By my reckoning in 1991 there 36 cars in the pitlane – 19 teams, but Fondmetal and Coloni only entered one car each. Of those 36 cars, 19 of them failed to pre-qualify or qualify at least once during the season, […]

I’m not sure that most drivers would cite Senna as their role model. Some, of course: Hamilton, Senna, Massa, maybe Perez and Kobayashi. But Vettel looks up to Schumacher, Button and others to Prost.

Told an AUSTRIAN paper that the race might go to Portugal?
OK, call me cynical but I’ve been Bernie-watching for a while. This is a ploy to convince someone linked to Austria that they’d like the race at the […]

Just checked Keke Rosberg 1982 (only one win, in Dijon’s “Swiss” GP) and some of the 60s championships where only the […]
