Yes they are volunteers. They do it for the love of the sport. Even something so minor as a trackday requires marshalling.

Both Virgin and Lotus seem to be neck and neck.

Excellent testing times today. I think we're beginning to see a more accurate detail of the cars' true speed. By Barcelona we should have a good picture of the front runners, Red Bull ontop!

And within a second of the next best too, that is great progress.

Here's hoping they both have a trouble free dry day of testing tomorrow, any bets that the gap between them and the fastest could be nearer to 3 seconds? I think its possible.

I think RBR will still be a top 3 team come Sakhir, and in terms of pace RBR are not far off by any means. I'd certainly enjoy seeing Williams winning a race or two this year, just as long as a Mclaren driver finishes number one in the championship.. :)

Many interesting stories on the F1 grid this year, but I am sure that there is not a single true formula one fan that would not rejoice if Rubens wins a grand prix for Williams :D

Surely there would not be a dry eye in pit lane, the track and those watching on tv!

I am great fan of Frank Williams and Patrick Head.

I cant cant remember a seasson when I was so exited about F1, maybe in 97 when Norberto Fontana Was in saber but this have a lot of interestings ingredients than make it more interesting for me even if lopez can't be in the grid.
I will cry like my wife with a romantic movie if Rubinho win for williams this year and that is a promise.

I don't mind marshalling trackdays because, unlike actual races, they pay me in free tracktime ;) Ask any Flagger if he'd marshal an F1 race and they'll jump for it. Best seat in the house.

As a kid, I was at Kyalami in 1974 when Lole won his first grand prix.
