   I see Button is having trouble with the grip levels again (massive lockup)!

   2012 Goodwood Festival of Seed? A celebration of agricultural advancements and history?

   Did RBR resticker the RB7 between Vettel and Webber? I see that that the T-cam color and driver number decals match the driver in the car at that point (apart from Ricciardo obviously).

      @codesurge Most likely. Vettel was there on Saturday afternoon, Webber on Sunday.

   How were the Red Bull drivers able to drive the RB 7? I thought the testing ban meant that they could only drive cars at least two years old (ie. the RB 6 or older)?

         Yep, that’s their regular donut car now! Button drove it in the street demo in Budapest, and Dublin as well I think.

         I guess Goodwood doesn’t count as a test day, that would be unfair, but proper track tests like Kimi’s comeback drive do, so he used an old Renault for that.

      Answer is either:

      It’s a “filming day”

      Or

      It’s the Red Bull “show car” – a cobbled-together RB2 or RB4 chassis with whatever parts are lying in the spare parts bin at the end of the previous race weekend….

      @tdog They can use a year-old car on demonstration tyres. They did two runs per day for three days on a one mile stretch of tarmac, there isn’t much you can learn from that.

         Thanks Keith. I wasn’t trying to suggest RBR was gaining an unfair advantage, just curious as to the precise limits of the rule :-)
