What is it about Japanese drivers that causes F1 teams to resent having run them? Tsunoda is hardly the first Japanese driver to have been treated like this. I liken it to when Briatore said that Antonio Pizzonia was about 95%, and never found the missing 5%. Kobayashi, Sato, Suzuki, Yakomoto... Th...

Tsunoda is hardly the first Japanese driver to have been treated like this.

Dave Walker, as everyone on this site knows, holds the unenviable record of being the only driver to score zero [strike]seats[/strike] points in the same season as his team-mate - the very talented Emerson Fittipaldi - won the World Drivers' Championship, or whatever they were calling it in 1972.

He's hardly Gasly or Albon with regards to standing a chance against Max.

Why is everyone talking about Senna, but not loosing on w...

1. Sergio Perez - Again, after a good start into the year, loosing momentum and qualifying at the bottom of the grid. And wondering, why Marko doesn't want to give him a 2 year deal. 2. McLaren - For still milking a dead person for their own benefit and moneymaking. 3. Everyone, who jumps the Senna...

2 Wins for Jake Hill at Snetterton despite also receiving a 10 second penalty in Race 2 for the same offence as Bobby T.

Rob Huff leads Toyota 1-2-3 from Moffat and Cook in Race 3.

1) Albon - Williams' first points of 2024 and leaping ahead of Alpine on countback in one go.

2) Gasly - First point of 2024 after surviving an idiotic attempt at an overtake from his team-mate.

1. K-Mag - Anyone would think he actually wants to be banned at this rate. 2. Ocon - Okay! We get it! You and your team-mate hate each other but that doesn't excuse such idiotic manoeuvres like that! As if the team don't have enough on the plate at the moment. Almost like the Prost drivers at Austri...

Also, with Lando Norris' first win, I have cause for an update about one-hit wonders in the 2020s. Right now we're up to four - Gasly, Ocon, Russell, Norris - and it could have been six if Pérez and Sainz hadn't both gone on to more wins. Now we know the McLaren is up to the task, we might end this...

After two meetings, every driver competing in the 2024 British Touring Car Championship has scored points. This hasn't happened since 2005 when only the top 10 finishers were awarded points. Also, Ash Sutton has been on the podium in every race so far but hasn't won any yet. Also, every nation in th...

Rest in Peace Alan Minshaw 1935-2024

1983 Class C Champion and outright Runner-up.

Safe to say Alfa Romeo F1 Team #3 fared even worse than the 2nd one in hindsight, even it was just Sauber with a different name.

Har1MAS1415

You must be joking right? The 1983 car was one of the coolest looking cars of all time! Well maybe not pretty, but defenitely cool! That thing with not one, but two of those tea-tray rear wings and the 1970-esque radiator in the nose? Yes, that one. I'm going to stop thinking of it now, because I'm...

Wish someone would do an article commemorating Team HARD now that Tony Gilham's outfit has folded and sold off some of their Cupras. You could do it perhaps? Yes, that's a thought, I have been entertaining the idea. Can't do that just yet, the team has survived but downsized to just a single entry ...

Har1MAS1415

Make that one for now with Daryl DeLeon driving.

Also WSR downsizing to three cars and PMR to two after Jade Edwards fails to raise the funds to drive for the latter.

Means the 2024 BTCC kicks off this weekend with the lowest number of entries since before the start of the NGTC era.

https://youtu.be/FDrquledojw?si=R7Aei4NCX2avSUB- I haven’t come across this interview with Ricardo Rosset before. Looks like he didn’t find out the news from the newspapers as commonly believed but directly from Eric Broadley by telephone. Makes me wonder how Sosperi found out. I’m hoping he too ha...

Any more French teams to be profiled or is that it? Just saying because the last two team profiles have been on French teams. Yes - Automobiles Martini would be eligible, having taken part in 7 races (with their best results being two 9th place finishes). As an aside, I did happen to stumble on a t...

The recurrence of #18 in Bugatti's single World Championship appearance at the 1956 French GP.

MasterCard Lola has been profiled, although that is more one entry with a double DNQ. Oh yes, MasterCard Lola had a profile on the old site but their performance just screamed for an exception to be made. Plus, they did intend to do the entire season and Sospiri and Rosset did make it as far as tra...
