F2
Formula 2 is considered the foremost single-seater feeder series to Formula 1. F2 has existed in three different guises over the years. Until 1984 the championship was an open series for manufacturers of different chassis, engines and tyres. However that championship was phased out and replaced by Formula 3000. F2 was later revived as a one-make series between 2009. However the series failed to attain the prominence of GP2, which had replaced F3000 and raced almost exclusively on the F1 support bill. The new F2 lasted just four seasons. In 2016 Liberty Media took over the running of F1 and purchased GP2, then rebranded it as Formula 2 in 2017.

IndyCar
The most famous IndyCar race is the Indianapolis 500, held annually at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in front of huge crowds. However American open-wheel racing has a chequered history. The championship reached its peak in the late eighties and early nineties under the sanctioning body CART. It attracted huge international attention as Formula 1 champions including Nigel Mansell, Emerson Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti competed in it. However the creation of the rival Indy Racing League in 1996 created a split which badly damaged the championship. CART, which rebranded as Champ Car, fell into decline. By 2008, with Champ Car on the bring of collapse, the two series finally merged, but the damage had been. Nonetheless today’s IndyCar championship retains a reputation for spectacular racing with its single-specification chassis and features a broad range of circuits including road, street and traditional American oval courses.
FE
Formula E is a recent additional to international motorsport. The all-electric single-seater racing championship was set up by the FIA in 2014. The series races exclusively on street circuits.
WEC
The World Endurance Championship is the leading worldwide series for prototype road-based sports cars. The series’ signature race is the Le Mans 24 Hours, held annually at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France.

Aleš Norský commented on the post, Hamilton welcomes "cool" new driver introductions but rivals aren't convinced 1 month ago

LAS VEGAS RISING!
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Climate change makes me question my F1 future says Vettel as he talks Putin, Brexit and more 1 year ago

I understand where he is coming from but I see no need for racecar drivers to feel guilty for doing their job they love. Sure, we all as individuals should act responsibly, but it is up to politicians and industry […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Is DRS "here to stay" or creating "go-kart races"? It's still too soon to say 1 year, 2 months ago

@Jerejj I am OK with that :-)
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Is DRS "here to stay" or creating "go-kart races"? It's still too soon to say 1 year, 2 months ago

On no DRS restrictions…wouldn’t it be the same as nobody having DRS? Id its use is limited the drivers would really need to think about it, especially in combination with battery charges.
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Is DRS "here to stay" or creating "go-kart races"? It's still too soon to say 1 year, 2 months ago

Nobody would be forcing the teams to send out cars in unsafe condition, would they? This rule (as well as those others) are on the books for about 15 years…racing was doing just fine for 100 years before that. […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Is DRS "here to stay" or creating "go-kart races"? It's still too soon to say 1 year, 2 months ago

Agreed about Zandvoort (my FB post was done well before that) this is how it used to be. But for one reason or another, we have those large paved run-off areas now and rules are needed. Say there are corners that […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Is DRS "here to stay" or creating "go-kart races"? It's still too soon to say 1 year, 2 months ago

I’m in…but good luck to us. I too have been saying this for years and even discussed it with Charlie Whiting. He was 100% for No.1 but said teams were strongly opposed. But he loved DRS and was not in favor of […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Is DRS "here to stay" or creating "go-kart races"? It's still too soon to say 1 year, 2 months ago

THREE THINGS I WOULD CHANGE ON DAY 1 (if somebody finally put me in charge)

1. Teams should not be permitted to work on cars during red flag periods. Currently, unlimited amount of work could be performed on […]

Aleš Norský commented on the post, F1 drivers explain why they agreed to race in Saudi Arabia despite "concerns" over attack 1 year, 2 months ago

The truth is F1 should never had expanded to Saudi Arabia in the first place. This year’s cancellation of the Russian GP underlines that fact even more.
Aleš Norský commented on the post, FIA details plans for F1's 'VAR' and new sporting director in wake of Abu Dhabi row 1 year, 2 months ago

Forgive me if I am yawning. The main thing here is the fact that the most absurd red-flag and safety-car rules are still in place. They were an absolute curse of (primarily) 2021 season and inevitably will create […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, F1's sprint race rules change won't end pole position confusion 1 year, 3 months ago

That is why my statistics (http://www.gpfactsandnumbers.com/statistics/) differentiate between the fastest qualifying lap and pole position…always did.
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Masi "more than capable" of emulating Whiting's success as F1 race director 1 year, 4 months ago

I am tired of hearing over and again that the stewards and race director have a “very difficult job”…so what? Lot of people don’t have it easy and if they can’t handle it, someone else maybe can. I don’t […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, FIA officially approves Jeddah track for F1 ahead of inaugural race weekend 1 year, 6 months ago

Ridiculous. Brings memories of the Korean track a decade ago…although if I remember that one was homologated at least few more days in advance.
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Hamilton criticises Saudi Arabia's "terrifying" LGBTQ+ laws and stance on women's rights 1 year, 6 months ago

Agreed.
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Should Formula 1 have the same stewards at every race? 1 year, 6 months ago

There needs to be permanent Chief Steward with final decision-making authority over the assisting stewards. With 20+ race seasons, maybe there could be two or maximum three of these Chief Stewards, who would […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, F1 should spare us the 20-hour steward debates and 'Judge Judy' antics 1 year, 6 months ago

So, it took the stewards 22½ hours to decide they are not going to review the turn 4 incident at all. If they did review it, I am sure it would have taken just fraction of that time.
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Norris believes stewards let Verstappen force Hamilton wide because run-off wasn't gravel 1 year, 6 months ago

Inconsistency of steward’s decisions has been an issue for years, whatever the FIA says. Usually, they seem rather strict and only “let them race” when it is convenient for the current situation. Rationale for […]
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Should Ricciardo have been penalised for first-lap collision with Bottas? 1 year, 7 months ago

Maybe you’re right, but it only highlights how inconsistent FIA is on these racing incidents, because there were plenty of penalties dished out for similar incidents earlier in the year…
Aleš Norský commented on the post, Hamilton: Bottas 'left the door open for Verstappen' at the start 1 year, 7 months ago

He is 100% correct. For some reason Bottas seemed to defend against Hamilton, keeping both their cars on the dirtier side and leaving clean path wide open to Verstappen, who was then able to carry more speed and […]
