Teams? Starting in the Sitxies, Jim Clark with Lotus Then it was Ken Tyrell's team with JYS. James Hunt With McLaren Lots of driver followed ...Vittorio Brambilla, Giles Vlleneuve, Rene Arnoux,Didier Peroni , Gerhard Berger, Jean alesi. Damon Hill,Reubens Barrichello, David Coulthard, Giancarlo Fisichella,Felipe Massa,Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso...and some more. Williams, Honda and Renault I followed at various times. I always had a soft spot for Minardi too...
This year I would love to see Ross Brawn's new team do well, especially with his two drivers. Kubica and Vettel should be interesting to watch this year. If I had to pin my colours to one flagpole for 2009,then would be Alonso and Renualt. But at the end of the day. f1 is the star for me. Good hard racing Is what I like to see.

I'm sorry you saw that burt, I just read a great article about him in my F1 racing magazine, he was the master apprentice.

BTW my cousin in law's dad used to film the races at Long Beach, and he still has some of the footage.
