The name will be finally lost after 20 years...very sad. Btw the name "Toro Rosso" means "Red Bull" in italian, very clever don't you think? :|

So red bull will have two teams? ouch....

^^Yup, one junior team. The drivers are Vitantonio Liuzzi and Scott Speed

i thought they said they haven't assigned drivers to cars yet.

It'll be nice to have an American back in F1 racing. With red bull backing, I'm sure he'll have some success. I doubt he'll have any podium finishes, but one step at a time. With a last name like Speed, how slow can he be?

And it's sad that Minardi is gone now. Let's all give a moment of silence to the best Italian F1 team currently.

pardon? They have a lot of history, yes. but currently, ferrari is the best italian team. been like this for the past 10 years. McLaren is the best overall. Team/car.

I heard there is going to be a 11th team powered by Honduh!

Bar-Honda?

How come Jordan is doing bad??? they always were up there, after ferrari, mclaren, and williams...

I don't like Ferrari, so they don't count as a team in my eyes. And who said anything about McLaren? Someone is a sore loser.

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
talking about teams, best...
i automatically thought mclaren. i think by writing you know.

like now, i am thinking, i wish i can kill this guy...

McLaren still has no part in this conversation.

True, they also have plans for a junior team.

Haha, this was the first thing I read when I went to Scott Speed's homepage:

Thank you for stopping by my official website, documenting my quest to become the next American driver in Formula 1.


*chuckles*

I'm pretty sure he'll make it to F1 though, and probably even further then the RedBull team's.

Hmmm I had heard about Minardi being bought by Red Bull, but this American driver is interesting. I'll be watching him next season, which should be good with Honda and BMW having their own teams now.

When i've got nothing to do at the weekend i flick through the channels and watch GP2 sometimes (where Scott Speed currently is). I have to admit, he's very good and probarbly won't stay with Minardi for long, or whatever they're called now.

Red Bull must be extremely rich..2 teams in F1... various air races....and i think....motorbikes too! they must make loads out of selling red bull
