Red Bull have secret celebration plans

A German newspaper claims that Red Bull has arranged a post-race party in addition to 80 special "2011 world champion" caps, one for every member of the team, to be shipped to Singapore, in case Vettel seals his second crown. The driver himself is more circumspect: "First you have to win the lottery and then you worry about what to do with the winnings."

Yabba-dabba-doo! A new hat, that's what I'm talking about.

Horner Christian Horner

Fantastic Seb, one more perfect drive on Sunday, you can wave that finger for me, and we'll all be throwing those hats around.

wibbah Mark Webber

Strewth, you're tempting fate there fellas.

sbstnvtl Sebastian Vettel

I guess you'd know about tempting fate Mark, like every time you get on your bicycle. Ha!

Horner Christian Horner

I'd just like to clarify Mark that we give you absolutely equal status, as per contract, but this does not extend to wearing a "2011 World Champion" hat.

wibbah Mark Webber

Fair dinkum guys, I'll be the only team member not wearing one, what hat am I supposed to wear then?

Horner Christian Horner

I've discussed this with Adrian and we believe your regular Red Bull driver hat will suffice.

sbstnvtl Sebastian Vettel

Maybe you should wear a bicycle helmet Mark, with LOSER on it. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiing-aaaa-diiiiiiiing-diiiiiing-ding!

fernando Fernando Alonso

Hilarious. I heard Red Bull were giving you your F1 car if you win the title.

sbstnvtl Sebastian Vettel

Yes! Yes! This is cool. I get to keep Kinky Kylie.

wibbah Mark Webber

Awesome, maybe I could keep my car too?

fernando Fernando Alonso

You got a nickname for your car Mark?

sbstnvtl Sebastian Vettel

Nope, but the rest of the team call it Desperate Dannii. Ha!

Horner Christian Horner

While that is undeniably hilarious Seb, we must acknowledge Mark as a valuable team member. If he didn't score those 167 points your rivals might be a lot closer to you.

mschumi Michael Schumacher

Wow, another of those spontaneous post-race team parties, with the entire team standing neatly in a line next to the media, you crazy guys.

Horner Christian Horner

Well, we all like to party, Adrian especially, and the BBC red button viewers would be disappointed if we didn't throw one and let the BBC team know a week in advance.

Maybe I could engineer it so my post-race interview with Seb and Mark coincides with the party, and get myself some more air-time.

ej Eddie Jordan

I'd like to commend Red Bull on breathing fresh air into the sport, and showing that motor-racing can be fun. Yes, it's competitive, but in saying that we can just enjoy it also and reward the fans. Back in the Jordan days we were known as the paddock party guys. But lets just hope Renault don't ask one of their drivers to crash into a wall again in Singapore. I'd like to add if I may, that Formula 1 is a very serious business so I believe that Red Bull are showing a total lack of respect to the fans and the sport with these unprofessional celebrations.

Interesting and as concise as ever Eddie. But I think Lee has raised an interesting point here guys. Would the viewers like to see her emerge slowly from the pool at the Red Bull party? I'd love to see your tweets guys, no pun intended.
