F1 Drivers / F1s top ten highest paid drivers in 24 season

« Last post by John S on Today at 03:15:47 PM »

The list is hardly surprising, however some of the bonus payments make my eyes water.
I can't explain Checo's,  must be a percentage for bringing so many sponsors.

F1 Drivers / Re: What happened to Jarno Trulli

« Last post by cosworth151 on December 13, 2024, 04:19:14 PM »

Thanks, John S! Jarno was always a favorite of mine. I've always considered the "Trulli Train" to be a badge of honor. One of the most important parts of a racer's job is not letting yourself be passed, even in a boat anchor Toyota.

Jarno was also one of my favorite parts of the USGP when it was at Indy. Seeing him roll into the Speedway on a Harley every morning was far more impressive (and fun) than of the phony flash at Miami & Vegas.

When it was announced that Haas, my current favorite F1 team, was getting tangled up with Toyota, I felt the same way I did when Jarno signed with them.    :'(

Nice to hear he's given up motorsport for winemaking, there's hope for all of us.

They forgot to mention his greatest F1 legacy - the 'Trulli Train'.

General F1 Discussion / Has FIA president been playing clever game unseen by F1 press/media?

« Last post by John S on December 13, 2024, 01:21:00 PM »

All the flak being directed at President Ben Sulayem by F1 pundits and press core may have missed a vital point, good financial governance is attractive to worldwide motorsport clubs who were responsible for voting him in; they can do so again next year.

There is more to the FIA than F1 and the President has to mind & support all levels of motorsport & motoring.
F1 may be it's worldwide shop window but the way F1s spoils are divided is decidedly very lopsided in favour of the commercial rights holder rather than it's true owner, the FIA.

Maybe Liberty will not like this good financial governance news, after all they appear to regularly stoke up bad feeling about Ben Sulayem.
Every week, or so it seems, we have been fed countless accounts of run ins, supposed indiscretions & firings by the FIA President. Whilst there has undoubtedly been frictions inside FIA it always seems to make headline news, where as the strange fiasco of Liberty stone walling Andretti's legitimate bid, due to one mans hatred of the other, got almost no press.

General F1 Discussion / Re: Cadillac/Andretti team to use Ferrari engines on F1 26 debut

« Last post by cosworth151 on December 11, 2024, 06:14:10 PM »

Interesting that the two American teams will be the Ferrari customers.

Even though Ferrari would like to win themselves, having Cadillac-Ferrari (assuming they use the Ferrari name, not mentioned in the article) put together some wins would be a good boost in the American market.

I doubt they will say anything about Ferrari. The word Mercedes doesn't appear anywhere on an Aston Martin F1 car (or on the team website).

For Caddy, Ferrari will be like that one uncle that nobody in the family ever talks about.

Cadillac/Andretti have signed a deal to buy Ferrari engines and gearboxes as a customer until its own PU is on stream, which is not expected to be before 2028.

This means Ferrari will continue to have two customer teams in 2026 despite losing Sauber to Audi's own factory entry PU.

F1 Drivers / The F1 MAOAT driver, wonder if you can guess who?

« Last post by John S on December 11, 2024, 12:56:16 PM »

Light hearted look at who is F1s most average driver of all time (MAOAT - get it!).

Watch out for Bob Scott & Jimmy Reece. 
I suspect like everyone I was going - who????
