Grand Prix Rejects

We had an excellent start to the season, when the first two rounds were attended by five drivers. This allowed Stoffel Vandoorne to take an early lead in the championship, before the well-oiled Ferrari machine proceeded to stomp the rest of the field over the next ten or so events. Vettel especially...

It was an epic tug of war at the top between the two Mercedes drivers, with Valtteri Bottas taking the lead of the championship in the final few rounds and not relinquishing it. Sebastian Vettel also made it close by bringing himself into the championship by the last round, even if he did not decide...

After an average of one qualifying session

Therefore our final champion results are: Nino Farina : 0 (-1) Luigi Fagioli : 1 (+1: 1950+) Juan Manuel Fangio : 4 (-1: 1951, 1954, 1955, 1957) Alberto Ascari : 1 (-1: 1952) Mike Hawthorn : 2 (+1: +1953, 1958) Jean Behra : 1 (+1: +1956) Maurice Trintignant : 1 (+1: +1959) Bruce McLaren : 1 (+1: +19...

The last season arrives, and it is much the same as the real one. Chris Amon overtook Jim Clark in the standings for third place, while Chris Irwin took a nice top 10 finish overall. However, the main standings remained largely unchanged. 1. Denny Hulme 821 2. Jack Brabham 800 3. Chris Amon 624 4. J...

An excellent performance from Gasly when Norris fluffed up with strategy. Stroll seemed to spend the whole race in last, he's so going to choke this season isn't he.

Rather unfortunate timing seeing as Daniel spoke about wanting to end his F1 career with the red bull family

perhaps a little sooner than he was intending.

Because I think if Lawson performs well, they will surely just keep Lawson.

It was a close-run thing yet again, and Jackie Stewart nearly took a fourth title, but in the end Graham Hill won it just as in real life. Denny Hulme was the only other real contender, while only a few of the real-life backmarkers (namely Beltoise) managed to make an impression on the overall champ...

A potentially brilliant showdown between Jackie Stewart and Bruce McLaren turned into a damp squib at the season finale when McLaren's car didn't even start for the race. This means that Stewart takes all his real-life championships like clockwork. Ickx steals second place, with Beltoise doing brill...

You heard the man, Batty. Baker deserves to win at least one of these in his life

Denny Hulme, whom we've been noticing has done excellently in his time in this series, wins the 1970 F0 season by just three points. We were this close to greatness, however, as his closest rival came in none other than Henri Pescarolo. The death of Jochen Rindt opened the door of the championship t...

Another real-life champion is F0 champion, as Jackie Stewart waltzes to his second title. Only Ronnie Peterson had any hope in hell of reaching him, and even he was still a win off. However, all the spotlight should be shone on the heroic efforts of one John Surtees, who jumps from 19th to 5th overa...

A very low-scoring season as we are down to just 12 rounds. As in real life, Emerson Fittipaldi wins his first season here, except this time it is mega close against Denny Hulme, who yet again does extraordinarily well to push for a title. Our biggest surprises were probably how well Ronnie Peterson...

Sadly all back to relative normality for the mid-1970s, as Jackie Stewart makes an easy clean sweep of the 1973 championship. His main rival was the excellent Denny Hulme, who along with Emerson Fittipaldi and Stewart's teammate Francois Cevert, made an interesting battle for runner-up spot at least...

It was decided at the final race, and if either driver had finished one place higher or lower, it would have swung the other way. One of the closest championships in F0 history went down to the wire, with Emerson Fittipaldi just edging out Clay Regazzoni ahead of the ever-present Jody Scheckter and ...

It's the usual suspects time and time again. The top 5 is full of all-time classic F0 runners, who always seem to be consistent and always seem to be in the championship hunt. Here, however, Niki Lauda stomped the field to win a second F0 championship following 1977, with Tom Pryce an excellent 10th...

1976 will go down in history mostly for the epic rivalry between Niki Lauda and Jody Scheckter. The South African was hot on the Austrian's heels all season, and was just able to surpass his points tally for the final event of the year at Fuji. In the end, it was a bit of a damp squib because neithe...

THE SILLIEST SEASON Mario Kart faces its craziest silly season in recent memory, with announcement following announcement every few hours apparently. It all started when Waluigi officially announced that, for many months, he had signed a two-year deal with SSL to the end of 2006, which would see hi...

From newbies to war heroes to world champions, everyone seemed to hav...

It was another Ferrari wipeout in 1977, with Niki Lauda edging out the only real competition in teammate and future champion Carlos Reutemann. This would be Lauda's final championship in the sport, which is incredible considering how well he would do in later years. Even when missing the final two r...

And the winner of the 1978 F0 trophy goes to... Jacques Laffite? That's right! Year after year, along with Tambay, Depailler and Pironi, he has led the French contingent of "very decent and reliable F0 finishers every single season", and now for once it has actually come back to reward him...

Jody Scheckter wins it and it's not even close. He and teammate Gilles Villeneuve sweep the standings ahead of Clay Regazzoni and John Watson. Surprises were Jochen Mass, Emerson Fitipaldi, and Jan Lammers, all of whom bumped themselves up about ten places higher than they used to be. Fittipaldi esp...

Nelson Piquet sadly does not do very well in this series, as Alan Jones takes a convincing championship ahead of future champion Reutemann. Laffite, Arnoux, and Pironi are all there just about but not quite, as they will be for the following few years. But check out Scheckter! Not nearly so bad in t...

Flower Cup We had a surprise winner of the Cup in Daisy, who has all this season been running with her son Baby Luigi in the backseat. At home she took an excellent pole to win victory, which followed second at Mario Circuit where brief teammate Mario Mario took pole and crashed out. Mario has swor...

Unbelievable as it may seem, Alain Prost was not even in the running for the 1981 championship, in this universe or the next. Instead, it was the surefire consistency of Carlos Reutemann that won the Argentinian the F0 world title! Nelson Piquet's three consecutive retirements put him on the back fo...

Mazepin did the first pre season test with Haas so it was very late in the game before he was replaced. It'd be hard to say they'd suddenly lost faith in him coincidentally two weeks after the invasion.

In a mad season just as in real life, you'd be surprised to know that Keke still takes the title even in this universe. Pironi and all the rest who missed multiple races are obviously at a serious disadvantage, while the breakout stars included Derek Daly, Marc Surer again, and John Watson who so ne...

He does it! It's an 8th (and almost certainly final) title for Prost, who edges out Piquet on sheer consistency yet again. Arnoux, Rosberg, and especially Marc Surer deserve recommendations for their excellent performances over the whole year. You might also be noticing that the gap between the reli...

I hear a certain former F1 driver now "involved with sustainability" and living in Switzerland is potentially stepping into an FE car next year. My bets are on either Jackie Stewart or Jacques Villeneuve.

You'll be astonished to know that Prost wins this one as well! The unstoppable Frenchman benefited a huge amount from being one of four drivers all year who could consistently get a car to the end of a race. Lauda, his teammate, was relatively close behind, along with Elio de Angelis, who again shon...

This one was less close, to say the least. de Angelis, Alboreto, Boutsen, and Martin Brundle amazingly seemed to be the biggest challengers for most of the season, despite two of them scoring virtually no points in the real championship. Senna suffers as always from this system, as do Rosberg and Pi...

Say hello to possibly the closest championship in F-Zero history! Prost takes the title at the very last second as Mansell's car explodes. Mansell was leading the championship quite convincingly until that last-race tragedy. Otherwise, his teammate Piquet and rival Prost just about inherited the pla...

Norris is actually going to do this, isn't he? With a decent buffer of points between himself and his teammate, he could very easily mop up this title ahead of Stroll and the Alpines. And remember, this was a bad day for McLaren!

Albon overtook 170 different drivers today, which was quite impressive. Max's banter radio messages showed he at least has a sense of humour under the evil villain exterior. McLaren for beating Alpine on their day off. Perez for leading convincingly until Max turned up. This is the kind of weekend ...
