2005 British Grand Prix

Anyone else think the Red Arrows are overrated?

I've been watching Aero display teams for years and tbh the French and Italian display teams are so much better. The Russians are absolutely psycotic though. :D

I'd rather watch any of them over the Red Arrows

Oh..and another bit of news...

http://www.f1i.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=644&Itemid=32 said:
Formula One team Jordan, to be renamed 'Midland' next year, has sealed a 2006 engine deal.
Team boss Colin Kolles said the lid would be lifted 'very soon,' and maybe at Silverstone.

Jordan reportedly neared a $10m deal with German carmaker Mercedes-Benz, but is thought to have instead renewed the Toyota connection.

''We wanted to announce it in Indianapolis,'' Kolles said, ''but (that) was the wrong moment.''

The Silverstone based team, meanwhile, will again test the 'b' spec car next week - in France - in view of debuting it at Hockenheim, the next race.

Looks like Toyota for Jordan then - leaving a set of Merc engines for Williams maybe?
 
The obvious question is why???

There's many many MANY better looking women in the pitlane than her. :D

I think that being in Red Bull has allowed him to show more of his personality that he was able to at McLaren.

YOKOHAMA TO SUPPLY FIA WTCC TYRES
06.07.2005

Following an invitation to tender the FIA has appointed the Yokohama Rubber Company to supply the control tyre for the 2006 FIA World Touring Car Championship. The Japanese manufacturer replaces Michelin who have supplied the FIA Touring Car Championship since 2001.

Yokohama will also supply the control tyre for the first FIA European Touring Car Cup event to be held on October 26, 2005.

Not obviously important - but Michelin were supplying the WTCC since 2001 until earlier this year - they've awarded the contract to Yokohama..

May not be related to USGP - but who knows...
