    Red Bull Racing's American Vacation

    Red Bull is not known for being subtle or doing half-cocked publicity stunts.

    So, it's no surprise when its latest video production put former Formula One driver David Coulthard behind the wheel of the team's 2011 F1 car on a street tour around New Jersey and New York.

    The car is the 2011 championship winning RB-7, prowling the Grand Prix of America streets in West New York and Weehawken, N.J.

    The end of the break has been pretty anti-climactic so far with both Friday practices basically rained out. How bad was it? Pic, in a Marussia, took the top time (2m 49s) in the second session...fastest lap last year was 1m 26s. I don't think much practicing happened today...

    Oh I do love the rain! If we have a wet race it could be epic.

    Yes it is a great track, but it has been pared down quite a bit. I think it's sad, but I guess it was needed.

    If you look at the history of races at Spa, it's likely the track will be wet somewhere.

    I think they have a special rule for Spa that if it doesn't rain, they stop the race on grounds of excessive safety......

    ^ Yes rain is a most likely occurrence. While they have made the track safer than it was in the old days it is still one that separates the men from the boys. What ever the weather is will be a good race.

    Well that was a bit of a surprise.

    Looks to be shaping up to be quite the interesting race.
