Ferrari did 1000 races since 1950, this is exclusive the entries they made but did not race. And exclusive the races that did not count for the championship. The first 20 years of Formula 1 there were plenty of them. Because of these stats, and a discussion I had on twitter about teams that merged and are today on the grid, here are some stats you don’t need to know!
Last weekend the ninth edition of the Historic Grand Prix at Zandvoort was held. However, this year was different from others years. There were les race series than previous years and there was no historic stage setting. Was this an issue for this year’s event? If you ask me this, I will say no it was not. It was even more or less a relief to be honest. Why was
De grote prijs van Pyongyang of de grote prijs van Noord-Korea of gewoon lekker The North-Korean Grand Prix. Zouden we ooit naar Pyongyang afreizen om daar een Formule 1 race te gaan rijden door de straten van Pyongyang? Het is een vraagstelling die niemand zich stelt, maar mij toch intrigeert. Het begon allemaal met de vraag of er ooit autosport is bedreven in Noord-Korea. Al snel dwaalde ik af bij
2005 was the last year that privateers, the small teams, appeared on the grid. Minardi was the last team of an era were many tried their luck in the Formula One. Due the coming ban on turbo engines in 1989 and the restrictions, it was financially attractive for teams to try their luck. Most of them failed to even complete two season, some only did a few races before they
This weekend the Australian Grand Prix would have been the season opening for Formula One, however due to the corona virus there won’t a Grand prix at all. The first Grand Prix? Probably the Dutch Grand Prix. The hectic of Liberty Media and the bad communication brought me back to the days that Eddie Jordan, Gian Carlo Minardi, Guy Ligier, Ken Tyrrell, Lord Hesketh and all time favourite Peter Sauber
Today the announcement came that Racing Point will undergo a rebrand to Aston Martin per 2021. This means that Aston Martin will no longer be the title sponsor of the Red Bull Racing team. However, will Aston Martin be able to match at least the heydays of the Jordan Grand Prix? Or will they become the new Toyota saga were much money was spent for zero efforts and improvement? In
"Guys, I'm coming in, I'm having too much grip!" the remarkable words once spoken by Chanoch Nissany. A couple of you will remember it; some will recognize the name Nissany because Williams signed Roy as their test driver for 2020. I bet that many of them out there don’t even know who Chanoch even is, and how he is related to the Formula One. As usual, I was instant a
This season, 2020, the Formula One celebrates it's 70th season. 70 years of exiting racing, incredible race drivers and of course 70 years of failed F1 ventures! Many are known to the public. However, there are many projects that are unknown to the public. Enjoy the list of some, i believe, unknown attempts to appear in the Formula One the last 70 year! 1950 SVA-FIAT 1500 SVA (Societa Valdostana Automobili)
Na jaren van onderwaardering, een verloederde nationale autosport kalender met niet veel noemenswaardige race series is er eindelijk weer een race klassen om naar uit te kijken. De Formule BRL! Eindelijk is er dadelijk weer een nationale Formule klassen op de circuits te vinden, en ja ook op het circuit waar Max Verstappen in Mei dit jaar zal racen in zijn Red Bull. Nee dit was geen clickbait. Als je
In 2017, several news outlets had spoken with Zoran Stefanovic who was interested again to enter the Formula One with his, Serbian based, Stefan Grand Prix team. Stefan believed he could achieve enough financial backing to finally debut his team In the Formula One. Two years later, there is nog sign of Stefan GP. What happened? Zoran Stefanovic is one of those entrepreneurs who is willing to enter the Formula
