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.

Why is the American flag the wrong way round on the right side of the car?

Wow. The sad part is that this isn’t as shocking to us F1 fans as it should be. He was clearly playing to his audience in Russia but he knew it would be reported around the world so he must have had an agenda, he […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Hamilton is second driver in five races to match Senna 7 years, 6 months ago
Hi @KeithCollantine, always find your stats articles interesting.
Just one thing, is it me or does the bit about Alonso’s number of starts make no sense? Where it says he
“has now started more races than all […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Welcome to the new-look F1 Fanatic 7 years, 6 months ago
Liking the update. Normally it takes a while to get used to an update on a site you know well but I immediately liked this. Looks like it was designed with both mobile and desktop platforms in mind. Seeing as I […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Verstappen given race penalty for engine cover failure 7 years, 6 months ago
Agreed. Been saying the same thing for a while now.
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Pressure growing on cash-strapped Lotus 7 years, 7 months ago
Well said Greg. Some good points that too many people are conveniently forgetting.
I can’t help but feel that Pirelli’s inconsistent PR stances aren’t helping them either.
Pirelli are far from perfect but they […]

Yep, agree on each point here.
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, New McLaren livery for Spanish Grand Prix revealed 7 years, 11 months ago
It’s not ground breaking but so far… I like it.
It’ll be good to see what it looks like on the track in daylight rather than under studio lights.
The black and red colours might look good at Singapore too.
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Sutil appointed as Williams reserve driver 8 years ago
Williams…. why?
It might be too soon for Alex but Susie should be ready to make the step up if required. They’re basically saying that she’s good enough for testing but not racing. Shame, hope this doesn’t end […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, No 'media mud fight' over van der Garde – Sauber 8 years ago
“Comment of the Week” right there? I think so.
@petebaldwin saying what I think the majority of us are thinking about this whole saga.
I think most F1 fans had a soft spot for Sauber over the years but they’ve […]

That Sauber video… are they proposing putting a Borat-style mankini on the car? That’s what it looked like.
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Top ten: Worst world championship title defences 8 years, 1 month ago
Agreed, Vettel’s 2014 defence was terrible by any standards. In fact, as I’ve said on here before he took another first:
In 2014 Vettel was the first ever defending F1 champion to fail to win a race all season […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Who will be eligible to race in Formula One next year? 8 years, 2 months ago
Another thought… isn’t this a little harsh on GP2 champions like Jolyon Palmer who aren’t able to get an F1 seat straight away? After three years those points won’t count any more but as a former champion, he […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Who will be eligible to race in Formula One next year? 8 years, 2 months ago
Am I missing something? Does this now mean that drivers can’t afford to ONLY be an F1 team’s third/reserve/development/test driver?
I know many try to race in other series already but with these rules they’d […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Twice-champion Hamilton ousts Alonso as one of F1's top five winners 8 years, 4 months ago
Interesting breakdown. I agree that the four Red Bull years often get thought of by a lot of people as a single block of 4 years of dominance but that just wasn’t the case. 2010 and 2012 were both close seasons. […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Twice-champion Hamilton ousts Alonso as one of F1's top five winners 8 years, 4 months ago
Thanks. I assumed it just hadn’t happened for a long time but when I checked the records it was a first! :-)
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Twice-champion Hamilton ousts Alonso as one of F1's top five winners 8 years, 4 months ago
Hamilton didn’t win the final race in 2008, Massa did. Lewis finished 5th which was still enough for the Championship.
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Twice-champion Hamilton ousts Alonso as one of F1's top five winners 8 years, 4 months ago
I believe I’m right with this one…
It’s been pointed out that this was the first time since 1998 that the reigning Champion failed to win a race (Vettel this year, Villeneuve in 1998).
However, Vettel is the […]
Swordsman_uk commented on the post, Marussia and Caterham avoid US GP penalties 8 years, 5 months ago
Sounds like a legal formality so that the FIA can hold the right to do something about it later if they choose to or if the situation changes.
