My gosh Galvi, I haven't watched F-1 for years now.
Does Jacques Villenueve still race with them?

Im afraid not he retired from F1 2 years ago now and a great loss.....we had American scott Speed and that ended last year which was a real shame as he was a fun guy.

Me well im a massive an of our own Jenson Button....just needs a good car:British_f
 
We went to Silverstone back in 2000 for the Grand Prix.
Talk about a bloody wash-out!
Of course it rained buckets, getting to the track was a mess from where we had to park, which was quite a walk.
There was a guy buzzing around in a little car with a sign posted on the windscreen that said " Rides to the track,5 quid"..
I bet he made a bob or two that day:mrgreen:

i remember that well....known as the British mud festival that year......good thing is they have announced today they are moving the GP to Donnington park for 2010.....Silverstone deserve to lose it.
