F1 team names as backronyms
A backronym is treating a regular word or name as if it were already an acronym, even though it isn’t really. For example: Fast, Exciting Racing? Rarely! Aerodynamics’s Rarely Innovative. (FERRARI) Lots Of Laughter Afterwards (LOLA) Ha! Anticipating Accelerating Slowly (HAAS) Lots Of Trouble Using S...

Re: 2024 discussion thread
So we have just had the most boring silly season in terms of not a single seat change between the last race of 2023 and the first race of 2024. But then suddenly,…. BOOM! While still in the winter/off-season of 2023/4, we have a major silly season for 2025, and that’s just with Andretti being denied...

I missed watching these races live, and I didn’t get round to recording them on my digital recording device from TNT Sports.

Re: Andretti bid for 2025 rejected

The most significant way in which a new entrant would bring value is by being competitive, in particular by ...

Re: 2024 discussion thread
According to Bernie Ecclestone, Max would win even in a McLaren, Ferrari, or Mercedes. Do you agree with him? I suppose it would depend on who took Max's Red Bull seat. If it were someone like Yuji Ide, then sure, Max would win. But put someone in the Red Bull like Fernando or Lewis in their prime ...

Re: 2024 discussion thread
I'm curious if you think of the added races as a bad thing or not. And also is there some limit to the number of races you will watch? I will say that I watch almost every qualifying and sprint race. I could do without the sprint races, but I'm fine with them, especially if it improves the experien...

Good to see that the FIA/F1 have simply decided that the concept of a saturation point simply doesn't apply to them. I'm curious how this saturation point works for everyone. Please tell me about it. For me, I can make room for about 1 sporting event per weekend, but with a few instances a year whe...

Great to see a thread on the 2024 season. I wonder why didn't you use their exact name "Stake" 🤔 I just couldn't remember it correctly. I could go back and edit it, but because I don't have a stake in the team, I don't find the name that memorable. It's even more complex than that - the t...

I'm glad of this break between seasons. Having so many races is getting a bit saturated. How football and NASCAR fans cope with so many events per season is beyond me.

The way Max dominated the whole season. I don't think we're going to see such domination from any driver in the next few years at least. I hope you're right, i really do. And yet I suspect that until there is a major rules change, there will continue to be dominance by one team and driver. It will ...

The 2023/24 silly season was not at all silly. Not even a will he/won't he of any significance. Next season will start as 2023 ended. No change in driver line up anywhere on the grid.
