There's been so much bad press regarding the Honda Racing F1 team recently - and we've been producing just as much of it as anybody else - that we thought it was about time we balanced things out a little. First and foremost, this is a fan site. It's built by a fan, run by fans, and used by you, the fans. We know you support Honda Racing F1, the drivers, or both. We know that you want them to be winners. And we know that, in many ways, you already consider them winners.

We know this, because we feel the same.

As it's a site for you, we're handing it over. We want you to tell us why you support the team, and we'll publish the best comments. The site is yours, so write what you want. Perhaps you want to say how well Jenson and Rubens are driving. Perhaps you think that Shuhei Nakamoto will do a great job in the team. Or you might think that, despite the problems, the team is doing well and deserves more.

Whatever you want to say, the one rule is to keep it positive. This is an unashamedly feel-good piece we're planning, and we'd like you all to join in the process, so forget about the problems and tell us your upbeat views. We'll publish the best, but every single message is important, as we'll be handing them all over to Honda Racing F1.

There'll also be a few small prizes handed out to random entrants, so there's an incentive to join in. Don't worry - even if your message isn't published, you'll still be in the draw.

So what are you waiting for? Get writing...
