Title: Fast VAG's
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 18 September 2015, 21:39:58
In other V.A.G. news, the BBC are reporting that Volkswagen are preparing a takeover of Red Bull Racing!  Apparently the plan is that VAG will own the team and Red Bull will continue as sponsers.  :)

Seems like a good fit to me as V.A.G. have had plenty of experience over the years with air cooled rear engined cars... VW Beetle, Porsche 911 and the mighty Skoda Estelle!!  8) 

I wonder what they will call the team?  ???  Plenty of brands to choose from: Volkswagen, Lamborghini, Bentley, Audi, Porsche, Bugatti, Seat......   ::)   No it has to be Skoda F1 dosn't it?  :D  ;D

Hope they don't do a Honda and build an engine that lacks power, the turbo is way to small on that.

Red Bull really have spat their dummy out, years of domination, then soon as they are not so good start pointing fingers.

They will still do alright this weekend. Got a good chassis, not a power cct. Heck Alonso might even be in the top ten too.

Force India already taken, but Force Curry or Force Vindaloo would be entirely appropriate. :o :-[ ;D

If its badge'd as an Audi, will only ever come second.
Because when ever you look in your mirror there's always a knob in an Audi behind flashing his lights ;D
