I suspect there is more to this than meets the eye. I reckon Red Bull probably did not want to pay Dan the same as Golden Boy, when arguably Dan is the better all round driver. Max is a loose cannon and yeah he will probably mature, but they already have an excellent driver who is already very mature, but unfortunately they don't see it that way. I believe that Renault are probably offering him a better deal and eventually with their resources will overcome their engine problems. Red Bull have taken on the very suspect Honda and this may well take a lot longer to get sorted. Time will tell, one thing is for sure the general public are not privy to all the ins and outs of the F1 circus. I would also bet that maybe Mark Webber may well have been involved in the decision making process as apparently he and Daniel are quite close. And lets face it Webber was well and truly shafted by Red Bull. Oh yeah and a couple of months ago there was a very strong rumour that Adrian Newey had been talking with Renault, that could be another possible fly in the ointment.
Interesting times in F1 for next year that is for sure.
