30 Day F1 Challenge: Day 22

Day 22 - Which backmarker team would you most like to drive for?


Marussia – the best of the 2 backmarkers. They have raised their bar and are aiming at consistent P16s – P19s, and unlike Caterham who have a good result and then lose the momentum next race, Marussia performs.

Filmmakingis a chance to live many lifetimes.                                                                                        - RobertAltman   Ever since the Monaco GP, when Ron Howard andhis team played the movie for all the drivers and team members, my foot hasbeen tapping worse than Christian Horner’s, intolerantly waiting for the movie to hit the big screens.

Breaking the media marshmallow code

It’s always great to have 2 races in 2 weeks. It keeps us on our feet! Literally.

Oh yea, 7 different winners in 7 races from 5 different teams. There's nothing that stops it from happening again..
