    Red Bull are a drinks company first and foremost and the time will come when the team will be sold (think Benetton from the 90s as a successful F1 team that got sold).

    Never understood why Red Bull have 2 F1 teams. Can't see the benefit to the company.

    Well Torro Rosso had been a good source of drivers for the main team. I guess it's like continental football clubs having a B team

    I know it's incredibly popular and sells all over the world, but I'm with you on this. I just don't understand how they've managed to make what is pretty widely accepted to be an unhealthy and, frankly, rancid flavoured drink into such a money spinner to the extent that they've got their fingers in extremely expensive to run pies like formula one and football teams around the world.

    It doesn't make sense to me, but then again, I don't drink the filthy shit and don't know why any sane person would, so I guess it wouldn't.
  • Costs about a penny a gallon to make, sells at 1.45 per 250ml, do the math I guess

    What makes less sense to me is why no other team have done it
  • Er - Because the other teams are not drinks companies.

    Like asking why dont Red Bull make people carriers - because they are not a car manufacturer.
  • Oh my god Hamilton!!!! Round the outside at 130r in the wet. Regardless of DRS thats one of the all time great passes. A true sporting great at work.

    Not that impressive. See driving like that on the M6 round Birmingham all the time.

    I'm not really into formula 1 but been an interesting race and that pass was quality.

    Hamilton potentially wins by red flag.
  • Not a great way to end the race but lasted longer than it looked it might and I'm sure Hamilton will be happy with that. Decent race with the conditions.

  • Looks bad for Bianchi crashed into the JCB. Hope he's okay
  • The way everyone was whispering to each other and looking stern and with no news or footage being shown, It must be serious. Here's hoping for the best.
  • Looks bad for Bianchi crashed into the JCB. Hope he's okay

    Yeah - very worrying. Horrible parallels with Maria De Villota in terms of crashing into a stationary vehicle.

    Fingera crossed he is ok.
  • Update: Bianchi is unconscious and has been driven by police escort to the nearest hospital. Bad news is that it is 40mins away and the helicopter can't take off due to the weather.
  • I did think why the JCB was out before the safety car especially on a wet track

  • Apparently Bianchi is in critical condition with a serious head injury and currently being operated on according to his dad. Horrible time for those close to him. Good luck Jules.
  • Great over take by Lewis

    Prey for the big bianchi hang in there fella


    Met Murray walker this week at Silverstone legend of a man told me to expect t great things from Lewis this weekend and he wet.t wrong

  • How can that happen shocking mgmt track side
  • people on twitter saying operation was successful and he is breathing unaided

    sounds promising
  • Questions will have to be answered as to why it wasn't a safety car period straight away, and why the JCB was out in a crash site so soon. They always say they have to be careful after a crash as if one car crashed in that area there's a chance another car will do exactly the same.

    Bianchi is one of my favourite drivers, won 2 points for his team against all the odds in Monaco and was tipped for a Ferrari seat once Kimi retires again, really hope he pulls through, recovers well and comes back stronger next season

    Just been on 5live too - lets hope that is the start of the good news.
  • Just how much money can a company make selling cans of liquid caffeine?

    Last year, Redbull turned over slightly more than €5,040,000,000 - that's just over five billion Euros.
  • I have just heard on the news that he had to be taken to hospital by road as the medical helicopter was unable to fly due to the weather, surley the race should have been started if that was the case.
  • Helicopter could fly - and did.

    Didn't want to take him up in it though because of the pressure changes which could have effected his swellings on the brain.

    Do they actually make the drinks? I know the orignal drink is from Thialand and Red Bull bought the the rights to it.
    There was a documentry on the tv a while back about the company and basically they market things rather than produce.
  • Holy shit, that is a sickening impact. I'd kind of figured out that must have been how the accident looked from the photos of where the car finished up, but he was still travelling at a fair old speed when he hit. Looking at that he must have hit his head on the back of the JCB. Amazing he's still alive at all.
  • Can't believe anyone would want to watch a crash like this, haven't clicked on the link and don't ever intend to, it's sickening even thinking of it
  • Holy SHIT!!... How the hell is he still alive, one of the worst crashes I've ever seen in Formula One
  • imagine what the on board camera view looks like. Every car has it, no doubt it will come out, hopefully when he is fully recovered.
