What’s not going on at the Olympics

Who loves their Red bull? For me, a large can of Monster hits the spot but Red Bull no doubt sponsors some of the best extreme sporting people around the globe.

If you are into your Motocross, it’s only 8 days to go till the next round of the Red Bull Pro Nationals here in the UK.

The technicality is that the engineers were able to change how much torque the engine was giving out, which could affect the drivability of the car. The F1 governing body, the FIA, does not allow any use of traction control, and this was possibly having the same kind of effect and as such giving the team an advantage.

Sebastian did not win here last year, but will want to change that this year to gain points and keep him within sight of the top of the championship.
