A newbie's guide to Formula One

[sameerrao]

The 2006 season is almost upon us.

In the spirit of things, I thought I would start a thread providing links to help someone new to F1 or those with a passing interest learn the ins and outs of it.

Hopefully this would mean more participation in the race discussion on JW during the season.
