Suppose its just Mwah; BUTT! I got a little fed up over the past two weekend’s attempts to wind-up much over maligned hysteria over Red Bull Racing’s contrived controversies, a la “Torque-gate” and “Adjustigate;” YAWN! As I even spent the past weekend telling Mary Ellen how I tend to overlook the fact that SPEED is owned by FOX - uze know thee “Fair ‘N Balanced” News Network, right?

Thus, I tend to believe that the extra scrutiny towards this season is simply a result of Master ‘Zebb’s (Vettel) utter obliteration of last year’s season en route to 11-wins and a record 15-pole positions. As surely the powers-to-be are much happier when there’s a Prancing Horse at the top of the leader board, right?
