[edit] Translation of Scuderia

While an Italian may tell you that 'scuderia' means 'stable', it has come to mean 'racing team' in recent years, and the appropriate translation here is 'racing' as it is intended to be translation of Red Bull's other team. I have changed it accordingly.

It is actually more like "Race Team". Racing would be Corse.

Regardless of what it has come to mean, it does indeed mean stable and should be stated as such.

[edit] Confusing sentance

When the sentance "Red Bull Racing is using Ferrari V8 engines in 2006 and a completely different chassis, so the two Red Bull teams have relatively little in common technically, although both use Michelin tyres." is read with the following paragraph "here has been controversy surrounding the team, as the STR-1 chassis that they are using may be infringing the Concorde Agreement as each team is expected to design their own car and components for it. However, the STR-1 was bought from Red Bull Racing, who are still a F1-entity (this was the same rule that stopped Super Aguri using the 2005 BAR chassis). The team state that RB1 was designed by Jaguar Racing, which is not an existing entity of F1 and is therefore not in breach of the agreement." It becomes very confusing and both statements nullify each other. Hopefully some one can come up with a good encyclopedia like comment. TheEnlightened 21:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Structure

Would anyone object if I restructured this article more on the lines of other team articles? Something like:

Lead

Origins
Racing History
2006 season
2007 season
Sponsorship
Relationship with Red Bull Racing
Results

The current structure isn't going to work going forward to a second season. 4u1e 20:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with that restructuring - I was just about to make a comment about the need to update the page because it still talks as if late-2006 was current. Ian X490 10:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
