On the night from Friday to Saturday, burglars have stolen a large number of F1 trophies from Red Bull Racing. The break in caused significant damage as offenders drove a vehicle through the building's front entrance.

Elements of the MP4-18 formed the basis of the MP4-19 I believe, so it wasn't a complete waste.Cuky wrote:jagunx51 wrote:are they planning for RB10-B ? .....same case on newey's mp4-18

If they are planing on something they wouldn't tell us, would they?
As for MP4-18, it never got B version and was never raced. MP4-18 was a failure, MP4-17D did the whole 2003. and in 2004. McLaren had MP4-19 and MP4-19B later in the season
The rear of the RB10 is quite basic for now so this report doesn't surprise me in my opinion. Certainly the rear wing and mounting solution doesn't look concrete to me but let's wait and see.f1316 wrote:There's an article on BBC website where they say one team principle expects rbr to bring a b spec car to Melbourne.

Still, personally I always take the Andrew Benson articles with a pinch of salt...
I also think they will bring a complete new Aero-Spec for Melbourne as they did last year twice. But can we talk about a RB9-B or RB9-C?theWPTformula wrote:The rear of the RB10 is quite basic for now so this report doesn't surprise me in my opinion.

Pius Gassa has even uploaded a sound file of the car running. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q8mwlco0cekfimc/UfZBWKDw5BStruggling World Champions Red Bull have denied claims that they are secretly running the troubled Renault-powered RB10 between the two Bahrain tests.
Spaniard Pius Gasso, a respected and reliable Formula 1 source and former racing driver, said that he believes that an RB10 is running at the Idiada facility in Spain, south of Barcelona, ahead of the resumption of official testing later this week in Bahrain.
Gasso even tweeted a link to an audio file of the alleged ‘secret’ testing.
Another source told Speed Week correspondent Matthias Brunner that Red Bull’s Idiada running would be contrary to the tight testing limitations.
“They would only be able to drive at Idiada with a current car if they had declared it a ‘Promotional Event’ as stipulated by the regulations. And the rules say clearly that it would be purely for marketing and PR purposes,” said the source.
A Red Bull spokeswoman said simply: “We are not at Idiada!” (GMM)

Can't believe they'd do this as surely someone would see them. Until there are photos then it's got to be questionable.Holm86 wrote:There are rumors that Red Bull are testing the RB10 in Spain. Which would be a breach on the regulations.

considering their history of successful F1 engines I'd expect the engine itself is just fine, it is the combo of engine and ERS they have trouble withWilliamsF1 wrote:Surprised that this engine change was done without a test mule other than probably the Ferrari which we saw in December. The teams could have modified a car for the manufacturer to test as the are not covered by the testing agreement.
The engine development schedule is also strange as they were not ready 6 months back. I remember the BMW engine in early 1999 in preparation for 2000. Renault I guess were too cocky in their ability design a turbo engine. Guess the first thing to do would be to drop the engine name from Energy F1
