   I actually just got into F1 recently and find it fascinating, but it’s a hard sport to just jump into. All the resources that I’ve found are very technical and confusing for someone who’s just trying to understand what’s going on.

   Do you know where I could find an introduction to the sport?

   Hey folks. Can you look at updating these links to exact web pages to watch online. It would be great if those sites also show the practices and race. Maybe we can ask other fans to post websites they have found here. Thanks for great site.

   Hello. I’d like to find information about the safety cars and its drivers from the past - since it’s beginning. I know that the first one was in 1973, Canada, and it was a Porsche 914, but I can’t find any more. Can anybody help me, please?

   It’s easy to view the race live in ITV from outside the UK. Just use a British Web Proxy to access the site. Possibly not legal, but works fine.

    Just saw the picture of the 2009 williams at its first shakedown……..

    I suppose next season we can call it.. Diet Formula 1!!

    I’m sure they will grow on us, but that front wing looks so flimsy.

    And they say that the driver can only adjust the wing twice in one lap is that correct?

    How will they stop them from adjusting it 10 times if he wants to???

    As i said I’d say we’ll get used to it, but as long as the racing is close and the grid is mixed up a bit more, I think the changes will be better in the long run.

    And what about KERS??

    I’ve heard in the news recently that some teams KERS systems wont be ready?

    So does that mean some will have an advantage over others??

    One last question. I know its only been a couple of weeks since the season finished but is anyone suffering withdrawal symptoms yet??

    My sundays are so boring now!!!
