Wirdheim cancels F1 test due to Red Bull’s tactics!
Bjorn Wirdheim has cancelled his scheduled testing session with the Red Bull Racing outfit, scheduled to take place tomorrow, because it was made clear to him that they wanted a Red Bull sponsored driver to race alongside Christian Klien in the 2005 season.
It appears as if Red Bull are not as interested in putting the best man in the seat, rather the man with their brand on their helmets as Bjorn was to be given inferior equipment so that F3000 champion Vitantonio Liuzzi would really shine in comparison and his own talents would be tarnished as a result.
When Bjorn, who outperformed Christian Klien more often than not in the 2004 season, even putting in lap times better than those of Mark Webber at times, discovered that his job this week was simply to make Liuzzi look good, the Swede asked to be let out of his responsibilities.
It seems as if Red Bull have already chosen their 2005 driver line-up, now all we need is official confirmation….
