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.

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?

"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.

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

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?

We are reaching the end of the year, the time to look backwards one more time before we enter 2020. It is the first time I do this article so I will go back until the year 2017 to find out what eventually came from the rumoured teams that were willing to spent millions of dollars to arrive on the grid. There is one interesting case China F1 Racing Team
Beste Max Verstappen fan, afgelopen weekend was een thuis race, een race waar we vroeger al watertanden van kregen toen Jos The Boss nog rond reed in zijn Arrows en Tyrrell, dat prachtige circuit waar we in de jaren massaal naar toe gingen om onze held, ja papa van, toe te juichen.
