Thanks go to Mike and his man from the wind tunnel (I've always been terible with names) for sorting this trip out for 10 of us from the Central South region to look around the Red Bull F1 factory in Milton Keynes only a week before the start of the new season.
It was nice to see Mike's new GP white F reg 911 Carrera that he picked up the day before. Don't know why he didn't want to park it in the line up though.
Everyone managed to resist the temptation to drink their own body weight in free Red Bull that was all over the factory.
A very good and fascinating day out although I fear I won't be asked back as one of their engineers asked me how the Red Bull factory compared to Williams. I told him the Williams trophy room was a lot bigger.

I was lucky enough to get an invite from Red Bull for one of the testing days at Silverstone.
They are a really laid back bunch and let us go into the pits and see what they were actually testing. The Q&A with the drivers at lunchtime was intersting.
