Here we are again at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit for the opening race of the 2003 season. Verstappen made a deal with the Minardi F1 Team, Frentzen would race his last season in the Formula One with Sauber and Michael Schumacher was already dominating the season without racing one single lap. Arrows Grand Prix International was just a faded memory of the past. The team was, the Arrows A23
March 2002 the Formula One arrives at Albert Park in Australia for the first race of the season. Prost Grand Prix is missing and three other teams are struggling to stay on the grid Minardi, Jordan Grand Prix and Orange Arrows. Six months later Arrows disappeared from the grid due to mismanagement and a lack of financial backing. A messy season with one highlight the Arrows A23, a car I
Arturo Merzario debuted in 1972 in the Formula One with Scuderia Ferrari. He finished sixth in his first race! Back then, finishing sixth meant one point. After two years with Ferrari and roaming around with Frank Williams Racing Cars, Copersucar-Fittipaldi, March and Walter Wolf Racing Arturo debuted Team Merzario in 1977, his own team. He would race, expect for one race with Shadow, with March 761B the season. Team Merzario
Let me take you back in the time capsule, it is October 1985. The Formula One is just in their winter sleep as out of sudden the news appears of a new team planning to enter the Formula One in 1986. Good news, as several teams were rumoured and announced to leave the Formula One. Ekström Grand Prix Racing was the name of the team. Under the lead of Swiss-domiciled
Rumours say that Campos Racing, in cooperating with Monaco Increase Management (MIM) is working on a comeback on the grid in 2021. In 2010, you probably remember, Campos Racing was granted an entry on the grid for 2010. However, before the season started Adrián Campos sold the team José Ramón Carabante as he failed to gain enough funds for the team to appear on the grid. Wil 2021 be completely
Panthera Team Asia F1 arrives! Well that’s all what we hope ofcourse. A week ago, the news hit the paddock as a bombshell a new team will appear on the grid in 2021. Why 2021?

A bit early (and indeed im far from creative) I would like to Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.??? The last 2 weeks of 2018 i'm probably cooking, visiting family and friends, and smoking cigars and drink some fancy whiskeys or ordinary beers. I would thank you all for the support this year, and the lovely reactions and information given, it gives me the unlimited
Many websites, forums and databases suggest that BRM’s last race was in 1977. That their last car was the BRM P207, and that the team abandoned racing. This info is false.

For the Larrousse team it became harder to survive during the 1994 season. The team was not able to update and develop the LH94, as there was no money left to invest. Besides the lack of finance, Érik Comas managed to score twice a point, though it was clear that it was a struggle to survive and to appear on the grid in 1994. A reconstruction of the last months
1989 seemed to be a perfect year for the small Italian team Osella Squadra Corse. Cosworth was supplying the team with engines, while Pirelli improved their qualifying and race tyres. Sadly, 1989 would prove to be the last year for the Osella team with Enzo Osella as team owner.
