No pole for Red Bull in Oz , but the day is a sad one for another , more important reason .
Chaleo Yoovidhya , the creator of the original formula for the energy drink , has passed away at 89 years of age . In a way , we have him to thank for this team , as , without him , Mateschitz would not likely have found the same fortune , and spent it so freely across motorsports in general , and on F1 specifically . RIP . I hope to see tribute , perhaps black arm bands , at Red Bull tomorrow . |

Actually, I thought it was light hearted humour, with a little product relevence in the form of a pun added for good measure. Have a little respect , sir . Note that Dave wrote "Too soon ?" . My comment on his answers his question . "Too soon" , indeed , on the very day we get news of his passing . |

Oh save the sanctimonious claptrap. Somebody that none of us had heard of until this thread passed away at a ripe old age having amassed a billion dollar fortune and enjoying a long and successful life. I made a light-hearted remark about the slogan of his hugely successful invention. Forgive me if I'm not crying into my cornflakes or gnashing and wailing while clutching a can of fizzy crap shouting "WHY GOD WHY?" at the heavens. I tend to agree with this. Who of us actually had known this guy before this thread? |

Its not quite the same as a 20 year old driver passing, when he had a life ahead of him. This guy was successful and had a great life. So RIP |
