Newey looks pleased... Webber happy... what more do we want at this stage? I would be backing Newey to come up with something exciting that will be competitive.

I believe, and this is just my opinion, that Newey is one of the best out there and can certainly make a difference. I also believe that Mark is not only very talented but very highly regarded by most of the paddock.
If the car is up to the task - reliable... fast - then I see no problem for Mark to be in the points and maybe even challenging for the top 3. As I stated though this is just my opinion and you don't have to :shotgun: :shock2: if you disagree.... which I am sure many of you will.

Don't worry jacfan, I won't shoot down anyones opinions and believe no one should. I don't mind having seeing opinions questioned but not shot down. I enjoy reading as many different opinions as possible. :D

Last year I almost walked away from this site with some of the negative posts that some people made. :cry:

Or has Piquet Jr reserved that place already :?:
I suspect Fisi may be out of a job by August, Webber has said he will go where Flavio tells him to go......do I sense a healthy debate brewing?? :lol:
Are you then predicting Webber may be driving for Renault before the end of the season ?

If he impresses in the Red Bull (he should) and if Fisichella stuffs up a few races (he could and maybe would) then it could happen and then Webber will be in a top car - finally. It is entirely possible :D

I think the intakes are the same as the ones on the McLaren. No surprise really

Newey is one of the best out there but sometimes he goes overboard. I recall the McLaren that never raced or did it race once.

But I hope that this one is a good car that gives Webber a real chance to shine!

I for one would love to see Webber get his chance to show us all what he can do. :drive: Beep beep... move over Alonso... :drive:

It is not exactly a do or die kinda deal for Webber but I agree with you. If he does good he'll end up driving for Renault for sure. Unless Fisi wins the WDC title of course... But I do not see it happen.

Newey will be taking some risks and he has enough credit to do so. He'll make RBR more competitive I think. Competitive enough to get the 6th spot or maybe even 5th if BMW chokes.

Maybe not just yet. But that could happen in a year if MW moves to Renault racing against Fernando in the McLaren...

IMHO the Red Bull is going to be a quick and reliable team this season. With the engine freeze, the Newey tweaked chassis and DC & MW, they are shaping as a podium finisher.
