wow, and they say the Brits find it harder to find funding in motor racing than anyone else! Glad to see an exception to the rule here, and for what seems like a very talented young racing driver. Here's hoping their investment pays off.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but what If BMW had kept Vettel after Red Bull/Toro Rosso came knocking in 2007? would he have been a double world champion yet? I'd have thought he would have got a first team drive at BMW Sauber in 2008 (alongside Kubica), and got at least one win that year....

It's actually been at least 2 weeks since I did this race, so my memory of it probably isn't 100% accurate, but here goes (results are all totally correct though as I write them all down): 2012 Round 2: Malaysia Practice: Everything was fine. That's all I remember. Qualifying: Qualifying was average...

I hope that link works.....either way I got a 56:599, so it's not like I would have cheated if you can't see that image

Sorry for missing round 1 by the way, I've been busy lately and had completely forgotten about it!

Round 1: Argentina results are now up on the website. There's an excel file for results from all of the 'competitive' sessions across the weekend in the statistics page, but it's a win for Thomas Aston and the Lorrentus crew! Walvianshaw, Ferradino and Maccellaro though are examples of teams with un...

I've got to say, while I like Ben Edwards' commentary style, Sky are winning in these arena at the moment for me, simply because Brundle is so much more informative than Edwards and Coulthard. I've noticed it after 2 races (Australia and Malaysia) watching Sky and now one with BBC (well I turned ove...

What a qualifying session! I think Kamui and Kimi are in for a good chance of victory if they can keep ahead of the Maccas and Webber behind.

Just for clarification, it's only for created drivers that overall ratings are limited for test driver roles. Any driver still in the driver market can hence be used as a reserve driver.

I should have made that clearer actually, apologies.

The deadline for entries has now passed and we have 22 out of 26 managers. (many are from other sources than just F1rejects, including a few friends etc). The Huntersport, Thaudourus, Specific and Charlestontech have yet to get team managers, but as the drivers market has closed they have been alloc...

In GPWS we have a liberal rulebook in that area and always have done, hence people ended up with 8 wheels in the early 90s and it's stuck as it provides optimum mechanical grip. Yeah, we are crazy here at FOCARTA As for the teams, constructors and engines, some are based on reality, others are just...

2012 Season Preview: The new season brings a number of driver changes throughout the grid. While Mclaren, Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes have kept their line ups, Lotus have replaced Nick Heidfeld with Kimi Raikkonen. Toro Rosso have surprised the paddock by replacing both Buemi and Alguersuari with...

I'm sure I remember Louise Goodman going to interview a driver who lived in Britain back when F1 was on ITV during a pre-race show. I forget who it was though I'm tempted to say Alguersuari because I remember him having decks and a load of DJ equipment there, but he didn't drive until 2009. Maybe L...

Don't Jenson Button and Andy Priaux live in Guernsey, the former for tax purposes, the latter because he's a native? Actually I have it on good authority Jenson has since moved off the island (I think because of practicality issues with F1 or similar). It was Andy who introduced Jenson to Guernsey ...

Pacific passing a Mclaren...who would have thought? McLaren were really bad in 1995. In my career, they finished 7th in 1995. Well they were pretty poor compared to their normal form (though Nige did call the car 'undriveable) but still, it was a Pacific . Excellent driving by Dagnall that's what I...

So Michael Schumacher is 1995 World Champion with that result, being 74 points ahead with just 6 races to go with a maximum 110 points. Congratulations to him, while gutted for Mr Dagnall after a promising start. A Pacific passing a Mclaren...who would have thought?

The technical regulations (or a very brief overview of) are now published. In other news, the legendary sports car manufacturer Austinno Maurintas is reportedly intent on entering GPWS from 2013 onward. Austinno Maurintas did previously compete in GPWS between 1958 and 1964 and took 6 wins in that t...

Announcement: After offers from Williams, Force India, Hispania and Caterham for drives in 2012, I have decided to turn them all down in favour of another year with the Virgin team. I have done so because I owe it to the team for giving me my debut, and the rate of development this year has been so ...

2011 Round 19: Brazil Practice: It was to be wet all weekend, and with the 5th fastest time in practice, things were encouraging. Button was on top in the session for this all deciding weekend. Qualifying: The session started off wet and so put in a couple of banker laps, but with a couple of mistak...

2011 Round 18: United Arab Emirates Practice: Lots of slow corners, an improved car and a good result last time out showed promise for the penultimate race of the season. At the end of a predictably dry practice I was 5th fastest and looking good for qualifying. Qualifying: A relatively average firs...

2011 Round 17: India Practice: Practice was dry at this new track on the World Championship schedule. I immediately found the track both challenging and enjoyable, and managed to set the 12th fastest time in a quiet session. Qualifying: Qualifying was even better than practice, as I held provisional...

I know, it's wonderful isn't it! If only such things had have happened in reality last year, the championship fight would have been another thriller. I'm personally supporting Jenson!

2011 Round 16: South Korea Practice: Practice at this dreadful circuit didn't go particularly well, with only the 19th fastest time posted.

2011 Round 15: Japan Practice: With very competitive times in the dry in Singapore, I had reason to be optimistic for the Japanese Grand Prix.

2011 Round 14: Singapore Practice: The start of the second Asian leg of the season was in Singapore, and the marina bay track promised good things for the weekend. The tight and twisty layout suited our car, and so it was disappointing to come away only 19th fastest again in friday practice, but yet...

2011 Round 13: Italy Practice: For the first time this year, the forecast was fully dry for the whole weekend.

I think at least one and a half year's preparation time for a new team would be ideal. Ergo: If we want more teams for 2014, Entry applications need to be open right now, and winners need to be announced by this summer. That's how I see it, but it might be too late....
