Thank you James, I have just ordered it. As for Ricciardo: he blew the field yesterday and eztablished by far the fastest lap of the 3 days testing

Re: Ed comment before and your reply – it is true that Australia is so insular. What we need is a good marketer that would bring a sponsor from Western Australia – one of the largest and richest natural resources in the world – Gorgon gas? Kimberley diamonds? Goldfields? struggling to find consumer goods here…

Wayne – How good will be you be in Die-casts £26.56 can fetch you 1:18 model, hope you will come out flying colors in “Seat fitting” test. Please write the cheque in name of Paul Stoddard, he was the last person who was accomodating F1 interests of anyone at a small cost

Suprised Hulkenberg is allowed to test under the young driver programme when he has a 2010 race seat confirmed? What’s the deal James?

Bianchi seems to be on the Hamilton/Hulkenberg path, with a talent level as such. Hulkenberg still needs to compete in F1 to affirm himself.

Bianchi isn’t the only top young talent. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Alexander Rossi can do. He’s been very, very impressive so far at such a young age and having to make the transition from easy competition in America to tough competition in Europe.

That’s it! Allen F1!

A team fitted out with the posters from the forum combined with the smallest ever budget in F1!

I reckon we could get our hands on a couple of Super Aguris for about £20!

I’m sure James could get us an ‘in’ regarding a grid slot!

This has got winner all over it!

It will be interesting to see how the different ‘training’ method compares with Hulkenberg. GP2 + feeder team vs deep-end and Rubens.

Renault did not have a true driver program to get to F1, although they have supported many other series.

If you had loads of sponsorship and where prepared to sign your life away then Flav would get you a Renault/Benetton drive.

Yes, very true.

Unfortunately motorsport is still not quite a mainstream sport in Australia, but continued success from Webber and Stoner amongst others will hopefully gradually build up its profile, and make it more appealing to the corporate world.
