I think what Redbull are doing for motorsport is quite commenable...even if it is largely for their own gains (ie lots of tv coverage, and the brand association).

Sad that Skoda are pulling out as a works team, only hope they come back entering another form of motorsport soon. (ie like Seat did when they left rallying and then entered touring cars).
