Nice video and Lisa Lilley is quite hot for a scientist. And how old is she? 25? And already a doctor degree....wow.
Shell have always been the best in F1. They dominated the 80´s with McLaren and the Naughties with Ferrari.

Mansell, now aged 56, even floated the idea of a return to Formula One.
He is currently involved in the Le Mans series driving for Team LNT alongside his son Greg.
But, when asked if he might return, said: "Never say die. If there's a good Formula One seat, who knows? Why not, it would make a bit of history, wouldn't it?"
"We're pulling four to four and a half G in these cars so who says anything can't be done these days? It's about having the opportunity."

@ Force India's gaffe.
@ the thought of Mansell returning.
I wonder if Ian Phillips will end up getting a full-time BBC role?

they do not want to goto that extent now, that is why the 'S' is not completely shown, at the end of the season the 'S' will hopefully be completeiceman1 wrote:S for Superman ?Kevin Clark wrote:http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9512/411162816.jpg

The Saubers are easy on the tyres. Could be advantageous

That's F1 Rejects preview for Virgin this season. It made me laugh out loud, hope you enjoy it.As expected, Richard Branson brings the Virgin name into F1 in a naming rights capacity by jumping into bed with fellow first-timers Manor Grand Prix. The Virgin was the first car from one of the new teams to be uncovered, and designer Nick Wirth's flirtation with an all-CFD creation shows. The body of the Virgin features a lot of simple lines and curves, but lacks some of the refined detail and adjustments that others develop through wind-tunnel testing. Still, it's worth experimenting with new techniques.
How testing has gone should make them nervous about whether they can go the distance on a race weekend, due to recurrent problems with leaking fluid and mounting issues for the front wing, and whether they can handle the pace of the field. The Virgin has regularly come last on the timesheets, usually five to six seconds behind the best. How well they can tap into their potential and fully consummate the relationship between chassis, engine and tyres will determine if Virgin can end up on top of the newcomers.
At least the Virgin can look good doing it - that paint job has got many people's juices flowing. In the cockpit, Timo Glock is fast and relatively experienced and will coax the car along, and based on recent form Lucas di Grassi is an exciting prospect as well, but in reality neither are likely to score this year. Virgin won't be blowing anyone away in 2010, but if they bed down the basics, squeeze all they can out of the VR01, keep trying and not lie down, they will be bang on target for next season.
