Red Bull pulling out?
Sept.14:
http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns07040.html "There was talk in the Monza paddock that Dietrich Mateschitz's plans for a Team Red Bull USA have been put on hold until 2004 as there is no obvious route for the Austrian drinks firm to take in order to fulfil its dream to have an American-flavored, Austrian-sponsored F1 operation. There is still some vague talk of a deal with the Ford Motor Company over Jaguar Racing but no sign that this is ever going to be agreed to. The question of what Red Bull does in 2003 remains open with the possibilities including a deal to put Enrique Bernoldi into one of the available seats in F1 or for Mateschitz to embark on his American dream by sponsoring either Townsend Bell or Bryan Herta at Minardi. We expect that a decision will be made in the course of the next few days." |

I read on repm.espn.com in a column by Eddie Cheever last week in which he said that Red Bull would be back next year with his team.

it would be a shame to see Red Bull pull out of Cheevers operation as they have been given some very good coverage this year ok good and bad coverage but coverage all the same, hopefully they will stay on next year when things at Cheever racing could be alot more settled than this year and they can make some really good progress

The Red Bull driver search is still taking place next week at Indy I beleive. Aim is to put four Americans into various F3 Championships in Europe.

Red Bull Driver Search and Cheever's team are incredibly different. The sponsorship of Cheever's team was to promote the brand and sell the drink. Cheever's team had nothing to with developing American driving talent (obviously) as oval racing doesn't translate into grooming a future F1 star. This was from a letter I received back from the Red Bull Search program.
It has been hinted that a Red Bull sponsorship of a race team and the Driver Search program could be brought closer in line together, which is think is where the Red Bull to CART rumors have come from. Especially since a vast majority of the chosen young Americans are CART ladder participants. |
