And they all sign for other teams immediately, express their discontent with the FIA, and subsequently get hired back for their own teams after a lot of bickering.

F1 builds a racetrack in Kenya for the 2027 season, to help Nairobi with their Olympic bid, and the track was a great success.

Actually the Track was as run down as the 2002 WRC service park and Bernie scraps it after just 1 year

Peugeot return to F1 and build a race winning engine which ends the Renault reign

[go_Rubens]

The engine might have been powerful, but the Renault privided better reliability, and no one bothers to take the Peugeot on after 2 years of use.

Cosworth reverse their decision to not build engines for F1 next year.

Neither Red Bull makes the podium in Austria next year

But Helmut Marko gives out the 1st place trophy!

Austria never leaves the F1 calendar while racing at the Red Bull Ring.

They rebulid it back to the full Osterreichring meaning 1 year away from the calender to rebuild the track.

F1 returns to Montjuic Park

To publicly declare it too unfit to race and the race never happens again.

Fans at F1 tracks are allowed to place suggestions on pieces of paper into suggestion boxes placed around circuits, and the most popular suggestion gets into the next year's F1 regulations.

[Cynon]

When most of the suggestions are butthurt Ferrari/McLaren/Webber/Hamilton fans suggesting that either Red Bull, Vettel, or Adrian Newey be banned from the sport, the FIA realizes what a stupid mistake this is and never follows through.

The 2014 grid is loaded with lots of exciting new rookie drivers instead of faceless, uninspiring veterans like Massa, Hulkenberg, etc.

Their talent is a cross between Carmen Jorda and Johnny Cecotto JR.



F1 incorperated the US Gold Crown bodies to cut costs...

[go_Rubens]

F1 drivers can't handle the amount of power and lighter weight, and the series is declared too unsafe.

F1 drivers are given more freedom, as in being allowed to compete in other races like Le Mans.

F1 drivers are given more freedom, as in being allowed to compete in other races like Le Mans.

However, the Canadian GP is always scheduled to clash with Le Mans, and Monaco timetabled to clash with the Indy 500, thus denying them any genuine opportunity.

Apart from Kimi, who goes on to win the F1 championship, Le Mans and the Indy 500 in the same year, despite missing Canada and Monaco.

People start throwing vodka bottles everywhere... At least there wasn't any Ben and Jerry's ice cream involved.

Kimi Räikkönen founds his own vodka and ice cream company.

Kimi Räikkönen founds his own vodka and ice cream company.

It goes bust pretty quickly because of a lack of sales. Not because the product is bad or poor marketing, but because Kimi and his mates consume all the products before they get anywhere near the shops.

The 2014 Silly Season gets sillier and my dream comes true of Susie Wolff getting a drive at a Mercedes-powered team, where she remains a race driver for the full season.

Then goes back to the DTM.

F1 races at the Indy 500.

The cars were too unfit for the regulations, as the only possible deal was to race with the Dallaras on hand. As a result, F1 leaves Indianapolis forever after their own farce that they created, and the FIA's reputation is tarnished for all eternity, so much so that they disappear into the abyss.

F1 cars are built to new regulations with wider cars, like the 90s.

They are to fast for Jean Todt's liking and they are reverted back to 2014 spec.

Ground effect returns.

[go_Rubens]

Only because the teams wanted faster cars or they'd leave. The teams were tired of the FIA trying to, in their mind, screw over the idea of a fast race car, the FIA petitioning F1 to be more of a business, and since the FIA made regulations to use 4 cylinders, teams like Ferrari, McLaren, and Lotus moaned and moaned, Ferrari incessantly. So, as a result, the cars being 12 seconds slower than 2011 spec cars, the big teams made an agreement to boycott the races and whole development process of a new car until the regulations changed. The time the FIA released details was January, so the big teams wound up at a huge disadvantage, and the privateers built good cars to begin with, so the whole field was spread out in each race, with seemingly no solution to the boring track action and the nonstop political nonsense going on off the track, so much so that when they raced at Indianapolis, there was not a single overtake on track, the fans dejected, and F1 Rejects storms over to get their say in the farces that happen on an everyday basis.

Tasmania gets an F1 GP.

Despite being marketed as the Tasmanian Grand Prix, it's actually held in Adelaide, to the disapproval of Eurobrun.

Michael Waltrip buys an F1 team.

And he hires Clint Bowyer and Martin Truex Junior as the drivers, and there are more allegations of cheating despite at the back of the pecking order.

F1 used 2L N.A V10-V12-V16's in 2014

[go_Rubens]

Even if the regulations were completely cocked up by the FIA at first, the teams request the V6 Turbos again, and the turbos are back.

The FIA allows different engine types again.

At the first race, there is 21 engine failures, Vettel wins, and the idea is abandoned.
