Another cautioning for Dane factor is major sponsor Red Bull’s current deal expires at the end of 2015 and he is unwilling to make important commitments like new driver contracts until that situation has been clarified.
The contract of Lowndes’ teammate of nine years Jamie Whincup’s also expires at the end of 2015. In more settled commercial conditions in the past Dane has signed them to new deals more than a year ahead of time.
