Earlier this week the German press carried claims that Mark Webber would definitely leave Red Bull at the end of this season. Today, however, a stronger rumour emerged suggesting that the Australian driver will do the exact opposite and flat refuse to leave the team, even if they want him to.

Marks not bloody going anywhere, said a source close to the F1 star. Whether they bloody like it or not, hell be there in 2014, leaving all the lights on in the pit, knocking over piles of tyres, releasing a brown shark into the motorhome shitter and then not flushing. Oh yea, Red Bull are gonna be stuck with him all season.

Our inside man claims that Webber has already dreamt up several other disruptions such as holding a powerful magnet near Adrian Neweys brain until key items of data are wiped, leaving a land mine on the pit wall, just under Christian Horners jiggly foot and giving interviews in which he describes the Red Bull drink as robot piss.

F1 pundits have already noted that this scheme will come to nothing if Webbers seat is given to another driver but our source claims the Aussie racer has already thought of that; If some other bloody idiot gets the drive, Mark will just bring his own car, our mole revealed. Truth is, hes been nicking bits for bloody years. All he needs to do is stick em all together and hes got an RB6/7/8/9 of his own. It wont win races but trust me, itll be bloody good at accidentally crashing into Sebastian Vettel.

why can't all rumours about mark be like this?

It does appear that Mateschitz is Mark's biggest backer in the team. All negotiations are direct between Mark and him and for whatever reason they seem to havea good relationship. I recall reading Mark stayed at his holiday get away over summer, an offer not extended to anyone else in the RBR family

It was said recently that Hamiltons approach was blocked because Dietrish said Mark has first dibs if he wants to keep the seat. So shows the level of support/respect he has for Mark

I hope Kimi goes toe to toe with Vettel. He probably has the sort of natural feel and pace that can allow him to beat Vettel consistantly. One can only hope.

But I hope we get the 2010 Webber back with bit between his teeth and we get a fight for this years WDC. He doesnt have to win it but FFS FIGHT OLD SON!

Some more video-audio from the last race. Not sure its all the radio calls. But you do get the feeling that the race was being run from the pit wall and not the drivers seats.

If you watch the race edit on the F1 site you hear the "Multi21 map Sebastian" call.

I cant wait for the next GP. RBR normally go ok there and Seb has a good record so will be interesting to see how it pans out

I just posted this on another forum, but I'm putting it here too.

! watched the MotoGP this morning. Nice to see some actual GrandPrix racing - you know, where the best guys on the day sort out the podium places on the track, instead of fat old bastards behind the pit wall determining the outcome, allegedly because they don't think their 20,000,000 pound drivers are good enough to overtake one another without f**king it all up. MotoGP rookie passed his established teammate with 5 or 6 laps to go and the world did not end!
It was also nice to see guys pushing hard right through the race rather than cruising at 80% most of the time, thanks to having race tyres designed to actually perform - a radical concept for the pinacle of motorsport... F1 has f**ked things royally IMO.
Less FAKE SHOW and more GRANDPRIX RACING thanks!

Moto gp riders still have to find that balance between all out pace and blistering the rear tyres. It's not as much of a fine line as f1 though.

It is funny though that the racing category that us generally classed as the pinnacle of motor racing is also the category where they aren't pushing 100% very much. Having said that, i think that the speed difference between what they are driving at and flat out is bugger all (maybe a few tenths), otherwise the last few laps of the gp would see anyone with plenty of fuel left and decent tyres romping through the field.

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
