Red Bull's Mark Weber shakes off crash with win at Silverstone


The Pepe Jeans sponsored Red Bull F1 car streaked to victory on its British home turf on Sunday. Aussie driver Mark Webber proved his mettle after a horrific crash in the last leg of the season which many critics claimed would shatter Webber's track confidence.
In a two-finger salute to his detractors Webber pulled off a faultless display in front of a crowd of 115,000. After narrowly missing another collision with team-mate Sebastien Vettel in the first corner Webber went on to take his fifth podium of the season. Come on Red Bull!

Red Bull F1 Team takes Monaco


It was a repeat performance yesterday on the streets of sun-drenched Monaco where the drivers of the Pepe Jeans-sponsored Red Bull F1 team took both the first and second positions on the race winners' podium.
From his starting position at the front of the grid Aussie driver Mark Webber (pictured above with race legend Jackie Stewart, left) took a comprehensive control of the race increasing his lead with every lap until a frustrating succession of four safety car periods stymied his leading margin.


Team-mate Sebastian Vettel played down any disappointment in coming second place for the second consecutive race saying that his main focus through the race was to hold Renault's Robert Kubica's to third place.

According to Mark Webber, it was "the greatest day of my life", although the driver admitted that the championship battle was still wide-open. Red Bull's second 1-2 finish of the season propels the team to the top of the constructors' table, and left Webber and Vettel tied on 78 points at the head of the drivers' standings.

After, a well-deserved evening partying with the team in Monaco, the team today starts packing up for the next leg of the season in Istanbul on May 30th .

Pepe Jeans and Red Bull take first place in Barcelona


The Pepe Jeans-sponsored Red Bull team asserted its dominance over the Formula One world once more on Sunday with a victory at the Barcelona Grand Prix. Hurrah!
Webber led from pole to flag and, although his Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel was out-raced by Lewis Hamilton in McLaren, Hamilton was forced out of the race in the penultimate lap with a burst tyre. 

Hamilton's misfortune resulted in a third place for Sebastian in one of the closest run races of the season so far. 
Back at Pepe's London HQ in Notting Hill we all have our fingers crossed for this weekend's Grand Prix in Monaco. Raced around the streets of Monaco there's little chance of overtaking which means there could be a fair-share of pile-ups.
