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.

Say what you will about Eddie Irvine, bloke risked his balls making it to the chequered flag!

That’s the exact moment Fernando says “GP2, AARGH!” – Note the moisture on the camera.

You can literally see Fernando’s tears of regret on the screen…

Alonso to Renault, winning a 3rd title for them! Why not – it’s a writer’s dream and Pastor’s contribution would be paying his salary! Let the silly season rumors restart!

@keithcollantine :-D I’m honoured by the theft! I can’t claim ownership though – I recall it from another F1 fans website (Just noticed I spelled Merhi as Mehri – oops)

In essence, a driver Mehri-go-round. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)

Sounds like a last-ditch throw of the dice for Rossi – he’s been excruciatingly close to a drive several times. Nothing much to lose at this stage probably – he can’t circulate much longer in GP2 and the door at […]

Hapless Habsburg. According to this link he did get out of the care, was speaking to medical staff before being stretchered away to an ambulance. Interesting to know a member of the Habsburg family does racing!
plutoniumhunter commented on the post, Honda engine 'more powerful than Renault' 7 years, 7 months ago
If Arai’s estimates are indeed true, McLaren-Honda’s troubles sound familiar to Ferrari’s problems of yesteryear – they handicapped their engine in favour of their aero, and also had problems with harvesting. […]

I just had a crazy brainwave – drivers who have penalties that exceed what they can possibly serve should do a Le Mans – style start.

I believe they’re using another new engine for FP2, so maybe hammer time would come in FP3 or Quali.
plutoniumhunter commented on the post, Rosberg on top as Maldonado crash interrupts session 7 years, 7 months ago
Well Honda came good on their promise to catch up with the Ferrari engine – unfortunately it was with a powered down one in the back of the mostly-aerodynamically-unchanged-from-Melbourne Sauber.

I had to do a double take – haven’t seen Kimi flashing such a wide smile in ages.

By my calculations, from 2012 he should have 28 points if he finishes 3rd this year in FR3.5 – not quite enough.
plutoniumhunter commented on the post, Button 'gassed during burglary in France' 7 years, 7 months ago
All he needs to do is show up in Jenson’s helmet and overalls, and moan about understeer every few laps while imitating a British accent – the team will be none the wiser.

I’d never thought I’d be happy to see the finger. Tears as the german + italian anthems played, memories of Michael Schumacher.
