C'mon cosworth.
any credence to the Redbull Porsche buyout rumors? That would springboard them right into the thick of things.

EDIT: Guess I should have done some more digging, it appears Aston Martin will become the primary sponsor.

Seems like Red Bull is talking to a lot of companies about 2021. AustinJ427 that article mentions Aston/Cosworth as a possibility, they were partners with Redbull for the Aston martin Valkyrie. Aston is also opening the "Aston Martin Advanced Performance Center" in 2019 which is on the Red Bull Racing Campus. It's so far out I doubt anyone will know anything with some weight for at least a year. Something tells me they won't stick with Renault after all the shit talking and unless there is a serious 180 they'd be stupid to go Honda.
BTW: I hate European date format, I thought 03Sssnake's article was from the future!
Edit: Another cool Aston/Redbull article, damn that car is going to be nuts.

From bad to worse. As if a DNF wasn't bad enough last round, Vettel has mechanical failure during Q1 and will start dead last tomorrow. Goddamn it.
Glad to see both McLarens in Q3 (although too little too late).
And props to Gasly for a Q2 appearance at his first F1 race.
Should be interesting tomorrow. Rain will favor the Red Bulls (if Verstappen can make it to the finish that is).

OMGZZZZ, ban Max. He totally caused Vettel's mechanical failure in qualifying. He's always doing this. I'm offended by his driving. BAN HIM FOREVERZ and EVERZZZZ!
Not surprised Vettel moved up from last, 4th is a pretty good showing. I'm just happy the point gap to Lewis grew. Good race for Max, nice win.

Max is pretty fast when his car doesn't break down or he isn't run into.
Seriously? You actually want Hamilton to win?
Haha, yes, I've been a Hamilton fan since he started in the sport.
Watching Seb weave his way through the field was pretty damn awesome. But I can only imagine, with that pace, how much more fun it would have been to watch him go head to head with Max. Although, chances are, that would have ended in a collision and Lewis would have hauled in another 25 points.
Overall, fantastic race and a fitting end to this era of the Malaysian Grand Prix.

That was an awesome race! I finally got to watch it last night. That track is very underrated in it's level of excitement. Vettel had as good of a race as he could have... Now...
Who else thinks that they swapped Vettel's engine with KR's overnight? It's just weird that KR had a great car, then all of the sudden he has the same turbo issues that Vettel was having the day before....Seems convenient..

Throw back to his Red Bull days?
Dude....that's like rooting for Darth Vader, or Agent Smith, or any other mega-villain. The hell is wrong with you?!
Nah. I doubt the power units are designated by driver. Therefore, a quality problem could land on either one of them at random.
Darth Vader was the coolest character in A New Hope.
No argument there!!!!
Every sport needs a villain. Nascar had Tony Stewart, whom I actually like, though I am not a big fan of Nascar.
In the Red Bull days, I viewed Vettel as the villain.
He was the guy who seemed like he could do no wrong in the FIA's eyes, he had an attitude problem, his nuts were in the commentator's mouths, and he was prematurely being compared to the greats. Now that he's been a little humbled by the Mercedes dominance, I can respect his talent a little more.
Never viewed Hamilton as a villain, but I can see the case for it.

Hamilton says he might kneel for the National Anthem in the States.
douchebag gonna douche....this wouldn't surprise me at all, it just reinforces my dislike for him.
I started to respond but I think that pretty sums it up, it's not even his country or anthem. I hope Verstappen crashes into him.
LOL, Max we have a mission for you
He's not genuinely protesting anything. He's just a dbag copycat and what a way to show gratitude to the country hosting the race!
