Red Bull Racing is the old Jaguar team for interest and Toro Rosso is of course the Minardi team from last year

Do they have big cans of red bull on the back like the cars you see driving about.

BMW is the old Sauber
Midland is the old Jordan

Webber & Coulthard for Red Bull next year could be good - it'll be an Adrian Newey designed car for next season as well (Ex-McLaren Design Maestro).

They'll be up there next season...

Of course, BMW - forgot about them

Adrian Newey is also ex-Williams in their glory days if I remember rightly.

Not a bad bloke to have on your side.

What's Gascoigne up to nowadays? Only remember him for his name, wasn't he at BAR recently?

Totally lost interest about 6 years ago and have really struggled to get back into it, it's not what it used to be unfortunately. Who says technology is a good thing?

Mike Gascoigne left Toyota earlier this year. Don't think he's got a new role anywhere else as yet.

Mike Gascoigne was sacked by Toyota and I'm not sure where he is now...

Newey has designed four Championship cars at least, he's considered the best designer there is:
Villeneuve and Hill (Williams), Hakkinen x 2 (McLaren)

F1 has two more years before it'll get better - 12 teams in 2008 (plus Prodrive with Dave Richards), new engine rules just announced ("Boost Buttons" for overtaking).

Sure he left by mutual consent to spend more time with his family rather than keep commuting to Toyota HQ in Cologne. I might have misheard that though.

I lost interest about 5 or 6 years ago as well really. Was really dull when ferrari were loads better than anyone else. I might start watching again if Button starts winning a few more races though.

aka Sacked - he probably got a nice bonus for "leaving to spend time with the family"

Remember Andy King left by mutual consent....
