I read that as well. Sir Frank would only be going after Monty if Webber was definitely leaving and I can't see why Mark would want to leave Williams to go to Red Bull, McLaren maybe but I doubt RedBull.
(So it is probably true)

RedBull are rumoured to be using Renault engines next year.......Briatore may have a hand in this...

It would almost be like a homecoming for MW going to RBR with the benefit of a strong engine.

That sounds a bit more likely with the Renault engines.

With the new Anti-development tech regs being reluctantly agreed to by the teams the engine manufacturers are keen to sign other teams to their engine supply, or retrench major numbers of people.

Webber's move to Williams was seen as a major step forward.

Isn't it amazing that Red Bull have more points than Williams this season

Bad luck to Webber. Problem with going back to Red Bull is thatI don't think they will have a winning car next year or even the year after.

Mark has had a LOT of bad luck this year. He just seems to be always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

JayVee, you are forgetting that Red Bull now has the most successful car designer of the past 15 years in Adrian Newey. He has been responsible for nearly half of the championship winning cars during this period, and now he is at Red Bull! The RedBull chassis will be a contender next year. This was his first year with RBR, and if things go like they did when he went to McLaren after Williams, Red Bull cars will be winning by Monaco of next season. If they get a Renault engine, it will probably be sooner than that.

I am aware of that RE30B#16 but even with Newey it will take a few years. Even Newey couldn't win the championship for McLaren in the last few years!!
Next year if they have a good engine they could win a race or two but not the championship. Maybe in 2008 or 2009
