  • Red Bull Racing Trio Remains Unchanged for 2012

    2012-Red-Bull-racing-drivers-thumbRed Bull Racing is ready to tackle another racing year with its much cherished lineup of drivers Sebastian Vettel, Mark Webber and 23 year old Sebastien Buemi – the team test and reserve driver who has confirmed that he is to stay during 2012. So that makes a trio of skillful racers with the potential of bringing a very serious competition to this year’s season.

    Sebastien Buemi said: “It’s good to remain with Red Bull for another year and have this opportunity with the World Championship winning team. I would prefer to be driving at the races of course, but working with Red Bull Racing on the development of their car and providing them with feedback throughout the season is the next best thing.”

    Christian Horner commented: “It was entirely logical for Sebastien to continue with Red Bull having been a member of the Junior Team since 2004. He already knows the team well from his time with us in 2008 and has gained significant race experience over the past three years. He will complete important test and simulation work for us throughout the year and will be in attendance at each grand prix.”

  • F1: 2011 Australian Grand Prix – Sebastian Vettel is the winner

    Sebastian Vettel won the 2011 Australian Grand Prix. He had huge battle with Lewis Hamilton, but he managed to create a 2.4 second lead at the end of the opening lap.

    As you may suggest – Lewis Hamilton became second, who finished 22 seconds behind the winner and third is Vitaly Petrov, who was faster than Fernando Alonso with a second. The Russian took a risky move with only two pit stops, but as we can see, it was a brilliant one.

    Fernando Alonso had a very bad start and was at 9th place, but he recovered and finished at the seventh position after just two laps. After that he benefited from a penalty given to Jenson Button, so he grabbed fifth place. In the end of the race, Alonso managed to overtake Webber and finished for 4th place.
