We're sorry to announce that the ITV.com/f1 website is closing down at the end of 2011.
We've had 12 great years, including three since ITV gave up the broadcast rights to the sport. With F1 embarking on a new era in 2012 in which the sport will be televised by both BBC and Sky, now seemed the right time to bow out.
Thanks to everyone who has worked on the F1 website since its launch in 1999, listed here in chronological order: Earl Alexander, Tim Urquhart, Adam Taylor, Richard Northen, Ann Hartland, Andy Halbery, Alex Sabine, Simon Strang, Matt Beer, James Galloway and Laurence Edmondson.
And of course, we'd like to convey our gratitude to everyone who was involved in ITV's award-winning F1 coverage and who gave so freely of their time for the website: Murray Walker, Martin Brundle, James Allen, Ted Kravitz, Jim Rosenthal, Steve Rider, Mark Blundell, Louise Goodman and Beverley Turner, plus Malcolm Clinton and the entire North One TV production team.
We'd also like to thank the many contributors who have written regularly for the site over the years, including David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Heikki Kovalainen, Peter Windsor, Matt Bishop, Joe Saward, Mark Hughes, Dan Knutson, Frank Hopkinson and Rob Sinfield.
But most of all, we'd like to thank you, our millions of readers, who have always let us know where we were going right (and wrong) and have made the site a lively forum for debate through your passionate contributions to our Talkbacks, blogs and debates.
We will be continuing our comprehensive football coverage on ITV.com/sport/football, and later in 2012 ITV.com will be launching a new sport website, which will include coverage of a wide range of motorsports. We hope to welcome you all back then.
