2nd Red Bull seat

[vhatever]

This Sainz kid looked pretty good. Nearly identical time to Riccairdo in the STR. Of course we don't really know what the fuel/setup/etc. on the cars were, and let's be frank, there is zero chance Sainz would get the seat... right? Funny thing is whenever I see his name I can't get that Ines Sainz chick out of my head. I guess that's not the end of the world.

44ms behind Ricciardo in the STR, and fourth fastest overall in the RB, .6 behind Vettel

Go Carlitos !

At least it isn't his father stuck in your head!

Kimi is too old and boring.

I think Sutil and Hulkenberg deserve the seat.

The Slasher deserve a kick in the butt and straight out of F1.

Why would Kimi move from being No.1 at Lotus to the No.2 at Red Bull? It makes no sense.

Because Red Bull is the best team with the best car since 2009, has far more money than Lotus (who is financially in a difficult situation) and has provided its drivers (well one of them at least) with far better car than Lotus. Lotus is not a car one can win titles in, whereas a monkey could win a title in the Red Bull.

Who is tje "slasher"?

For what its worth, here is the list of fastest times of the Red Bull and Toro Rosso drivers over the three days of the Silverstone test (final figure is difference to fastest time of day):
Sebastian Vettel Red Bull 1m32.894s +0
Daniel Ricciardo Toro Rosso 1m32.972s +0
Carlos Sainz Jr. Toro Rosso 1m33.016s +0.044s
Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull 1m33.187s +0.215s
Carlos Sainz Jr Red Bull 1m33.546s +0.652s
Jean-Eric Vergne Toro Rosso 1m33.647s +0.753s
Antonio Felix da Costa Red Bull 1m33.821s +0.219s
Johnny Cecotto Toro Rosso 1m34.193s +0.591s
Daniil Kvyat Toro Rosso 1m35.281s +2.387s

Notwithstanding that the times may have been set with different fuel loads etc., it does not look good for JEV to have been beaten by Sainz in a Toro Rosso. Also, the fact that both Ricciardo and Sainz were faster in the Toro Rossos than the Red Bulls suggests that Red Bull wanted them to do well, but not too well - perhaps to justify picking Raikkonen for 2014???

That's Gary's codeword for Sutil. With him unable to spell Sutil and Vettel, he has to revert to code words. You will quickly notice that Garry doesn't really mean to take part in the debate. He merely seeks reasons to publish hateful posts about drivers he hates. Sutil and Vettel are obviously among them. Just disregard his drivel

I call him "Slash" occasionally when chatting to a certain Doc.

Only bit of fun old bean.

Reports say Horner narrows choice to Raikkonen and Ricciardo.
