Not quite.

They're still with us but they'll only run two Cupras in 2024.

Can we class Team HARD in this category now that they have folded? After all, only 1 win in over a decade of trying when in that time, teams that entered after them have won titles (BMR, entered in 2013, won in 2017 with Ash Sutton and the Subaru. Laser Tools, entered in 2014, won in 2020 and 2021 ...

It was removed at the request of the author a few years back, who isn't happy with the quality of the profile.

Always room for improvement.

Just how many teams was the late Andrea de Cesaris linked to during his F1 Career that he never actually drove for? Zakspeed for 1988. AGS for 1991. Simtek for 1994. (Given what eventually happened to Ratzenberger and Montermini, he probably did the right thing not joining, could have gone full circ...

You could do it perhaps?

Yes, that's a thought, I have been entertaining the idea.

The Monte Carlo 001-Cosworth Or the Life L190 of International Formula 3000. In the hands of Fulvio Ballabio, the car's sole outing at Imola in the 1986 F3000 Season saw it not only fail to qualify but it was also bog last of the 36 entrants. Its fastest time? 3 minutes, 4.8 seconds! 1 minute, 25 se...

Lotus Elise GT1 The Lotus Esprit had been a mainstay of the BPR Global GT Endurance Series since the category was launched in 1994. The best performances had been winning the GT3 Class at the Silverstone 4 Hours in 1995 and finishing 2nd outright at the same event in 1996. When the category evolved ...

Outside chance or not, Roberto Ravaglia being linked to Coloni for 1989 has got to be one of the most outlandish rumours in F1 History, if not all time.

From bad car designs, to team or driver performance that lead to poor results and sanctioning bodies making new regulations that later destroyed a series is the point for this thread. I know this also kind of applies to this website as a whole but I was feeling inspired after coming across this Redd...

Futurecom TME, no points in 4 years of trying, although they came close a couple of times in 2007. I know they ran 2-year old Audis throughout their time as a DTM entrant but look what Paul di Resta achieved in a 2-year-old Merc in 2007 and even Mathias Lauda managed a few points in the other 2-year...

After a meeting, and a deferral and another meeting, finally it's been decided-the results of the US Grand Prix will stand.... Hardly surprising. ...but given some of the FIA's decisions, not beyond the realms of probability that they would have done something daft... I thought doing something daft...

Vaguely, yes. My point exactly, I only vaguely remembered them myself! I remember the name, but have to recall that it isn't Phoenix GP that were going to take over the Prost entry. Don't think it is Alex Wurz's Superfund entry. Is it the entry that Jean Alesi was involved with? You mean Direxiv? K...

From that front-on angle, the T95/30 could easily be mistaken for a modern F1 car, until you realise there's no airbox as emphasized by the empty space behind the roll-hoop. Now there's an optical illusion for you!

Perez. Great performance in your home GP! NOT!

Danny Ric. Looks he's finally rediscovered his mojo.

Har1MAS1415

With Daniel Ricciardo breaking his 2023 points duck, it means that for the first time since 1993 & 1994 (22/25) we have had more than 20 point-scorers in a season two years running (21/21).

Max Verstappen could secure the title in the Sprint Race in Qatar. Technically, this would mean he would equal Michael Schumacher's 2002 record of winning the title with 6 races to go. He only needs to finish 6th or higher or, if he fails to score, have Perez finish 4th or lower. At the rate he's g...

Only Andretti Global left standing now so it seems.

Har1MAS1415

To me, the FL points should be open to everybody who starts the race or no one at all. Opening it up to all 20 rewards the likes of Zhou for posting the FL and gives the lower teams something to fight for. Sargeant and Perez for ROTR. Like it was in the 1950s, without which, Alberto Ascari would ha...

In other news: The FIA has rejected bids from all but Andretti Global with regards to potential new teams. The entrants that have been turned down were apparently LKY SUNZ, Rodin Carlin and Hitech, and I'm not really surprised that they were all turned down. There were suggestions that the LKY SUNZ...

The current Points System: Thanks to the inclusion of Sprint races (I know there wasn't one in Suzuka) and the points system used for them, Sergio Perez is still mathematically in contention for the title but if in the more-than-likelihood of Max Verstappen finishing 6th or higher in the Sprint rac...

This could end up being Hondas 1st winless season since 1995. (Excluding 2001 when Honda took a year out and Simon Graves came 1st on the road in his Production Class Honda on 3 occasions)

Colin Turkington wins Race 3 and takes BMW's 150th British Touring Car Championship win!

The title battle is now down to just Sutton and Tingram but with Sutton 45 points ahead, he has one hand on title #4 already.
