Re: RIP Jean-Pierre van Rossem
RIP to an extraordinary person behind the roller-coaster that was one of my favourite ever F1 teams. Did anyone ever find out what was in the mysterious Moneytron cupboard?

I attended the Henry Surtees charity karting event at Brooklands earlier this year (working for a radio station) and as well as meeting the great John Surtees himself I also met, and shared a coffee with, Lucas di Grassi.

Re: Worst F1 Liveries
Whoever nominated Richard Kaye's 1995 BTCC Mondeo, get out - I loved that livery.
In fact, I cannot think of a single Super Touring car with a livery that I ever disliked.

Under UK law (and yes I do understand that F1 Rejects is based in Australia) a deceased person cannot be libelled, so as long as no still-living person is referred to in the profile, it should be OK.
