Billy's Bio

Well... If you met me you would know that I am a pretty down to earth guy, i love my music more than anything and I love my Formula 1 almost as much. I have just started to get into photography and hope to get some special shots of the Mclarens and Brawns at this years british grand prix.

I have taken a little time out from writing about F1 (mainly comments) on Bleacher as things slow down in the F1 world outside of the sport, but 2009 intrigues me more than any other year. At the time of writing Brawn GP have just won their first race earlier today (so those who are die hard fans of F! know when) I have decided to take up writing again...

Hey , i will set about reading your article now billy .

Dont worry about it being lengthy , you cant put DC's career in a short article so i dont think you have done a bad thing .

I Like your thinking on the criticism thing , i think paul has actually chilled out now , read the comments at the end of my article .
