Anyway, good luck, plucky Suzuki.

Red Bull Racing Is The NASA Of Cheating
Mercedes-Benz is the official victor of the Formula One Constructor's championship, but for me, it doesn't matter who won officially. The way I see it, Red Bull Racing keeps winning everything. Because they keep cheating in the cleverest of ways, which is what F1 is all about. Don't get me...
