Max Verstappen could secure the title in the Sprint Race in Qatar. Technically, this would mean he would equal Michael Schumacher's 2002 record of winning the title with 6 races to go. He only needs to finish 6th or higher or, if he fails to score, have Perez finish 4th or lower. At the rate he's g...

Jake Hill wins Race 1 from Dan Rowbottom and Andrew Watson, Mikey Doble recovers to 11th after mistakenly doing an extra warm-up lap and having to start from the back, Daryl DeLeon scores his first points in 14th. Sam Osborne notably running his Focus in the colours of the Valvoline Mondeo of 1995 a...

Gutted for Dan Lloyd, just half a lap away from scoring the first win for the Cupra at Donington Park in the reverse-grid race, but happy for Rory Butcher finally breaking his and Speedworks' 2023 duck.

Mikey Doble on pole for Race 1 at Silverstone.

Oscar Piastri for finally scoring his first podium!

The current Points System: Thanks to the inclusion of Sprint races (I know there wasn't one in Suzuka) and the points system used for them, Sergio Perez is still mathematically in contention for the title but if in the more-than-likelihood of Max Verstappen finishing 6th or higher in the Sprint race...

2 Wins out of 3 for Dan Cammish in the 2023 BTCC season-opener and a wet Race 2 sees Tom Chilton score his first win since 2019. The real star of Race 2 has got to be Nic Hamilton though, finishing in P6, could have been even better if he hadn't run wide a couple of times but still! It was great to...

Without Fernando Alonso, I dare say Aston Martin this year would be a contender for this thread

Har1MAS1415

There isn't already a thread for this, is there?

I know there's one for ROTR.

Can we include non-Championship races? (Sorry for the resurrection) 1978 BRDC International Trophy: The World Champions, only Emerson Fittipaldi made the finish and he was driving for his brother's team by this time, plus he got beaten by a Theodore! Remember, Keke Rosberg was only in his 2nd F1 rac...

Can we include non-Championship races? (Sorry for the resurrection)

1978 BRDC International Trophy:

All 5 (classified) finishers, especially race winner Keke Rosberg, in a Theodore in only his 2nd F1 race!

Having had Big Zeddie cover 2000 on YouTube, and me do an alternative championship for that year along with it (ie lose Ferrari and McLaren and see what you're left with) - Fisichella scored 49 points up to Canada and 3 for the rest of the year :-) Well Fisichella had seasons like that three years ...

I count 6, I think:

Bahrain 2018
Imola, Silverstone, Monza and Saudi Arabia 2021 (Brazil was a near-miss)
Brazil 2022

I've lost count.

Har1MAS1415

In more recent times, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, must be at least three times now.

The Lola T95/30 springs to mind. Didn't help that it didn't have an airbox for a start.

One of my favorite drop offs is one that I still remember left us shaking our heads at the time Stefano Colleti GP2 2013 After 11 races he’s sat top of the standings with 135 points, he’s had 3 wins, 7 podiums, 1 pole, 2 fastest laps and only 2 no scores to this point In the last 11 races he scored...

"The Flying Dutchmen"

Christijan Albers, Robert Doornbos and Nyck de Vries.

The late Will Hoy in the 1995 British Touring Car Championship: After 14 rounds, he has only 51 points to his name and has yet to score a podium, letalone a win. His team-mate Alain Menu, by this time, has 3 Wins and 180 points. In the remaining 11 races, the 1991 Champion finishes 8 times, all but ...

Now it's a Le Mans Winner with Antonio Giovinazzi!

Will Powell out of One Motorsport, Jade Edwards returns in his place, Daryl DeLeon becomes the BTCC's first Filipino driver as he replaces Edwards at Team HARD.

Now we can add Daniel Ricciardo:

Drove for Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri in 2012-2013 and in 2023 from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards.

Hungary 2023 will be the first race to have two Aussies on the grid since Brazil 2013.

Will Nyck de Vries last until the end of the season? Just throwing it out there. No. Place your bets on who will be the unlucky victim to be sacked after scoring zero points in the remainder of the season, in a car that deserves exactly that. Will Liam Lawson's bright future be torn to shreds in th...

Which got me thinking, what other teams/drivers have started a season like a greyhound, only to finish it like a snail, and why? This thread doesn't have to be confined to F1, any race series can be discussed... The Ford works team in the 1995 British Touring Car Championship. After 16 races: Paul ...

Will Nyck de Vries last until the end of the season? Just throwing it out there. I think that he might just last until the end of the season, if only because it's plausible to me that Red Bull might put Liam Lawson into one of the Alpha Tauri cars in a free practice session first. I suspect Lawson ...

I'd put Pietro Fittipaldi in that line-up so it would be all Brazilians.

Modern times, Alex Rossi (look what he did in Indy) and Guanyu Zhou. I believe he has real potential, and I never hated him when he got the Alfa seat over Piastri. I hated Alpine and their management of him instead, and look what happened :P I believe that he will exit Rejectdom, so as an alternati...

Who's the 5th?
Remove Mazepin, insert Nyck de Vries, it's only a matter of time before NdV unrejectifies himself at Alpha Tauri in 2023.

Or not at this rate.

How recent are we actually talking anyway?

I just had a random thought, though I've probably had it before, what with that other thread about rejects and never-got-a-chance-in-F1 drivers getting to drive for a hypothetical broke team that needed a driver quickly...

Right! 3rd time lucky with the threads! Norris, enough said. HM: Piastri, gutted not to get his first podium. Lewis for getting on the podium after starting 7th and dropping to 8th. Albon because how long is it since Williams have looked this competitive? Perez for getting as high as 6th but if he c...

Ferrari, from 4th and 5th on the grid to 9th and 10th in the race, is this really the same team who won here last year?

DHM - Lance Stroll, exceeding track limits and taking out Pierre Gasly and also Sergio Perez for his qualifying performance.

Red Bull's 11th win in a row, matching McLaren's 1988 record. First British GP double-podium for the Brits since 1999. Logan Sargeant's 11th is the best for an American driver since Scott Speed's 9th at Monaco in 2007. Oscar Piastri's 4th matches Danny Ric's best result for McLaren, excluding Monza ...
