Pepe Jeans takes to the podium in Malaysia


Wahey - the Pepe Jeans-sponsored Red Bull team took first and second places in yesterday's Malaysian Grand Prix.
After a disappointing start to the season with Sebastian Vettel's car limping out of the first two races due to mechanical failures, despite taking the pole in both, yesterday the entire team had plenty to celebrate about.
Vettel shot from third to first on the first lap, which is where he stayed until the end of the race.
We're all looking forward to the next leg on April 18 in China. Fingers crossed the cars keep hold of their mojo.

Vettel goes from pole to pain


In case you didn't already know Pepe Jeans is sponsoring the Formula One Red Bull team this season. So, you can imagine our groans of intense frustration yesterday when, after winning pole position for the second consecutive race of the season, we lost out for the second Grand Prix of the season due to mechanical problems.

In the first Grand Prix in Bahrain, faulty spark plugs led to Sebastian Vettel dropping from first place to fourth, while in Australia it was Vettel's brakes that failed. "I had some sparks coming up from the left wheel," said Vettel. "We didn't know what it was so I wanted to pit. A couple of corners before the end of that lap I had a huge vibration building up and, when I touched the brakes going in to turn 13, I had some sort of failure and ended up in the gravel. It breaks my balls not to win but there's a long way to go in this championship," added Vettel, who ran off the Albert Park track in 2009 while fighting for second with BMW's Robert Kubica.

It's clear that Red Bull has the fastest car on the track,but until the team irons out its reliability issues it doesn't look like Pepe Jeans will be sharing its place on a Formula One podium.
