Alternate F1 History Competition

[Shadaza]

The year is 2014, in this alternate universe the F1 drivers we know from our universe for whatever reason never existed! F1 as a sport exists in this universe but it's superstars are not the ones we know, but who are the new heavy hitters in F1? The competition is to create the most convincing F1 line up, with all real F1 drivers never having existed. This means you need to fill the roster with real drivers that never made it to F1.

This is a competition which means you need to give the likes of Tom Kristensen and Luca Fillipi a chance!

But what's this there is more? The circuits they are racing on are different too, when constructing the 2014 calender you must NOT include circuits that were on the real 2014 season calender. Good Luck. I will enter my own example line up but won't be in the hunt for winning, we will vote for the champion.

Well done, HawkAussie. The most sentient spambot we've ever had.

This alternate scenario rests on the idea that the 2008 Global Financial Crisis never happened and the manufacturers ramped up their domination of F1. I'm also doing the first drive thing that peteroli34 did because it's fun. I tried to base my calendar on tracks with an FIA Grade 1 cert, not entirely possible unfortunately.
