That was all I asked, clear results for both Saturday’s qualifying and Sunday’s race results. And, I got them. I didn’t get all the downloads and subscription requests I’m usually bombarded with. No, straight to the point giving the information I requested… perfect. Just hope I can find this space everytime. Thank you, much appreciated.

Your information was spot on, not a load of waffle about downloading and subcribing to that particular page which takes far too long before getting the information I wanted. No, straight to the point, perfect. Just hope I can continue to find your page everytime there’s a F1 weekend. Or any other information I need.
Thanks, much appreciated.

My comments on the championship result are maybe not as you would imagine. Although I’m chuffed for Brawn G.P. and all who work there, I think this championship was somewhat suspect. Brawn, who had nothing at all to lose and everything to gain, took a chance with something that might be considered illegal, resulting in a disqualification. The gamble was considered worth the risk and payed off. Other constructors… epscially McLaren, who always seemed to be in trouble with the F.I.A. just stood back and watched. After the smoke had cleared and no action had been taken against Brawn, other manufacturers followed suit but, not before Brawn had secured a very commanding lead. No wonder they say Button’s middle name is luck.
I would have liked to see Barrichello win the championship. He has driven and worked hard, always playing second fiddle and not without some horrendous accidents racing against such people as Senna and Brundle.
Thanks again, and much appreciated.
