    I agree about Williams, completely, but I would add Ferrari and McLaren to the list. Very much racing teams, both of them.

    They certainly aren't my 2nd favourite team. That's all I can say.

    And that makes the other teams anything less? Like less deserved to win?

    Isn't the intention of running the team purely the thoughts of team owners? Aren't the drivers, engineers and staff all there for the love of the sport?

    well not mine second favoirite team at all!(is BMW BTW), a "B" team can't be underdogs, plus I think them and Toro Rosso are cheating this season, so basically the only true underdogs are Spyker, and I wish they kick their "costumer chassis" butts this year.
    Fan of Timo Glock and proud of it! :champion: 3 podiums, new start as a Virgin :p

    Name says it all :P

    I was a Minardi fan before Red Bull carved up the organisation.

    I'm all for the underdogs. You'll probably see me rooting for Spyker and/or the other Japanese teams this year too.

    Williams and Spyker are the true underdog teams...

    well I guess the red bull teams are, too. but they seem to have so much money its hard to think of them that way.

    Super Aguri is not a "real privateer" unlike former Minardi or Jordan as they have a strong factory support (from Honda). And I suspect they won't be an underdog this year and maybe they are even able to score a couple of lucky points from somewhere. Actually Super Aguri is one of the biggest questionmarks before the start of the season as no-one exactly knows how good they might be.

    I have a so-called passive support for them, but I certainly wouldn't call them "second favourite".
