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.

Nitzo commented on the post, Russell reveals "strange" first experience of being booed at F1 race 9 months ago
@maichael
What makes you think booing is negative and disruptive ? When has it ever been that way ?
Proesterchen commented on the post, Sainz backs F1's Safety Car rule change after lost chance to fight for "first win" in Abu Dhabi 1 year ago
@maichael
“Carlos Sainz’ supposed chance for a win in Abu Dhabi exists solely in his own imagination.”
That’s my point.

@maichael. Of course and Mercedes didn’t beg Masi to not release a safety car during the VSC.
BasCB commented on the post, Haas's Russian-coloured F1 car skirts ban on country's flag in sport 2 years ago
Exactly @maichael. Not to mention Uralkali’s corporate colours are different.
David BR commented on the post, Hamilton's knighthood gives him and his sport deserved and overdue recognition 2 years, 2 months ago
@maichael As a republican, I agree. But that oppression has worked by making black people invisible too. Lewis Hamilton’s recognition undoes some of that. (Sir) Steve McQueen, black British film director and […]

@maichael
Yeah, I have trouble with it too. That was lousy, but it ended up working for him. I can’t consider someone who drives like that a star.

@maichael The picture is only a screenshot.
I’m being very pedantic here but to be clear it is a photograph, not a screenshot from the race footage.

@maichael
Humans are naturally cruel too. I think Lewis could have a lot harder time if he met the ‘worst of humanity’. He really doesn’t help himself with some of his comments. He is a lot nicer person than […]

@maichael Sorry but that is just ********, Webber has ignored team orders in the past and you think he’d suddenly agree to deliberately crash into another competitor?
Jono commented on the post, 2012 Abu Dhabi GP tyre strategies and pit stops 10 years, 4 months ago
@maichael – sadly for most, things are always what they seem…until watergates & crashgates occur. I noticed – plowing into Grosjean is infinitely more covert than plowing into a wall. Horner>Briatore xD

@maichael What are you suggesting?
