Your questions answered - part 15
So it's farewell to 2009 a vintage season of action, rumour and excitement both on and off the track. But we can't say goodbye just yet, not without one final delve into the virtual postbag to answer some more of your questions. As it's the last one for a little while let's make it a bumper edition.
There are some great questions as usual this week, so please click on the video below to find out my thoughts. You asked who I thought had been the best driver in a non-championship winning car this season, hopefully you won't be too shocked by my answer. I also pick out my best moments of 2009 and, brilliantly, get given the chance to pick out the famous old grand prix tracks I would like the sport to go back to.
I also pick my own 'F1 dream team' - any two drivers, driving any one car from any era in F1. Great fun, let me know what you think of mine and feel free to chip in with your own selections.
Click on the video below to see my answers and thanks for all of your questions throughout the season.

I had to take a criticism or two from a fellow 606'er when I posted it, but it was fantastic to see that you entered into the spirit of what was intended. Loved your choice of drivers and car! Felt and shared your enthusiasm for the subject. Thanks Murray, you've got me walking on air now! Seeyou next season!!

Many thanks for answering my question, and I agree entirely with your favourite moments of 2009. I'd also throw in Jenson running from the wrong parc fermΓ© in Monaco!!!
A very merry Christmas to you and your family....and hope to see you back doing this in 2010.

Austarlia:would have been 2nd or third if he had not crashed into Kubica
Malaysia:Was currently running 6th until he spun
China: He won the race and Webber made it a 1-2

What is the smallest number of cars that you think F1 should have in a race to give value for money and where were the people at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?

At 3rd Dec 2009, Arucard wrote:I don't think we will see a high cost version of the A1 series, I think its more because there are now so few manufacturers heading up teams that they want to have a representative in the teams they now supply to.
I'm certainly looking forward to next season, and I agree with Murray that the Mclaren Honda of '88 is certainly one the top 5 cars to choose a dream team around.
I know this is nit picking a bit but it should be corrected. That is the mispronunciation of Kamui Kobayashi's name. I noticed all presenters where pronouncing it as kam(ooee) it is in fact kam(wii) as in the Nintendo Wii. I only mention it because everybody hates having their name pronounced wrong and even spelt wrong. Any way the guy deserves a seat next year after the stunning drives he put in.

The last few years have been a dreadful time for him, a nasty bike accident saw his racing days end with endless operations & physio, then losing his job which led to personal & financial struggles. I want to show him how much I appreciate him and what would be better than a surprise from his all time heroes !
I’m planning or should I say attempting to collect 40 autographed pictures to be framed for his special day, can you help me ?
Your help would be greatly appreciated :@)
