Grand Prix Rejects

What if all teams ran 2 cars in 1985 and entered all races of the season and there was pre-qualifying? Would Tyrrell or RAM be the fourth team to pre-qualify?

You are aware that the Swiss Grand Prix was actually held in Dijon, France, and that therefore, nobody ran a car in Switzerland?

I'm gonna edit that.

What if in 1995, Mercedes put a 500I pushrod engine bored out to 3 liters on the McLaren? How good would it be? What would the FIA's reaction be? Make V10s mandatory in 1996?

What if Nigel Mansell was paralyzed in that Formula Ford crash?

During Quali, the SKy guys said that Pastor is likely not to drive for Renault if they do get the team and then they badmouth him saying that someone would need his money and Renault will want a skillful driver. But anyway if Maldonado and Renault don't work out what happens to both? Maybe the Cras...

Maybe Haas-Ferrari can lure a relatively young IndyCar driver or even pay Bourdais to return to F1 to appeal to an American audience.

What if in 2006 BMW stayed with Williams and instead someone like Ferrar continued to give Sauber engines. However Heidfeld had to drive for Williams-BMW with Rosberg and stay there till 2009 while Webber went to the new Sauber team joining Kubica till 2009. What would happen? We are spared Kazuki ...

What if Brawn didn't make it? Would Vettel be a 5-time world champion? What happens to Barrichello and Button? Go to IndyCar? Le Mans?

I personally have a low opinion on Maldonado and said drivers have better reputations and are more consistent than the Crashtor TBH.

If Jim Clark had died instead of Von Trips, is it possible that Graham Hill would be a four-time world champion?

Look forward to 1996 - that could be a very popular champion considering Schumacher has lots of retirements and not as much to gain from Williams' removal. Also does Schumacher still get removed from the 1997 table with no Williams for him to collide with? That one could be very good if so. I will ...

That's the most likely scenario but IMO, Alonso/Schumacher or Alonso/Fisichella could also be possible in 2010 with Raikkonen going to Mercedes.

As for giving the entry rights to a top IndyCar team - for a start, it would require a large shift in their commercial outlook, because outfits like Penske do not have any presence outside of the US and might therefore struggle to attract sponsors from outside their home region. Equally, there is a...

If all 16 teams entered 1994, I'd assume that the Simteks would find pre-qualifying an easy task and their drivers would pretend it's just another practice session like the Lola-Lamborghinis in 1990.
