Alternate F1 - The Current Era (2011 is GO!)

[SeedStriker]

Team: McLaren Mercedes

Strategy: using a main driver

Driver #1: Felipe Nasr
Driver #2: Robert Wickens

Super Aguri sells a place to a rookie.

[FMecha]

I'll let others provide two rookies for me, but they must be Spanish or Finnish in nationality. Therefore, two-rookie strategy is being used.

1: Roope Kalliokoski (FIN, from roblomas52)
2: TBA (Finnish or Spanish drivers only)

How about Formula 3 star of the future Roope Kalliokoski from Finland who came second on his debut at the F3 Masters at Zandvoort?

How about Formula 3 star of the future Rokki Lominen from Finland who came second on his debut at the F3 Masters at Zandvoort?

I'm just stepping in to say that that name makes no sense whatsoever.

Oops, sorry about that. I have edited the original post and I am sorry If I offended anyone with the original name.

Oops, sorry about that. I have edited the original post and I am sorry If I offended anyone with the original name.

Ah, don't worry. I wasn't offended, I just want to make sure that anyone entering Finnish drivers uses realistic names.

What's the big deal about Finnish or Spanish drivers?

Well, his team's main sponsor is Nokia, so that's where the Finnish comes from. Don't ask me about Spain, though.

2011 Caffe Nicchi Gran Premio d'Italia I - Race


-- Positives --
Rhys Davies - fulfilled the dream of every Ferrari driver ever by winning in Monza.

Nathan McKane - great job to profit from Kubica's and Valsecchi's mistakes to get 18 valueable points.

Force India-Renault - de facto the strongest team on the track, even Valsecchi's last-lap mistake can't prevent the team from grabbing INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE.

Nico Rosberg - great job by the German to make use of his Sauber.

Shinobu Katayama - a monster start could have equalled so many points, but alas it was not to be.

-- Negatives --
Sebastién Bourdais - he had a great chance to make up points after Kubica's race went awry, but he blew it.

Renault - their pace was not adequate and they will look to work on their setup for tomorrow.

Robert Kubica - losing out on a massive morale booster in the WDC through driver error means REJECT OF THE RACE.

Ralf Alden - being almost 30 seconds behind your team mate is just ridiculous.

Sergio Pérez - if Rosberg was Sauber's hero, Perez was more like Sauber's zero.

Since you asked for it on IRC Klon, I will add Neil "Nanuq" Sagan (USA - yes, he's Native American) and Paulo Serafim (Portugese) to the list of KQ's works drivers.

Race Control Addendum: Car #3 (James James Davies) was handed a race ban for causing an avoidable accident involving car #0 (Rhys Davies). This incident triggers his suspended two race ban.
Race Control Addendum: Car #19 (Sergio Pérez) was handed a suspended race ban for causing an avoidable accident involving car #2 (Robert Kubica) and car #3 (James James Davies).
Race Control Addendum: Sauber F1 Team Ferrari have been fined €1.000.000 due to their driver in car #18 (Nico Rosberg) causing an avoidable accident involving car #0 (Rhys Davies)

-- Positives --
Nathan McKane - made a great job, stayed out of trouble on lap 1 and led ever since to the final flag.

McLaren-Mercedes - they are back at the top, it seems, and may haul themselves even further up the WCC.

Williams-Honda - a miserable season so far but two cars with P4 and P6 gets them INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE.

Ralf Alden - so close to getting his first F1 points but sadly he was not successful.

Rubens Barrichello - good run by the Brazilian to make a statement at the place his team mate had his comeback last year.

-- Negatives --
Stefan-Renault - even though Katayama can be forgiven since she needed to pit but Nakajima showed that the team is still not as good as they'd like to be.

Sebastién Bourdais - if he ends up losing the title he will regret weekends like these where he could have done so much more.

James James Davies - not only is he miles off McKane's pace, he spins out trying to pass a slowing Perez and then gets banned for an accident: REJECT OF THE RACE!

Alexandre Voeckler - his pace was atrocious and the mistake that put him down to P20 was just amateurish, he must try harder next week.

Sergio Perez - he can be lucky he was not banned for staying on the track despite having a fatal transmission problem.

2011 LG Gran Premio del Uruguay I - Race


-- Positives --
Robert Kubica - perfect result to tighten his grip on the world championship thropy.

Nico Rosberg - while pole did not quite result in the win, his performance is the INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE for sure.

Sergio Pérez - while the rumours about his F1 future are not clear, it was clear that he did a great job today.

Esteban Guerreri - after a great start all he needed to do was keep it out of the walls in what may very well be his home race.

Shinbou Katayama - she did very well until an unforunate accident ended her day.

-- Negatives --
Jenson Button - P3 may not be a negative but losing a race you dominate by a careless spin is one.

Kazuki Nakajima - was miles off Shinbou Katayama's speed and while he did get points, the team should expect more of him.

Nathan McKane - a very disappointing result for McKane who looked like he could make an impact in the world title battle.

Dean Stoneman - quite frankly, his performance today was so awful it just forces me to give him REJECT OF THE RACE!

Crashing Drivers - virtually all of the retirements (except d'Ambrosio's) were down to driver error or lack of grip and not a single crash between cars.

Robert Wickens - he had to yield pole position to his team mate but took the lead and the win after all.

Esteban Guerreri - fourth place is INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE for the Argentinian driver.

Sauber-Ferrari - another great result for the team which will help their chances for 2012.

Davide Valsecchi - recovered well from the failure in Q1 to score a few points.

Nathan McKane - again he dropped a few valueable points to the Polish championship leader.

Pastor Maldonado - the 10th place was valueable, however losing two places in the last two laps is atrocious.

Alexandre Voeckler - his pace was not really competitive and he couldn't pass Maldonado whereas Valsecchi and Nakajima could.

Jenson Button - he dropped down the order pretty fast and gets REJECT OF THE RACE for it.

Sebastian Vettel - unfortunate to get stuck behind a turned-around Shinbou Katayama but never looked like making up for it.

Race Control Addendum: Mercedes GP Petronas F1 Team have been fined €5.000.000 due to their driver in car #1 (Daniel Melrose) causing an avoidable accident involving car #2 (Nathan McKane) and car #4 (Robert Kubica).

-- Positives --
Nico Rosberg - he got his and Sauber's first win with a mature drive, earning him INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE.

Shinobu Katayama - while she did lose out in the end, a second place is still very valueable for Stefan.

Romain Grosjean - a heroic effort by the Frenchman to make the most of a miserable qualifying.

Pastor Maldonado - faultless (well, almost) drive by the Venezuelan hero to get another bunch of points for KQ.

Rubens Barrichello - the hero of the Brazilian fans used all of his skills to bring the Super Aguri into the points, a job well done.

-- Negatives --
Daniel Melrose - runs into the championship contenders at the start, could not fight a Sauber and Stefan afterwards before being put down to P7 due to needing a quick pitstop.

Robert Wickens - had a chance to get away with two wins in a row but that one fell apart quickly.

Robert Kubica - with both of his rivals for the title out of the race, Kubica apparentely decided he could bathplug around a bit: REJECT OF THE RACE.

Christian Klien - could have given Sauber the double points but it was not to be.

Jenson Button - a classic case of wanting too much, he could have easily scored another win but threw it away by being impatient.

Vitaly Petrov - despite the fact that the Williams was undriveable today, he still stole the final point in an impressive performance.

Lewis Hamilton - his one driving error did cost him the race but to come back to P12 despite missing a sidepod is amazing beyond belief.

-- Negatives --
James James Davies - do not be fooled: despite four points his driving today was atrocious to say the very least.

Robert Kubica - "is he mentally fit to win the championship?" is what the people ask after he choked away two races.

Sebastian Vettel - even though the Williams-Honda was bad to drive, you would expect more from a hyped talent, and that means REJECT OF THE RACE.

Sergio Pérez - another possible bunch of Sauber points flushed down the drain.

Alexandre Voeckler - he was not the only one to spin, but the only one to act like an idiot whilst doing so, ending Nathan McKane's race and earning a ban for it.

2011 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix I - Race


-- Positives --
Lewis Hamilton - an amazing drive to take the lead when it was on offer and win it impressively.

Romain Grosjean - earns INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE with a great comeback drive to take fifth.

Nicolás Fontana - great job by the Argentinian rookie who wants to stay in F1 at any cost.

Jérôme d'Ambrosio - he came so close to being the hero of Lola today, he can be proud of himself.

Daniel Melrose - the first race of perhaps the final stint of the four times champion of the world's F1 career showed what could and should have been a dominant win.

-- Negatives --
Red Bull-Honda - two absolutely amateurish errors ended Red Bull's dreams of winning their first World Constructor's Championship.

Sebastian Vettel - second REJECT OF THE RACE in two races for the German, lazy spins are just not what Williams need.

Davide Valsecchi - could have ended up where Fontana ended up, but threw it away.

Sergio Pérez - his second error in two races, just like Vettel, is not helping his chances.

Nicolas Prost - one more chance was given to him to perhaps save his F1 career and he blew it by being careless at the start.

JJD linked to Stefan, Red Bull, Ferrari for 2012?

Following his acrimonious departure from Mercedes, where both sides accused the other of ripping them off, it has since been revealed that James James Davies is looking for a seat on the 2012 F1 grid. Among the teams he is rumoured to be in discussions with are Stefan, Red Bull, and Ferrari.

"I'm still in my prime, no matter what those losers at Mercedes say," said Davies in an interview, "They couldn't handle me telling them their designers were about as capable as a rock ape. So they tossed me out, and I'm perfectly fine with that, because I don't need my good name tarnished by such a ridiculous melange of amateurish idiots."

This continued for a good half hour before Davies was finally brought back on topic.

"I'm a championship winning driver. I don't have time for teams that aren't committed to that. As far as I can see, there's probably 3 teams that can do that. Ferrari have a real strong package - anyone in that car's gonna be a threat for the title, except maybe Ralf Alden. So obviously I wouldn't mind getting in that situation, since that'd be pretty much game over for everyone else for the title. Another strong team is Red Bull - the car they've had, it's amazing that they haven't been running away with both titles, and you really have to point the finger at the drivers there, they've both been really underwhelming from my point of view. They could really use someone who actually knows how to win championships - like me. And lastly is Stefan. They've kinda tailed off lately, but with good reason - they're probably throwing everything they got at next year's car. And this year's car is something special as well, I mean, Nakajima and Katayama are both third-rate drivers at best, and they were giving everyone headaches at the start of the year. Again, though, that's a team that needs title-winning experience, of which I have plenty."

"I've been in some discussions with all 3 teams, and I'm fairly confident that you'll see me back on the grid next year. After all, I don't think Formula 1 is totally full of idiots that would leave a prime talent like me just fall by the wayside, not when on the market."

2011 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix II - Race


-- Positives --
Romain Grosjean - has won a race for the first time in his F1 career and INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE for the second time in Singapore

Nathan McKane - held on for the lead as long as possible and still made a dent in Kubica's title chances.

Shinobu Katayama - did very well compared to yesterday's race.

Nicolás Fontana - good job by the Argentinian to fight off Nico Rosberg for the final points.

Nico Rosberg - it's hardly his fault he had to pit to fix a brake issue, he did great to fight back.

-- Negatives --
Red Bull-Honda - their lack of tangible qualifying results really hurts their chances on a street track.

Lewis Hamilton - dropping out of the points is bad enough, but successfully fighting back to the points and then throwing it away again is just stupid.

Max Chilton - amateurish mistake left him stranded after the second-lap mess and he never catched up to the field.

Sergio Pérez - three awful races in a row are not helping his chances, no matter how awesome his performance in Uruguay was.

Alexandre Voeckler - if you have the best start of the year and crash it away on lap two, you can and will get REJECT OF THE RACE.
