Today, at the Spa Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, an agreement was reached whereby, from 1st November 2005, Austria's Red Bull GmbH will take over all the company shares of the Minardi Formula 1 team and will be responsible for running the team.

Red Bull will therefore run two Formula 1 teams from the start of the 2006 season onwards.

The second team will be positioned as a "Rookie Team" and this and the current Red Bull Racing will operate independently of one another and compete against one another on the track.

# The main reasons for Red Bull deciding to enter a second team starting in the 2006 Formula 1 World Championship are: 1. Red Bull has more talented drivers than it has available cockpits. This meant there were only two ways of helping up-coming drivers: either place them in other teams or to increase the number of cockpits available to us. After much careful thought, Red Bull decided to go with the second of these options.
# 2. Looking at the current state of Formula 1 we feel that the second team will be able to maintain its current assets while also being able to generate its own income in the future, in order to become almost self-financing.
# 3. This acquisition also means that Red Bull now has a second vote in any matters raised regarding the future of Formula 1.

At the moment, no decisions have been taken as regards the name of the team, its management nor its drivers.

alt aspect interesant va fi daca 1 echipa ramane pe Michelin si una pe Bridgestone....ce n-ar da japonezii pt un cal troian in curtea francezilor

[MikeTekRacing]

red bull nu au anuntat inca nimic, din cate stiu Michelin vor anunta in aceasta seara echipele lor pt 2006....din ce se pare Toyota si Williams, probabil si RedBull....daca nu trec RedBull, devine si mai interesant.

[MikeTekRacing]

ideea e ca pot rula 4 masini 2 redbull, 2 "minardi" identice in teste cu gume diferite...conditii IDEALE pt comparatie.

edit: rel cu sauber sunt destul de reci acum

(am editat pt ca am citit prost)

eu sunt convins ca nici raikkonen nu poate spune unde va fi in 2007.

superb articol !

[VIPER]

In curand masina cu 5 roti si eleroanele pe laterale, paralele cu axul drumului... Astia chiar nu au ce face???

[VIPER]

Explicatia cu overtaking-ul si cu aerodinamicitatea crescuta care impiedica depasirea mi se pare vag aberanta... Da, exista efecte multe in spatele unei masini, dar sa fie oare asa de uriasa diferenta intre o masina de F1 si una de NASCAR, DTM, CART, INDY? Nu cred, sincer. Si aia se depasesc in draci...

[VIPER]

Hmmm, interesant! Deci mai am de studiat....
Dar sunt urate cu spume...

[MikeTekRacing]

mie nu mi se pare deloc o idee rea sa umblam acolo
daca baietii dela aero zic ca merge treaba, go for it

Under the supervision of Suppo and former rider Randy Mamola, the seven-time champion completed a total of 42 laps with a best of 2:05.98, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

"He's having plenty of fun and he's going fast too: on the straight he immediately went over 300km/h," Suppo told the Italian newspaper.

"That was very good. Here, with a Ducati 999 road bike, Troy Bayliss did a 2:03. This was the first time for Michael on a GP bike, so you can only applaud him."

[MikeTekRacing]

hehe....faza aia a fost primul titlu..ce vremuri

[EvilOne]

Am auzit ca Yamaha i-a propus lu Schuey sa vina la MotoGP, in curind se va lupta pentru titlu.

[VIPER]

Deja devine interesant!!! Calificari in genul Super-pole-ului din DTM, gume mai multe, etc! Le trec cu vederea eleroanele oribile! http://www.garajul.r...tyle_emoticons/default/thumb.gif

[MikeTekRacing]

da, asa se aude
eu cred ca sunt doar zvonuri, nimeni sanatos la cap nu l-ar angaja.

Michelin nu vor sa piarda avantajul pe care il au. logic, nu?
dar ferrari cand aveau avantaj nu s-au plans ca urmeaza schimbarea regulamentului.

nu . regulamentu spune ca fiecare echipa tre sa-si proiecteze/construiasca propriul sasiu ..
si chiar daca n-o sa fie o copie 100% a BAR . va avea acces probabil la BAR data ..

vezi sauberul de anul trecut care era F2003GA copiat....poreclit "the blue ferrari"...avea ceva f putin schimbat ca sa treaca testul

[EvilOne]

Pai nu era vorba ca vine Webber in locul lu Fisico? Sau nici ala nu e impresariat de Briatore

[VIPER]

Tocmai ma holbez la o poza ffff interesanta! Paffet testeaza pentru McLaren! (Gary Paffet = Campion DTM 2005).

[VIPER]

Se poate. Acum sper sa il vad in locul dezastrului de Montoya...

oricum ferrari nu ar fi castigat niciodata cu renault, acest simbol in lumea motorsporturului.
hai sa nu exageram, ok?
faptul ca renault nu vor sa ramana in sport e o prob care ii priveste numai pe ei. Deocamdata au castigat 1 campionat de la marea revenire, dupa urmatoarele 4 o sa vorbim de dominare. cam devreme.
daca e mai bine sau nu pt alonso o sa vedem. oricum a luat decizia stiind mai multe despre situatie decat stim noi.
bafta la noua echipa...si bafta renault in a gasi un pilot pe masura lui http://www.garajul.r...tyle_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif (sper sa nu il aduca pe webber)

Fernando Alonso is concerned that his reign as world champion may only last a single year.

Although McLaren Mercedes and his Renault team sped away on superior Michelin rubber in 2005, the Spaniard warned that tyre rival Bridgestone and Ferrari look set to bounce back.

"I'm afraid they could dominate the way they did (in 2004 again)," Alonso told reporters at the Jerez test in Spain.
