‘Managers will have to master the different rules of the game, including; no substitutions being permitted during matches, the off-side rule not yet being introduced to the game and players flying into tackles without fear of being sent off or conceding penalties.

Mark Webber has been accused of not drinking enough Red Bull before races, and that is why he has been playing second fiddle to Sebastian Vettel.

“We have told Mark to down Red Bull before a race so he can up his game,” a ‘team member’ called ‘Hans Onzeviel’ ‘said’.
