Thought you might find this interesting
Here's an article out of London's Evening Standard from last night:
Sorry the text's a bit ragged, but I had to reduce the size of the file from 500Kb! It's still readable, though (just).

Interesting picture.
I was told yesterday that Toyota actually have the biggest budget- about £200million. God knows what they blow it on!
As regards the prices- I was told that the teams are given the tyres- it's advertising for the manufacturers!
What are the 'gear ratios' at £250 each? do they mean the gears themselves? Maybe I should make Jaguar an offer- I make 'em much
cheaper than that!

I've done about 500 of Mclaren's now- that's more than enough for Jaguar! It's not like they're gonna get anywhere
anyway!

Yeah the lad button looked good,although his teammate looked good too so the BAR honda must have come on leaps and bounds.

The BAR was supposed to be a good car last year, just let down by tires developed for the Red cars

Mate of mine at uni is driving in the TOCA formula renault this year, after winning the BARC F Renault championship last year in his first season.
Hope fully will do well as he has had a hard time getting the sponsorship together. So look out for james gornall, the next kimi raikonnen!! Shame
they wont be showing on the telly.

an interesting point about arch poseur button
5th season, and still not even a podium.
not the great white hope everyone thinks........
I hope ferrari win everything in sight this year. that way people will know what an uncompetitive money driven / biased farce it has become.
