[What's Burning?]

They've become a globally recognized brand from a product few admit to drinking... how is that possible?

I guess they know where to put their sponsorship dollars. Must have some crack marketing team.

You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Red Bull blow up balloon.

Eh? The Red Bull drink has massive brand loyalty, and it's a favourite of some of the most influential groups in the world - such as entertainment writers and University/College Students (Who are hugely attractive to advertisers because they're harder to reach and tend to be seen in some regards as trend setters,partly because they're the coming generation). Red Bull is huge, and it's anecdotal significance in our culture is plain to see. People frequently refer to any energy drink, and the category as a whole, as Red Bull, and I've seen very few people be shy about admitting to drinking it. Red Bull Cola on the other hand is an abomination against mankind and you should disavow all knowledge of its existence immediately.

Sorry, I went off on one a bit there...Drinks are a pet subject of mine xD

I think that F1 will go electric before it goes diesel! I don't mind smaller turbocharged gasoline engines in F1 but I draw the line at diesels!

I draw the line at 8 cylinders minimum!!!!!!!!
Give me 10 or 12 to be happy.
Maybe some turbos too.......
Ground effects.......
Refueling brought back.......
No minimum weight.........
Active suspension.........
Now we are talking...Muhahahahaha
