I imagine that would depend on how many cans of fizzy drinks they think they can sell in Germany/Switzerland and for what price vs. how many they think they can sell in Australia/UK and for what price.

Out of interest, can anyone tell me how much a ca of Red Bull sells for in Germany/Australia? It's around the £1.40 mark here and pretty darn popular, although I confess I don't drink it. I tried Monster following their advertisment on JB's helmet during 2009 and think it tastes much less like bull's piss than Red Bull does (I think that's the secret "Taurine" ingredient actually ). But please don't ask me how I know what Bull urine (or perhaps semen) tastes like, I am using my imagination!

Anyway, back to topic, I for one am looking forward to a VERY interesting race. With LH having a spare set of tyres more than JB and MW having to fight his way through the field it should be a good one!
I doubt that the RBR driver relationship will have anything to do with global sales projections.

Its about AUS$2.50 - 3 for a 250ml can depending where you get it, and im not sure as to what you think bulls piss tastes like, but i believe it tastes more like apple juice

Here in Switzerland it is 1.70 CHF per 250ml can.
In Germany it is around 1€-1.20€ including 25cts you get back if you return the can.

But I don't really think they would be favoring Vettel because of sales potential for their drinks.
They might consider marketing potential in that way, when they have to decide between two drivers for Webber's seat.

where can you buy RedBull for a € in Germany? It's more like 1,90€ here in Stuttgart, thats why I drink Monster, "only" costs 1,75€

Did you guys know there is cocaine, in the Red Bull drinks. In China and Sweden you must be above 15 or 18 years old or something... It's like the Coca Cola with cocaine.

Guy don't drink the Red Bull, then they cant aero test a flexible front wing ;)

I did a quick search and found it for 99ct at Norma's website.
To be honest I lived in Switzerland for some time now, so 99ct vs 1.7CHF seemed possible for me, as the food is usually quite a bit more expensive compared to Germany. Probably the 99ct I found is some special offer then if you say it's more expensive.
