Red Bull driver no. 2

Page 1 of 1

posted on 3/7/13

Vettel has already told the team that he needs to be consulted regarding the selection of his team mate. Helmut Marko and Vettel will select his next team mate. He would need someone that won't threaten him the way Webber did so expect a return to the grid of Karthikeyan, Chandok or a surprise move for Max Chilton

Manutd......... What drivel. If vettel recommended any of those drivers I would be shocked. Red bull are there for the constructors title not to massage his ego.

Red bull will attract the best available to them. I agree with mrT. Expect button, Ricardo or Kimi.

What's the drivel?

mr tweedy

in general red bull have run an equal no 1 policy these last few years because the constructors title is of great importance to them so i cant see anything changing on that front ,

i suppose kimi raikk is the obvious choice but would red bull take a chance on him after knowing how his head went down at ferrari when faced with a quick felipe massa , how would kimi raikk react when faced with an even quicker driver with more ability as he would be teamed up with vettel ,

to be honest i think red bull have a difficult situation on there hands , either one of the torro rosso drivers might not be as consistant as kimi raikk would be for the constructors title but would kimi raikk take kindly to being blown off by vettel ,

button is not red bull quality anyway and his age is against him ,there will always be a question mark hanging over kimi raikk after his ferrari days , the torro rosso drivers may lack consistancy ,

maybe i missed something when webber has been allowed to beat vettel fair and square many times , maybe i also missed 2009 and also 2010 when webber lead the WDC and gave vettel all the trouble he could handle and beat him several times -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- no 2 drivers are not allowed to do that

why would they want an ageing button that has a qualifying problem , and can only perform in an absolutely perfect car and nothing else --

funny how an accomplished driver like webber cannot blow the field away like his german team mate does if his red bull is so perfect

Funny how the mclaren was the fastest car on the grid last year but button couldn't compete with his team mate

martial,

Do you remember Vettel in the first half of last year?

Or Alonso in 2009?

Or Hamilton in the first half of 2009?

Every driver struggles in a less than perfect car, why is Button always singled out for it?

by his own admission button went the wrong way on set up when the tyres threw him a curved ball ---

sorry TA i just think he is flawed ,
he always seems to have a problem of some sort in qual especially , his style as smooth as it is , is not suited to getting heat into the front tyres and there lies the root of his problems --

Really martial, Webber went the wrong way because he was the number 2 driver. Something he's said himself. Forgive me if I consider his views above yours

think you are telling little fairy tales again manx -- as i said no 2 drivers are not allowed to give there team mates a very hard time as webber did with vettel in 09 and 2010 , not to mention webber was challenging for the 2010 WDC which is unheard of for a no 2 --

I take it you were on a planet when Webber himself said at Silverstone in 2010 when his front wing was taken off him and given to Vettel; "not bad for a number 2 driver".

I also take it you were on Mars when after Malaysia Webber said; "Seb will have protection as usual and that's the way it goes"

Again, you will have to forgive me for completely disregarding your quite franky ridiculous opinion

i dont base my opinion on one solitary front wing incident 3 yrs ago where the wing in question was not quicker anyway , i certainly dont base it on the bleating of the driver who is being decimated by vettel -

what has malaysia got to do with anything -- vettel told red bull where to stick there team orders , what has that got to do with anything ?
you have in fact contradicted your own opinion about webber being a no 2 , because at that race vettel was told not to pass webber -- since when has a no 1 ever been told he cannot pass a no 2 ?

as for disregarding my opinion -- but you dont disregard my opinion at all because you always bite on everything i say if you dont agree
with it -

Martial, I highligt the errors in your posts because truth be told the only thing you've got right is that Senna is a great driver.

I've told you before, you are a jester and provide me with entertainment. Nothing more

oh dear --- take it you cant counter my opinion then as true to form the usual silly name calling emerges
--- takes alot more than silly name calling to beat me my old son --
---- you need logic and knowledge to beat me --- -------------------------- name calling just aint gonna defeat me manx -you should know that by now -

what would you know about senna - you never even saw him race --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- did you manx
