OK, next year
DC and most likely CK for Red Bull team 1
SS & VL in team 2
BUT
will both teams be running the same car??? Or will team 2 just use the minardi chassis?
If they are running the same car, maybe team 2 could challenge team 1 a bit.
VL even though he hasnt raced much can go fast, and SS will be a rookie, but he has shown good speed when he was 3rd driver in CAN and USA.
What is your guys opinion?

Showing speed as a test driver and being a good race driver is very different. We'll see how SS does.

I think RB2, has to build their own chassis -- that's part of the stipulation in F1. Each team must build their chassis, so I'm sure there will be sharing of information, but I think they will be seperate entities under the umbrella of RBR.

RED BULL SEEKING NEW MICHELIN DEAL
Last Updated: Tuesday, 27, September, 2005, 19:15


Red Bull Racing has asked tyre manufacturer Michelin to supply its second team next season.

The Minardi outfit, which Red Bull recently bought from Paul Stoddart, currently uses Bridgestone rubber while RBR runs Michelins and is committed to doing so in 2006.

With Minardi set to morph into a Red Bull

i'm told RB 2 will be re-badged minardi's until funds get sorted out and it will provide the hope of bringing in more US young drivers. But in its 2nd season..
