...
