Haryanto loses Pertamina backing, which could means that there will be no sponsorship clash for him to drive for a Petronas-sponsored team

I have spoken to him in the past, I think he is respectful he is the world champion, but he shouldn't do these kinds of things he should respect all of the competitors. You never know, maybe in the future I will be fighting a championship with him so he has to respect that. Behold, Lewis. Esteban h...

What if Ayrton Senna raced in IndyCar in 1993 or 4? In 1993, given that it was said that the Penske PC22 was better than its records show (Penske won 8 races out of 16), it was very possible that Senna will be in the mix for the title. Imagine the 1993 IndyCar championship battle with Emerson Fitti...

Not exactly F1, but the 1933 Pau Grand Prix was held in February 19, and the snow mixed with dirt, oil and gravel, resulted in quite interesting track conditions.

Correct. Now, as a bonus thing, who were they and where did they finish? I know Guerrero finished 2nd, but the other one is hard. I think Barbazza finished, but technically he hadn't been in F1 yet. I'm just going to take a stab and say the winner, Al Unser. After watching the full race, I think I ...

Nice to see, with this and his WTCC heroics he is becoming a truly inspirational figure, a Paralympic medal would be the icing on the cake. Alex never ceases to amaze me.

whilst Purley was trying to save his friend. I honestly doubt Peterson's ability to win the WDC. I think that even without the accident in Italy, Andretti's title was sealed. Although on paper 1979 was a year of parity, the Ferraris were in good control of both championships. By 1980, Lotus were al...

By 'The Greatest North American F1 Drivers' does that mean 'The Greatest North American who ever raced in a Grand Prix' or 'The Greatest North American who ever drove a Formula 1 car'?

What's the longest full name of an F1 driver? Longest I know is Nelson Angelo Tamsma Piquet Souto Maior, our favorite Brazilian driver and current NASCAR driver.

Straight from my head: Alfonso de Portago.

In 1990, Porsche take a gamble, and ask CART for permission to build a brand new carbon-fibre chassis. CART approves, but after intense lobbying by Team Penske and other teams, CART makes it illegal, leaving Porsche dangling on the cliff. They now have to redesign their car in a space of just over ...
