Junior formulae have their fair share of such pairings, but one that springs to mind is the iSport International lineup from GP2's maiden season. Scott Speed , for whom GP2 was a significant step up from Formula Renault 2000, scored 67.5 of iSport's 69.5 points on his way to P3, conceding only to He...

Viktor Maslov, backed by Lukoil funding that supported Christian Horner's fledling Team Arden, was touted as a potential first Russian F1 driver. However, his three-year Formula 3000 career consists of 32 races, with 15 DNQs (10 of which is his entire 1999 season), yielding no points and ultimately ...

He is indeed

The rumor has it that his times were consistently better than those clocked when Sirotkin was at the wheel. By what margin - that's another thing, but I can imagine he was much, much quicker.

Robert Kubica tested a GP3 car recently. I wonder where this is going, given that he quit his last job at MyKolles in WEC

#BringBackColinKolles

I know this might belong in the "Unpopular Opinions" thread but honestly - Colin has proven himself to do well with subpar machinery, and given that Manor's performance might improve significantly for 2016, I'd love to see him be in charge of a respectable outfit.

Let me tell you something - I thought it was just him doing glory laps to appease the sponsors, but it seems to me that Nobuharu Matsushita is actually pretty good.
Not just good for a Japanese driver who's on his first season of racing in Europe, but GP2-driver-F1-prospect good

Vettel - It's been a long time since we saw a Ferrari crossing the finish line first, and I never thought I would enjoy this sight as much as I do now STR - pulled off some good moves, finished ahead of seasoned RBR drivers. Enough said. Honourable Mention goes to Merhi and Manor in general. They h...

Is it just me, or Monisha Kaltenborn has completely missed the point of Giedo's actions towards Sauber? From her words I figured out that she's shocked that someone had the nerve to point out what seems to be an obvious breach of contract. She does have a point about the moral principles - had VDG p...

In order to enliven the RWMT - that, by the way, will be renamed more properly and will be expanded with a feeder series - my plan is to pull off a post-season Motorcycle World Cup thingy.

When was the last time the team was present during the Grand Prix but didn't participate? May it be that Manor has managed to be the first team since Mastercard Lola's failed attempt to start in Brazil in 1997?

I'm hearing it'll be Fabio Leimer instead; he was due to drive in Super Formula, but his contract was cancelled for unknown reasons. The reason is simple - insufficient funds.

If Marussia does arrive in Melbourne, bringing two MR03, maybe with some minor updates to it adopted from MR04, a handful of people and obviously two paydrivers, I still wonder - what will they use to make the cars move?
