Have just come across this site and read through some of the posts and have now decided to leave a comment.
I have to say this is a really great site on F1, I am a huge fan of the sport, even though I am a Ferrari supported but its really great to be able to read the ins and outs of the other teams, and get their views on curtain things and what they up to to better sponsorship and car design.
