Can't but agree with the choice. If other criteria had been considered (poor reliability, injuries and/or rejectful external circumstances of all sorts), there would have probably been way too many names for the ROTR. On the other side of it, proposing the weekend as a whole for this award, as I did...

Not sure about that, but I suspect he should be there due to his poor chequered flag-wawing performance at the 2002 Brazilian GP, as he completely missed the Schumacher brothers crossing the finish line.

Ok, thanks Then: Scuderia Adriatica's entry for the British and Italian GPs: Driver : Lucien Bianchi; Car : Ambrosiana A-002 Chassis 2, Ferrari engine. These races will be useful as a training ground for the team's full time effort in 1956. Scuderia Adriatica mourns all the victims of the Le Mans ac...

Thanks, Simtek!

Somebody with the nickname "Pacific" should answer.
That would make a moment of greatness.

Are Scuderia Adriatica's deals concerning driver and car already valid?

If so (and if it's still possible), we would like to enter Lucien Bianchi and our Ambrosiana-Ferrari chassis-engine combination in the British and Italian GPs.

A street circuit in Luanda, Angola, one of Africa's emerging powers. The final straight offers enough space for the pits, while the nearby port can easily host the paddock.

It's probably the first time so few cars start a Formula 1 race without anyone actually boycotting it. (See Indianapolis 2005 or Imola 1982.) Therefore I find the race weekend as a whole should be awarded the ROTR title. It's not, but you have to go back to the 1950s and 1960s for that. One example...

If you want an italian driver, i can always lend you semi-italian Bianchi! Also, all ENB-contracted drivers are now 'on the market' for the rest of this year. Well, I think he could be a good choice for us for this first year, we could arrange a deal He's related to Jules, what more arguments do yo...

I would award the IIDOR to the Ferrari power units. Closing the gap with the Mercedes PUs is probably as easy as qualyfing a Life on pole while driving blindfolded, but they're surely better than last year.

So, Adriatica's first choices for their driver role are Gerino Gerini and a young, promising Sicilian driver: Nino Vaccarella.

The owners of Scuderia Adriatica would like to thank every fellow gentleman who has shown interest on this Grand Prix effort. We especially thank Scuderia Australasia for their offer, but, as an all-Italian team, we have decided to stick with Italian chassis-engine combinations, at least for the fir...

Hi, would it be possible to enter this series or do I have to join a waiting list? Seems quite a nice thing No, there is no waiting list. You simply post the name of your team, where it's based and a short back story. If I find it credible enough, I give you a budget, and off you go Here's my go th...

Just a little disclaimer at first: those are drivers I especially root for or drivers I'm not so keen on. But I don't really "dislike" any drivers (with kinda few exceptions): my take on it is, they are in the top tier of motor racing, they can't but be among the best. Plus, I don't like (...

What if Lola hadn't been forced by sponsorship reasons to rush the development of its Formula 1 project in order to (try to) take part in the 1997 season, taking instead the necessary time to complete a competitive 1998 car?

People at Manor can't but be praised for the effort they're putting into getting the car running for this weekend. I just hope everything goes well. Meanwhile some pics of the livery have already appeared online, as the crew brought the cars to scrutineering. Pretty neat red-white-black colors, simi...

After this I could quite frankly say I've now seen just about everything on Twitter.

Still can't understand how the van der Garde situation will be sorted out...

Now this site is back up, let's mention Formula E - Jaime Alguesuari, Karun Chandhok, Bruno Senna, Jerome d'Ambrosio, Sebastien Buemi, Lucas di Grassi, Stephané Sarrazin, Franck Montagny (briefly), Jean-Eric Vergne and Charles Pic (very briefly) already. Plus Nelsinho who missed official reject sta...

8th March 1997 - MasterCard Lola failed to qualify for the Australian Grand Prix by a huge margin - Vincenzo Sospiri was a whole five seconds slower than the Arrows of Pedro Diniz, who had also fallen foul of the 107% rule. Ricardo Rosset was a further second off his Italian teammate. If there ever...

Just noticed I forgot to check in here! I was born in Southern Italy and spent there most of my life, though I left my home country for Germany some months ago. And, tbh, I'm probably one of the very few Italian racing fans which isn't at the same time a Ferrari fan. Actually I don't like to identif...

Fulvio Maria Ballabio was expected to race for Spirit in 1984 alongside Fittipaldi (who had then refused to race for the team). He was denied the superlicence though and replaced by fellow Italian Mauro Baldi. The funny thing was that his sponsorship money came from Disney . He also appeared in a D...
