Are those trophies actually made of silver and gold? I assumed they got stolen to melt down for the metals.

The BBC are reporting that Red Bull have been broken into and 60 trophies stolen.

They're also reporting that Vettel cased the joint visited last week before moving to Ferrari.

Fernando is smugger than you. Can you confirm you understand that message?
There's a guy over on reddit (hurrhurr what a poo poo site hurr) that's put English subtitles over a Spanish documentary about Nando's last race with Ferrari. It's narrated by Fernando himself so here's a link if anyone's interested.

e: it's a two part documentary, only the first part has been subtitled so far.

Having just watched it, I found it really enjoyable but very bittersweet. Hearing about all of Alonso's insecurities, and how introspective he is juxtaposed by the glitzy, flashy lights of Addis Ababa. There's also a nice moment towards the end where he says he gets to "just be himself" while having dinner with his friends.

Also, Fernando has a silky smooth speaking voice.

According to the Autosport article, Red Bull says they are replicas that were on display, so they aren't worth poo poo.

Impossible maybe in the first world but they will have no problem selling them in the Middle East, China, etc.

Yeah the replicas and the "real" ones are the same thing anyway, only difference is that one was handed on the podium and one wasn't.

Do they clean the trophies when they store them? The only thing that makes a trophy "real" is if it has the fingerprints and champagne from the podium all over it.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because fuck you.
From that police report:

Two cars were involved in the burglary. A silver 4x4 which was used to drive through the entrance and a further dark coloured, black or dark blue Mercedes estate car.

Lock Hamilton and Rosberg up and throw away the key, imo.
