Good luck. It would be great to see them do well.

Do you think you'll get Alonso?
I think there might be a good chance. The press seems to not be letting go of the rumours.

Obviously i know nothing about the situation it's just my guess.

Has Geoff Willis made a big difference to the team? It looks like he made a huge difference to Honda considering what happened when he left.

Top Bloke!! I've never spoken to a nicer Technical Director whilst being in F1!! He even comes down to see us in the factory to see whats going on. No Technical Director has ever done that whilst i've been there.

His input is going to do wonders for the team.

Yeah, looks like someone upstairs was watching out for me.

Cheers for insight CG

I'm sure it's probably not that exciting when you do it day to day, but to the interested fan it's fascinating

My pleasure. Sorry i can't divulge more technical stuff but we are vowed to a contract of secrecy.

I'm sure RB now has a force to match most of the top runners, so watch this space.

I hope so - it would be great to see another team joining the 'premier league'.

I do worry, however, that that this isn't possible with a 'customer' engine. Even with all the restrictions on engine development these days, I wonder how equal the engines used by the 'supplied' teams are?
