[QUOTE=Kitdy]I know F1 is not about the looks, but I definetly liked the look of last year;s silver and orange Spyker over this one. I was kinda hoping for the other driver to be Doornbos so it would be a totally Dutch team - that would be kinda cool. I wish this team did better - I like The Netherlands as a country, and Spyker cars are kinda sweet - but it will be really hard for these guys to get anywhere in the standings. I have no idea how Minardi stuck around for so many years at the bottom and how they actually generated cash. I figured sponsors would stay away from low, low teams. I don't know what teams like this and Super Aguri are even doing in F1. What do they sit around at the beginning of they year and make their goal? Getting a point?[/QUOTE]
Most of (if not, all of) Spyker F1's sponsors are Dutch ;)

I know - that's why Doornbos shoulda been the second driver!

Unfortunately Spyker doesn't have the funds to match what Red Bull is paying Doornbos (yet Spyker has 4 test drivers...)

[QUOTE=Jack_Bauer]I wonder if it's just the light, but the Spyker is looking remarkably red at Silverstone...

Also, Adrian Sutil has reportedly binned the new car at the super-fast Copse Corner this morning, putting an early end to the week's shakedown test. Oops! Not the best start for the new car! :o

Surely you are forgetting his epic 2005 USGP drive in which he stunned all and finished a remarkable third? :D :P

Spyker just threw away their only driver with a podium finish... :D

He was faster than his team mates at jordan and MF1 most of the time though, AND he does hold the record of the rookie with most consecutive finishes... :D

Don't worry, Monteiro can join the Portuguese Lola team in LMS (Chamberlain-Synergy) I think they'd love to have him on board :D
