Paul Stoddart won, while Mansell crashed

The new and old fans have one thing in common. We both love the Minardi two seaters, or how they are called today, that appear on the track before the start of a Grand Prix.

Unraced: F1 Racing Championship 2

I might have a weird habit if it is about cancelled stuff. I love to know the reason why something gets cancelled or abandoned. That is basically what UnracedF1 is. Investigating all those amazing stories of teams that were to enter the grid.  The same goes for gaming. There are probably more games not released then released. One of these is F1 Racing Championship 2. The game was scheduled to

The forgotten Toyota AM01

Probably most of you remember the Panasonic Toyota Racing team as the team that spent millions and millions of dollar in for just a couple of podiums and big dreams they could never materialise. Their best season was in 2005 when the team scored several second and third places. Before Toyota had their best season we have to go back al the way to 1999. Especially to the period the

Jordan Vodafone F1 Team

What many probably forgot or simply don’t know is that Jordan Grand Prix was in negotiations with Vodafone for a sponsor deal.

Unraced projects of the 2001 season

As there are over 650 Unraced F1 projects from the period 1885 – 2020 I decided before to publish articles of unraced projects per year. This is easier for you to see which attempts happened a specific year.

Khaled Al-Waleed and Prost Grand Prix

Prost Grand Prix once a winning team was on the edge of bankruptcy in late 2000. The team was already on their knees in the early summer days of 2001.  There was a savior for the team. Prince Khaled Al-Waleed the son of Al-Waleed bin Talal invested 10 million dollar in the team around June 2001. Was Prost Grand Prix saved now? Talks were held to keep the team on

Drivers who almost moved towards minardi

Minardi is probably one of the few teams in the rich history of the Formula One with plenty of rumoured drivers to drive for the team. Even more rumoured are the takeovers of the Minardi F1 Team. As to quote Paul Stoddart in 2005 “Over 40 groups were interested in taking over Minardi”. Let’s uncover history and see the almost driver moves for Minardi. 1984 – Minardi M184 Debut with

The old rumour mill; Benetton – BMW V12

Welcome to the second episode of the Old Rumour Mill of Formula One. A special blog dedicated to the old rumours of Formula One. Many rumours appeared during the years. Some were just silly “Alain Prost to move to Benetton in 1992”. Others were just amazing to read “Pedro Diniz to move to Ferrari in 2000”. Every week a new episode of the Old Rumour Mill of Formula One will
