The World of Red Bull 15 RED BULL RACING NOTICE BOARD GP JAPAN 2012 JAPAN MARK WEBBER “I’m looking forward to the Japanese Grand Prix as it’s an opportunity to get a top result again on a track I enjoy driving on. Qualifying has not been as strong for us recently and we know this has to be improved. We are focusing on that and, once that’s better, we can make a strong push towards being better positioned at the end of Grands Prix. The Suzuka Circuit has an incredible combination of corners. You have to be very accurate and rhythm is very important. It’s a good challenge for the drivers.” SEBASTIAN VETTEL “I love the Suzuka circuit. In short, it has the most amazing corners and brilliant fans, I really like coming here. In 2011 the country experienced unbelievable diffi culties, so it was extremely important to try and give them some enjoyment and to show our support for their suffering. I wish I had won in 2011, it was my third Formula One race on my favourite track and it still bothers me a bit that I took my world title with a third place. The track itself is huge and almost every metre of it is special.” 2011FLASH BACK Fans were can-tastic… Sebastian clinched the Drivers’ Championship with a podium in Suzuka TRACK RECORD: GP JAPAN Year Position/Driver Position/Driver 2011 3rd Vettel 4th Webber RED BULL SHOW CAR 2010 1st Vettel 2nd Webber 2009 1st Vettel 17th Webber As the race team heads to back-to-back fl yaway races, the show car team will be in Paul Ricard this weekend, for the penultimate round 2008 8th Webber Ret Coulthard of the World Series by Renault.

  • There Aren't Enough Bobbleheads in the World
    Feet Up Friday – There aren’t enough bobbleheads in the world Christine: We’ve just had two back-to-back races and now we’ve got back-to-back Feet up Friday’s, this almost never happens anymore. Mr C: It feels like we are underway, the season is go and it’s been non-stop from the first green flag of the year. This is the first break we’ve had, a little bit of downtime for Sidepodcast, but still we are recording a new show for you, that’s how hard we are working this year. Christine: But after two races in a row we’ve got three weeks off now and then there’s another two races and then there’s another three weeks off, it’s just weird scheduling this calendar. Mr C: It’s a crazy calendar, but it makes sense for the people who have to endure it. If you are a Formula 1 team who has to pay personnel to go off overseas, back-to-back races makes a lot of sense. You can cram in a lot of action, you can cram in a lot of racing in a fortnight, and then you can get back to base and save yourself a lot of money and in these troubled economic times, that is essential, so you can’t hold in against… you cannot hold the calendar against the people who have to go out there and live it. Christine: No. And having three weeks off gives us plenty of time to ponder everything that happened in Malaysia because my goodness that was a controversial race.

  • Energy Drinks and Their Availability to Children and Youth
    ENERGY DRINKS AND THEIR AVAILABILITY TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH SUBMISSION TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE SOCIAL AFFAIRS, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BILL S-228 James Shepherd June 5, 2107 Contact: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Red Bull was the original energy drink which was introduced in Austria, in 1987. Red Bull was introduced to the United States in 1997 and to Canada in 2004. Since then, hundreds of brands of energy drinks and concentrated energy shots have flooded the marketplace worldwide. They are one of the fastest growing segments of the beverage market. Energy drink ingredients include caffeine, taurine, vitamins and in most cases sugar. The caffeine concentration permitted in energy drinks in Canada is 200-400 mg/litre which on the store shelf amounts to 80mg in a small can, up to a maximum of 180mg in larger container sizes. Energy drinks are often confused with other beverages, including sports drinks. While sports drinks such as Gatorade are formulated to hydrate the body, and do not contain caffeine or other stimulants, energy drinks can lead to dehydration. There are a number of caffeinated cross-over products on store shelves, which add to the confusion between the products. MY SON’S TRAGIC STORY On January 6, 2008, my 15-year-old son Brian was competing in a day-long paintball tournament. Around noon, Red Bull representatives came into the venue, where many individuals under the age of 18 were engaged in sport. They handed out free samples of energy drinks and according to police; Brian was witnessed drinking one of these samples.

    COME UP AND GET ME: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF COLONEL JOE KITTINGER PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Joe W. Kittinger,Craig Ryan,Neil Armstrong | 272 pages | 16 Apr 2011 | University of New Mexico Press | 9780826348043 | English | Albuquerque, NM, United States Joseph Kittinger - Wikipedia If you're in a car driving down the road and you close your eyes, you have no idea what your speed is. It's the same thing if you're free falling from space. There are no signposts. You know you are going very fast, but you don't feel it. You don't have a mph wind blowing on you. I could only hear myself breathing in the helmet. Kittinger set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest-duration drogue-fall four minutes , and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere. His records for highest parachute jump and fastest velocity stood for 52 years, until they were broken in by Felix Baumgartner. Kittinger appeared as himself on the January 7, episode of the game show To Tell the Truth. He received two votes. He and the astronomer William C. In , after returning to the operational air force, Kittinger was approached by civilian amateur parachutist Nick Piantanida for assistance on Piantanida's Strato Jump project, an effort to break the previous freefall records of both Kittinger and Soviet Air Force officer Yevgeni Andreyev. Kittinger refused to participate in the effort, believing Piantanida's approach to the project was too reckless. Kittinger later served three combat tours of duty during the Vietnam War , flying a total of combat missions.

  • Press Release
    Press Release OCTOBER 06, 2013 Podium lock out for Renault power in Korean Grand Prix Sebastian Vettel wins Korean Grand Prix for Infiniti Red Bull Racing­Renault, four seconds ahead of Kimi Raikkonen. Lotus F1 Team’s Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean finish second and third to make podium 100% Renault powered. Third all­Renault powered podium this season. Vettel has led 209 of the past 213 racing laps. Vettel’s win gives him a mathematical chance to seal championship in Japan. Renault­powered drivers locked out the podium in today’s Korean Grand Prix, with Sebastian Vettel (Infiniti Red Bull Racing) winning the chaotic race from Lotus F1 Team’s Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean. The perfect podium result is the third time this season that the podium has been 100% Renault­powered.* Vettel – whose pole position yesterday took Renault’s total of F1 poles to 208, equal with Ferrari’s record – opened up a comfortable lead at the start ahead of Grosjean, who had jumped ahead of Hamilton on the first corner. The pair built up a cushion of several seconds over the battles behind and were able to pit and rejoin in formation. Vettel remained in front despite two different safety cars but Raikkonen got the jump on Grosjean before the second safety car period. The Finn had a standout race from P9 on the grid, overtaking Rosberg, Hamilton, Alonso, Hulkenberg and finally his team­mate to score his second consecutive podium. Mark Webber started from P13 as a result of a grid penalty but quickly found himself into the top ten racing with Alonso and Raikkonen.

  • Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics Project
    Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics Project Marc Thomson Kianna Nguyen Jessica Tobey Logan Shapiro Introduction On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner became the first human being to break the sound barrier with his body. He jumped from a height of 38,969 meters at the edge of the atmosphere and reached a maximum speed of 833.9 miles per hour (372.8 m/s). His fall lasted 9 minutes and 3 seconds, setting a world record for the longest duration of a jump ever recorded (“Red Bull Stratos Summary Report”). This project will explore how Baumgartner was able to break the sound barrier and how his velocity and drag force varied with distance and time. The model presented in this project simulates the jump and allows us to estimate the duration of flight, the time in which Baumgartner pulled the parachute, and the time in which he broke the sound barrier. The conclusion of this project is that Baumgartner was able to break the sound barrier due to the variation of the speed of sound depending on temperature, and the small amount of drag force he experienced due to the thinner atmosphere close to where he began his jump. Our Model The following variables will be used to describe different properties of our model. 퐹푑 : Drag Force g(y) : Gravitational Acceleration 휌(푦): Density According to the International Atmosphere Model (built into MatLab) G : Universal Gravitational Constant 퐶푑: Drag Coefficent y : Elevation (or Altitude) A : Cross-Sectional Area 푑푦 푅푒 : Radius of the Earth and y’(t): Velocity 푑푡 푚푒 : Mass of the Earth 푑2푦 : Acceleration 푑푡2 w: Weight m : Mass of Baumgartner In order to find Baumgartner’s speed as a function of time, we begin with Newton’s second law in which net force is equal to mass times acceleration.

  • Australian Story - Mark Webber: Driven
    RELEASED: Wednesday June 24, 2015 Australian Story - Mark Webber: Driven Screens Monday June 29, 8pm on ABC Introduced by friend and former Australian cricketer, Steve Waugh “Formula One, it is very political. It doesn’t take any prisoners, it is definitely not for the faint-hearted,” Paul Stoddart, former F1 team owner. “When you get different nationalities, when you've got more money than you can poke a stick at, egos that you can't jump over, it's always going to be a nice melting pot for aggravation,” Alan Jones, Australian F1 world champion. “You start to see there’s actually just so much personal interest in certain decisions, like wow, that’s probably not in the best interest of the sport. I just happened to be one of the jokers in the game,” Mark Webber. “Our relationship is totally wrapped up in one another and the motor racing. I suppose we’re just soul mates,” Ann Neal, partner and manager. How did a boy from an ordinary Queanbeyan family make it to the top of Formula One? How did he succeed when thousands of others saw their dreams crash and burn? Mark Webber’s rise through the ranks of motor sport is a boy’s own annual of spectacular successes, frustrating failures and some hair-raising crashes along the way. In an exclusive interview prior to the publication of his autobiography, Mark Webber lifts the lid on the high octane world of Formula One racing and candidly discusses the politics and the rivalries that dogged his career. Webber’s hard slog to the top was inspired by his father Alan.

  • Races to Remember – Canada 2011
    Races to Remember – Canada 2011 Hello and welcome to the final episode in the second series of Races to Remember. We’ve had a good run, haven’t we? Reliving the best races that F1 has to offer, particularly those that have been statistically sig- nificant or radically record-breaking. This is our last of seven shows and we’re looking at a race that broke its way into the record books in a number of different ways. We’re talking longest, most safety cars, most pit stops for a winner, every kind of crazy you can think of. You know the race I’m talking about, it’s Canada 2011. 2011 isn’t that long ago, but a quick refresher is required before we dive headlong into the Canadian Grand Prix. It was the seventh race of the season, following the Monaco Grand Prix which had been won by Se- bastian Vettel. The Red Bull driver was leading the championship, with McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton behind him. It wasn’t particularly close at that point, but there was still a good deal of season left for things to get competitive. Sebastian Vettel got his weekend off to a bad start by crashing during the Friday practice sessions but he made good by securing pole position, with two Ferrari drivers behind him – Fernando Alonso ahead of Fe- lipe Massa. Race day dawned very wet, and although as the start approached the downpour halted, the track was still very damp. The strategists had a headache straight away, whether to start on intermediate tyres or full wets, but the problem was solved when the FIA confirmed a safety car start.

    Episode 52– He’s Young, He’s Talented, He’s in the Wrong Team Coming Up Chris: Welcome to Sidepodcast, Episode 52 – He’s Young, He’s Talented, He’s in the Wrong Team. Coming up on today’s show, we discuss the bad week in Singapore, Super Aguri’s reasons for delaying their launch and we run down the 2008 entry list. Intro Me: So, how are you today? Chris: Awful. Me: Why? Chris: It’s been the worst week of my whole entire life. Me: Right, not overdramatic at all then. And what has happened this week to make you so unhappy? Chris: Everything has happened. My broadband died, my laptop’s dying, everything is just wrong. Me: Right, so it’s going to be a cheerful show then. Chris: Yep, upbeat and happy. Me: Wonderful. Good Week/Bad Week Chris: It’s been a good week for Ferrari as Trulli has declared them 2008 world champions already. Talking to Autosprint, he said: “The championship already looks over to me before it’s started. When you watch their performance on the track, your arms drop.” Me: So, do you agree with him, do you think it’s over already? Chris: No. Me: No, I think he’s fallen for their games. Chris: We’re trying to be optimistic, remember? It’s been a bad week for marshals at Jerez because they held up the start of Tuesday’s test. A worker was out on one of the corners, the cars piled up to head out on track, but the red light came on.
