One thread running through this thread (sorry) is how often young Brits' careers tail off too soon maybe due to lack of sponsors.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Ralph Firman get into F1 at last because I thought he was going the way of Marc Hynes, Oliver Gavin, Robbie Kerr, Martin O'Connell, Jamie Davies, Darren Manning and, basically, any British driver who wins or does well in F3 or F3000, or even has a good test with the likes of Mc****n but then gets shelved while Riccardo Moneybags, Ryan Aussimate, Townsend Letsavayankineffone, Heikki Mightbeanotherkimi and Giancarlo Loadsalira who used to finish behind them get the breaks.
Sorry again, bit of a rant there!
