Torro Rosso unchanged driver paring for 2013: It’s a busy day for news – my fingers can’t keep up. Anyway sacking both their drivers last year and then amusingly producing a fairly woeful car, it was inevitable that the Italian Red Bull team would announce no change in their driver line up for 2013. There’s not reallt a lot to say about this, other than what I’ve said already. If I can think of something to say I’ll add it later or if anyone else has ideas please feel free to comment. End of announcement!
FIA Press Conference Shedule: Abu Dhabi
| DATE | TIME | GUEST |
| Thursday, Nov 01 | 1500 hrs | Jenson Button (McLaren) Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber) Felipe Massa (Ferrari) Vitaly Petrov (Caterham) Charles Pic (Marussia) Daniel Ricciardo (Toro Rosso)——————————— |
| Friday, Nov 02 | 1900 hrs | Ross Brawn (Mercedes) Antonio Cuquerella (HRT) Pat Fry (Ferrari) Andrew Green (Force India) Remi Taffin (Renault Sport F1) |
Wow, Pat Fry – there isn’t a chance in hell the row over upgrades with Alonso and the near miss F1 2012 twittergate #3 won’t be mentioned. Force India appear to be turning up a week late, but Andrew Green predictably not be able to confirm anything about Nico’s replacement as the list of candidates is still growing. Petrov, Pic and Ricciardo will be the naughty boys on the back row. Hopefully someone will ask Ross about his relationship with ‘Lord Lauda’. Poor Antonio will be quizzed as to whether the cars have been to Kwik Fit for some new brakes. Kamui will need tissues as its likely to be his last appearance at such an event and most people won’t even know who Remi Taffin is (something to do with V6 2014 engines).
