This is the only legitimate, performance-based championship that I've seen the other Scheckter get remotely close, let alone put up a legitimate, close fight for the title.

We have Ribeiro to thank for that, though, I bet.

1. Lando Norris -- Given his form at the tail end of last year, I didn't expect much. But he was a place away from the podium positions and he outclassed Ricky. Not a bad innings at all.

2. Yuki Tsunoda -- Points on debut. Didn't swear on the radio during the race. Always a win

WaffleCat

1. The Russian Automobile Federation spokesperson -- He deserves the hate he gets. He deserves everyone deriding him for a lack of talent. His antics in qualifying already put him on my ROTR. Add on the fact that his debut lasted exactly as long as Marco Apicella's career, all thanks to himself (yes...

1987 Season (Best 11 Results) (Points:9-6-4-3-2-1) All other seasons in the past were quite open, but by the ninth race of the season, this title race looked as good as done.

1986 Season (Best 11 Results) (Points:9-6-4-3-2-1) Piquet did not take too kindly to Senna destroying the record books last year. His chance for a three-peat was ruined.

I think it just comes with the evolution of the sport, especially calendar expansion. Like think of next year's calendar expanding to 22 races. For comparison, it would've taken three whole seasons from 1950 to hit that mark. If there were indeed 22 races per season in 1950 (maybe there were if we c...

1. The clever chap who placed a sausage kerb on the outside of Parabolica -- One of the trickiest turns on the calendar, a unique sweeping hairpin where it's common for cars to go wide in an attempt to pick up momentum for the main straight. Let's put a sausage kerb there. Jesus. When would they le...

Okay, teensy bump ( actually a massive bump but oh well ), but I recently posted an article on Singapore's embarrassing attempt to race in the World Cup of Motorsport, A1GP.

Guys, I probably found the most rejectful moment in Alex Yoong's illustrious career. And it's not in F1.

Behold, the crowning glory of his racing career.

WaffleCat

Team Astromega would like to clarify what Alex Yoong did clearly wasn't a " divebomb " on Toccacelo. Instead, it was a calculated manouver intended to clear the way for the unbelievably talented Jan Heylen to progress up the STT2 rankings. Of course, his calculations were a little off and ...

So we're not having qualifying being posted then? I can if you want - thought I'd see how this format goes down but I welcome any and all feedback. So - grids for Championship rounds?

Astromega is pleased to welcome both Alex Yoong and Jan Heylen in our team.

If possible, for the British F3000, we'll try to sign the following drivers, in order of preference, to replace the absent seat left by Yoong:

1. Ralph Firman
2. Bas Leinders
3. Olivier Beretta
4. Nicky Pastorelli

du Chalard finally delivers on his pace! And I love how the race pretended like it would be boring. I tell you, it was boring for the first 20 minutes or so, save the occasional pass in the midfield.
