Re: Unusual F1 Stats
You mean that they switched back to teams over and over again? Because Tuero was at Minardi on three completely separate stints, but never drove for other teams. Giancarlo Fisichella was with Benetton and Jordan, along with their successor teams: Jordan / Force India - 1997; 2002-3; 2008-9 Benetton...

Re: Unusual F1 Stats
If Alonso joins Renault for 2018, he has been at the same team for 3 different periods. Who have already succeeded in doing this? Pierluigi Martini is the only one i can think of. I think Fisichella did it with Jordan/Force India. 1997, 2002/3, 2008/9 Mansell at Williams? 85-88, 91-92, 94. Not sure...

Re: Massa will retire at the end of the season
Goodbye Felipe, you will be missed greatly. The 2008 Brazilian GP is the only time something on television has made me cry. The emotion pouring out of poor Felipe on the podium was heartbreaking. I have watched F1 since 2002 and Felipe and Mark Webber are my 2 favourite drivers of this period (possi...

Actually, TWR had taken over Hart and merged it with Arrows, and the engines they used were modified versions of the Hart-designed Yamaha engine from 1997. I may be wrong but weren't the Yamahas were built by Judd rather than Hart? I always thought the "Arrows" V10 was an all new Hart des...
