Re: Alt-1958: Enter Morocco!
October 4th 1958, Moroccan Grand Prix qualifying The Italian Grand Prix dealt a major blow to the title hopes of anyone not named Peter Collins. Most of the contenders failed to score outright, though by all rights Hernando da Silva Ramos should have closed the gap to three points. When the O.S.C.A...

Re: Common Misconceptions
Thank you for making this point, Simtek! I'd been pondering it for quite a while, as upon giving it a closer look, I felt the story of that title showdown didn't quite make sense. Looking at it from the angle of Ferrari wanting to maximise their chance of winning the race as opposed to giving Fangio...

Re: Biggest coincidences in motorsport
Corrado Fabi's career fits entirely within his brother Teo Fabi's (1983-84 compared to 1982-87). Yet, the two brothers never shared a grid. Teo missed out on 1983, and Corrado's three appearances in 1984 were replacing Teo at Brabham.
