I haven't had the time, yet, to find out for sure what engines (V-10 or V-8) are in various cars or teams. When I looked at NewsonF1.com's Team list, I didn't get much help. I already know (I think) who's on Michelins (we call them Mushlins here in Indy in honor of last year's fiasco
) and who's on Bridgestones. But I'm waiting for all the talk after this race, hoping that things will settle out.
Sorry Jim for not being able to provide that info. I need to check why that info isn't easily accessible!. But here is a quick summary
All the teams are running V8 engines except Toro Rosso who are running a restricted V10 Cosworth (last year's engine).
Williams are running Cosworth engines
Red Bull are running Ferrari engines
Midland are running Toyota engines
Super Aguri are running Honda engines
And the rest are running their own respective engines!
As for tyres:
Michelin:
Renault, McLaren, Honda, BMW, Red Bull, Toro Rosso
Bridgestone:
Ferrari, Toyota, Williams, MF1 Racing and Super Aguri
Hope this helps

Sorry mate!

My x is an Ausi and that means my son is half Ausi they live in Sydney (I think, they keep moving) so I think that qualifies me as an x honorary Ausi
What do you think?
And if I had a choice I think I'd rather live in Australia somewhere near Newcastle I liked it there
a sort of sub-tropical
paradise.
I had rose tinted specticles
on when I was there though.
Edingburgh that is a bit of a contrast weather wise unless of course your from Melbourne?

It is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that I will be knocking on your door in the near future
The weather and politics here are driving me loopy. I think Max and Tony Blair are related

That doesn't sound very pleasant, perhaps I'll go to Jamaica instead.
