Those who believe that van der Garde is because of his uncompromising approach in the paddock persona non grata, is wrong Wow, the drivers back one of their own. Call me shocked.

According to Spanish newspaper El País, Alonso thought he was in 1995 after his accident... I can't believe a word of that. m It's just asking for a Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes-type series to be made. "My name is Fernando Alonso. I had an accident and woke up in 1995. Am I mad, in a coma, or b...

Reynolds Metals was indeed the right answer. How did you guess? I had no memory of this. The articles were also saying that they were in discussions with a few other teams, but without naming names.

Even Giancarlo Minardi is expressing his opinion.

Bernie Ecclestone should just pay for Giancarlo Minardi to have an F1 team in perpetuity.

Haryanto does have some talent - he was pretty promising early on. His problem was that he joined Addax at the wrong time. You can't fault him for it, since they were a good team at the time, but Alejandro Agag was focusing on Formula E and Addax got neglected, which showed in their results (and th...

Sarah Moore had potential, as she won the Ginetta Junior Championship back in 2009, but she struggled in the same series in 2010, did okay but not great in InterSteps (like a slightly worse version of Formula Ford) in 2011, and then ran out of money (from the look of it), and most recently was racin...

I have finished looking for articles in my supply of F1 News magazines from 1992 to 1998, and still have some articles to scan, crop, upload and then post-edit.

It would be interesting if F1 went back to Imola. The Variante Bassa chicane is gone now, so Rivazza 2 to Tamburello is flat-out again, but they stick the chicane back in for the motorbikes.
