That is correct.

Please also note the slight edits to the additional grip regarding unused upgrades and the note on Formula E regarding superlicense requirements.

Furthermore, I want to draw attention to this rule, as I have seen multiple violations of it:
Teams may only offer a financial bonus to a driver for WDC and/or WCC Position

Following teams are in need of posting their driver bids as soon as humanly possible:

FAST
Holden
Red Bull


Furthermore, I would like to remind you that, if you have not done your upgrade plans before the first race, you will not apply any upgrades throughout the year.

From Red Bull, I will also need an engine supplier before the deadline, else Dexter will take over the team.

Alpha to Delta are the levels of upgrades, the higher the more powerful and more expensive the ugprade is. The precise numbers and prices are in the table in the first post, if you scroll down a bit. In case you still have questions, feel free to ask more. :)

Ah, thanks.

Can I get a clarification on what I'm reading here?

Does this mean I now have to look for a new driver for my Formula E team? If so, that's a pretty piss poor way of running things. If I hadn't been reading this thread, which I'm in no way involved by the way, how was I to be informed per chance?

It means you will need a replacement for the - I think it is two - Formula E rounds which collide with the F1 schedule.
Miguel and I came to such an agreement, because for now drivers are likely to prefer F1.

I asked Miguel multiple times to inform Formula E team owners in advance of that agreement, but given your reaction, he musst habe failed to do so. I am terribly sorry. :(

I did inform people in the topic before driver signings. And I'm fairly certain I mentioned it again.

There's way too many FE clashes that can be avoided, but haven't been for whatever reason. Anderstorp, Bucharest and Paris can be moved around, for example.

When did we pick Formula E drivers? Two months ago? More?

Sorry for not being able to predict the future. Normally when a driver signs a contract for a team, they tend to honour it. But that's cool, it's my fault, should have known. Wouldn't want anyone to have fun with all this would we! :pantano:

TWo things:

FIrst of, I posted my calendar first than Klon. So, it is not my fault of course there were clashes (while I did put the clashes for the first two races on purpose, to make life for managers harder and to bring into the effect of real life changes that also happen in FE). I did warn people that, despite FE beeing a thing, that F1 or IndyCar could take priority of course for a driver. I discussed this with KLon, and clearly warned people about it in the topic.

I will, when I have got through this incredible busy time for me in college, finish FE fast in a hurry, and before that, I'll check clashes and change dates if required. SOrry for the problems.

All Driver RNGs have been undertaken. Once the carset is done, the season can begin. That will probably happen in the first week of January. See you then.

You can edit your upgrade plan to fit your new plans until then.

Re: Alternate F1 - The Current Era - 2019 Season

Post by TomWazzleshaw »

RejectSport wrote:2019 FIA Formula One World Championship Preview - Part 1

2018 was a set of contradictions between old and new. A new generation of engines was released, but the old competitive order remained. Caterham looked the weakest they had been in years, but still won both titles. To emphasise that fact, only six of the 38 races run last year were won by teams other than Caterham or Precision Motorsport, and between them also claimed 36 of 38 pole positions and 33 of 38 fastest laps.

All that looks set to change in 2019 however. The rules package remains largely similar, which has allowed the chasing pack to close on the leading teams, and several big-name drivers have changed homes and allegiances, all with a point to prove. With that, RejectSport are proud to present our 2019 Formula One season team-by-team preview.

AT&T Caterham F1 Team - Judd

2018 WCC Position: 1st (704 pts)
2019 Drivers: 1. Sebastian Vettel, 2. Lewis Hamilton

They may have won last year’s constructors title by over 100 points and claimed 23 race victories, but the statistics betray just how closely-fought last year’s championship battle was. Caterham had to fight hard to resist the challenge from rivals Precision, and with the pressure came many operational and tactical errors. In the end, the defending champions held on, and look to make amends for 2019.

Many of the ingredients from 2018 are still there, but one key change has taken place which could threaten to derail the ship. Long-time designer Mike Gascoyne has left the team, and in his place, the team has hired Loïc Bigois. The Frenchman has already got his work cut out for him, with reports that several major design flaws in the team’s innovative suspension system have been exposed, which means he’ll need to hit the ground running.

Finally, the team has retained both Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton on the driving front. While the pair still currently co-exist and are the class of the field, both made several critical errors in 2018 when the team came under increased pressure from Precision. Both are championship-winning drivers, and will need to recapture that form to continue the fight up at the sharp end of the field

2019 WCC Prediction: 3rd

TRILUX AMG Precision Motorsport - Mercedes
2018 WCC Position: 2nd (599 pts)
2019 Drivers: 62. Jules Bianchi, 63. Diego Alvarez Torrente

Many expected American Dave Cassidy to lead the fight for Precision in 2018. Instead, we got Jules Bianchi in career-best form coming heartbreakingly close to pulling off the upset victory over Sebastian Vettel, and Cassidy going to war with team owner Jeroen Krautmeir. Eventually, Cassidy was given the boot, and after being courted by several AutoReject World Series teams, found a new home at Ferrari.

In his place, the team signed ARWS refugee Diego Alvarez Torrente, who had spent the last two years plying his craft for Jones Racing. While he may not have the same ultimate pace as some of his contemporaries, Jeroen has praised him for his metronomic consistency and remarkable maturity for someone his age, making him a perfect fit for the #63. Coupled with the in-form Bianchi, it’d be little surprise if these two serve to push each other to new heights.

Unlike Caterham, the team hasn’t been rocked by designer changes, and Nicholas Tombazis, who was recruited by the team midway through 2015, has designed another solid car to complement the reliable and economical Mercedes engine. An intensive development program has already been announced for the car with updates planned for Bahrain, as Jeroen and his team aim to make 2019 the year they finally take home the titles.

2019 WCC Prediction: 1st

British Airways Sauber F1 Team - Judd
2018 WCC Position: 4th (195 pts)
2019 Drivers: 29. Pastor Maldonado, 30. Dean Stoneman

The perennial Swiss privateers had a relatively successful year, finishing in the same position where they were last year, largely thanks to the efforts of team leader Pastor Maldonado. Their second car was a cause for concern all year however, with no less than three different drivers being run in the #30 over the course of the year. In the end, it made the difference between challenging DGNineering up front, and merely holding off the likes of Ferrari and Haas behind.

Joining incumbent Maldonado this year is Englishman Dean Stonemen, who, after three years of being jerked around by Calinetic and several other supersub performances, has a point to prove in his first full-time gig. He’ll have his work cut out for him however, as he’s been pitted against one of the out-and-out fastest drivers in the world, in a team that has struggled to have two competitive cars week-in, week-out.

Those concerns have been allayed however, at least initially. The new Sauber has already run several private tests, and is rumoured to be setting new lap records at several places, indicating they have had the jump on the competition. Little-known American designer Brandon Crane has spent several years working with the AutoReject Commission on their spec AR2.0 and AR3.5 cars, but this is his first real test, and so far he is passing with flying colours. If Sauber maintain their supposed early advantage, there’s every chance that Crane will have a long design career ahead of him.

2019 WCC Prediction: 2nd

Scuderia Ferrari Vodafone
2018 WCC Position: 5th (187 pts)
2019 Drivers: 27. Dave Cassidy, 28. Daniel Melrose

The Prancing Horse has always been one big dysfunctional family, and 2018 was no exception. After a mid-season managerial change, the underperforming Marcel Ageymang-Badu found himself evicted in short order, and by the end of the season, Nathan McKane was forced to follow suit, finding himself relegated to third driver. In their place, Ferrari went all-out securing two big names, in the form of Precision refugee Dave Cassidy and Australian legend Daniel Melrose.

While the lineup on paper is capable of delivering the goods, whether they’ll be able to is another story. The hallmark instability remains, as there’s rumours that Melrose has already gotten into a pay dispute with the team, McKane unhappy about being usurped by the man who walked away from his end of an McKane-MRT ARWS deal from several years ago, and Cassidy less than impressed by not getting preferential treatment at the team.

To compound the man-management headaches, new designer Aldo Costa has reportedly delivered a dog of a car for the team’s stars to play with. While everything seems to be functioning at the moment, if the car is as slow as insiders report it is, it could be the final trigger that sets off a cataclysmic explosion at Maranello.

WCC Prediction
: 5th

H&M Haas F1 Team – Judd

2018 WCC Position: 6th (156 pts)
2019 Drivers: 21. Stoffel Vandoorne, 22. Jordan Davies

Stoffel Vandoorne is clearly one of the most talented drivers in the field at the present moment, and he showed it last year by finishing a career-best 8th in the championship standings, despite the deficiencies of the Haas cars relative to his competitors. It’s little wonder that Gene Haas was keen to retain the young star long-term. More importantly, he systematically dismantled any credibility teammate Johnny Cecotto Jr had as a Grand Prix driver, forcing the team to find a replacement for 2019 who would have a hope of emulating the Belgian.

To that end, they went with Jordan Davies, who after several seasons floating around the upper-midfield of the junior categories, finally broke through into the big leagues. It was a left-field signing, as many expected fellow British driver Ollie Rowland to be given the nod, but in the end the team entrusted Davies to drive the number 22. Either way, the young Brit will have his work cut out for him as he’s pitted up against one of the hottest talents in the world.

All of that could be moot however, as behind the scenes has been panic stations for the team. Having lost lead designer Dries Longin to the Gillet ARWS program, they have been forced to rely on his deputy Wiet Huidekoper to develop their 2019 car, which was only unveiled in late February. This was largely due to major calibration issues with their wind tunnel, which threaten to leave the team even further behind the 8-ball heading into the season as development ramps up.

2019 WCC Prediction: 7th

Team Calinetic Zepter – Holden
2018 WCC Position: 7th (152 pts)
2019 Drivers: 90. Daniel Ricciardo, 91. Max Verstappen

The team’s wheeling and dealing over the past few years was bound to catch up with them sooner or later, and it may finally have this year. Despite securing their best-ever results in 2018, it came at the expense of starting their 2019 development cycle extremely late, and managing to tick off both their drivers and many members of the paddock along the way.

2015 World Champion Daniel Ricciardo has excelled in mediocre equipment in recent years, but several big teams are circling around smelling blood in the water. While he stays put for the time being, it’s only a matter of time before he snaps up one of the many offers on the table. Meanwhile, teammate Max Verstappen has become increasingly frustrated with his team. Having already cited multiple breaches of contract, it’s widely expected that he won’t be making the trip to the first weekend of the season, leaving Calinetic to potentially scramble to find a replacement before the season starts.

To compound matters, budgetary constraints have left their 2019 car woefully underdeveloped. While they have solved some of the issues they had in finding an optimal setup window, the tradeoff has come in the form of pace, with word that high-speed cornering in particular has taken a big hit. If the rumours all prove to be true, it could be a long 2019 for the squad.

2019 WCC Prediction: 11th

Shougang Williams F1 Team – Mercedes
2018 WCC Position: 8th (100 pts)
2019 Drivers: 5. Marvin Kirchhofer, 6. Santiago Urrutia

The Williams team have fallen a long way since the heady world champion-winning days of 2016. Chronic mismanagement of the team has lead to a dramatic falling out between the Williams family and Patrick Head, with the latter leaving near the end of 2018. This served to further demoralise the team, as they slumped to a lowly 8th out of 13 teams by the end of season standings. In his place came Prodrive, which has begun a massive rebuilding process for the team.

Having ditched Finn Valterri Bottas, the team has gone with a full youth policy, signing reigning Formula 2 champion Marvin Krichhofer to spearhead the team. Alongside him will be Uruguayan hope Santiago Urrutia, who has come off winning the 2018 Indy Lights title after three seasons of trying, and is one of South America’s hottest young talents.

While both drivers have bucketloads of pace, they will have their work cut out leading the team forward. Losing Loïc Bigois to Caterham was a huge blow for the Grove squad, and while replacement Peter Prodromou is highly competent in his own right, he’ll have his work cut out for him. The revolutionary FW41 is reported to have a bucketload of potential, but thus far hasn’t been able to translate it into meaningful testing results. If Prodromou and his men and women can’t turn it around soon, the trough for the team could get lower still.

Re: Alternate F1 - The Current Era - 2019 Season

Post by TomWazzleshaw »

2019 FIA Formula One World Championship Preview – Part 2

Castrol Holden Racing Team
2018 WCC Position: 9th (86 pts)
2019 Drivers: 31. Romain Grosjean, 32. Alexander Albon

Many expected the Holden Racing Team to be far more competitive than they were in 2018, with their all-star lineup of Rhys Davies and Daniel Melrose. However, apart from occasional show-stealing performances, they were relegated to also-ran status for much of 2018 due to severe downforce deficiencies in the car. By the end of the year, it was clear that change was needed, and that was indeed what happened. The Ferrari-bound Melrose was first to go, followed soon by the retiring Davies and designer Nick Chester.

In their place on the driver front comes hungry Frenchman Romain Grosjean to lead the team, fresh off supersub stints at Precision and Ferrari. The veteran will be joined by rookie Alexander Albon, part of the large debutant class of 2019. The young Thai driver has been a mainstay of GP3 and GP2 in recent seasons, culminating in a runner-up spot to Sergey Sirotkin in last year’s GP2 championship.

The aforementioned Chester has been replaced by Irishman George West, but he’s come too late in the off-season to have a major effect on the 2019 car. As a result, while this year’s car is an improvement on 2018, many expect it will have the same deficiencies as the previous car had. Therefore, both Grosjean and Albon will have their work cut out trying to better the team’s results of 2018.

2019 WCC Prediction: 8th

Aeroflot BR Mansell Engineering – Mercedes
2018 WCC Position: 11th (23 pts)
2019 Drivers: 55. Artem Markelov, 56. Sergey Sirotkin

The Russian Revolution is well and truly here for Mansell Engineering. Artem Markelov was a revelation in 2018, repeatedly putting the car in places it had no right to be in, and regularly putting big name drivers and teams to shame in the process. Even his heroics weren’t enough to save the team however, as they struggled to get enough funds to even finish the season.

Enter Boris Rotenberg. The German-born Russian bought a controlling interest in the team at the 11th hour, and used his connections to secure the services of GP2 champion Sergey Sirotkin, along with significant backing from Aeroflot. With Markelov also returning for a sophomore season, the Russian duo have the potential to be one of the most dynamic and exciting pairings in the field.

Given the budget restraints, the fact the team has managed to still design and build a reasonably competitive car is an achievement in itself. Designed by Paolo Cantone, who joined the team as part of the Rotenberg takeover, the car is essentially a heavily revised 2018 car, which had, and still does, have a lot of room for potential. With a proper development program now possible, there’s every possibility that the team will turn heads and surprise bigger squads this year.

2019 WCC Prediction: 10th

Red Bull Racing – Ferrari
2018 WCC Position: 12th (18 pts)
2019 Drivers: 66. Pascal Wehrlein, 67. Mike Rockenfeller

The post-Horner era of Red Bull Racing has not been pretty, and 2018 was no exception. Instability and incompetence has been the modus operendi of the team, which slumped to a lowly 12th place finish in 2018, largely thanks to the miracles performed by Pierre Gasly, who was promptly rewarded by being sacked halfway through the year. A new management team has been brought in for 2019 however, and while it promised big things, it’s already started to deliver much of the same as before.

The team promoted test driver Pascal Wehrlein to lead the team in 2019, and the two-time DTM champion clearly has the talent to be a big star in F1. However, alongside him to replace the underperforming Josef Newgarden and Esteban Ocon, the team made the frankly strange signing of fellow DTM star Mike Rockenfeller. In a year where many other rookies and young guns have been given the nod, the signing of the 36 year old Sauber refugee was a sure sign to critics that it was business as usual for the team.

With rumours that this could be the last year before Red Bull withdraws their support, the car has been designed on a shoestring budget. Having been originally designed around a Mercedes engine, they had since been forced to shoehorn a Ferrari powerplant into the car after the German manufacturer refused to deal with them. As a result, RB14 threatens to be both slow and unreliable, and potentially being a whimper of a curtain closer of the once championship-contending team.

2019 WCC Prediction: 13th

TABAC Fernando Alonso Speed Team - Mercedes
2018 WCC Results: New Team
2019 Drivers: 23. Pierre Gasly, 24. Kevin Magnussen

After many years of trying and failing, Fernando Alonso has given up on his driving career and moved into team ownership. The Spaniard, who many call the greatest driver never to win a title, established his team using old Campos Racing facilities, and quickly got into partnership with Mercedes Benz. Signing Jackie Eeckelaert as chief designer from Mazda’s LMP program, the team has built a car that is nimble, reliable and, most importantly, quick.

Spearheading the team will be two young guns in Pierre Gasly and Kevin Magnussen, both of whom come off strong 2018 seasons. Gasly was unfairly replaced mid-season by Marcel Ageymang-Badu and is hungry to prove the doubters wrong. Kevin Magnussen meanwhile was one half of the dynamic duo at the rebounding DGNgineering team in 2018, taking two wins for the team early on in the season. Both of them are hungry for more success, and have the ability to make waves for FAST with the right support and equipment.

2019 WCC Prediction: 6th

Prince Theodore Racing Team - Judd
2018 WCC Results: New Team
2019 Drivers: 33. Einar Ármannsson, 34. Valtteri Bottas

Teddy Yip Jr finally gets to emulate his father, having made it do the dance after buying a controlling stake in the DGNgineering team. In partnership with Status Grand Prix, the team looks set to build where it left off, scoring the prize signing of famed designer Adrian Newey, who has spent the past several seasons on the ARWS rules committee as the technical delegate. As a result, the team has designed a car which is the envy of many up and down the paddock.

The driver front does pose some question marks however. Icelandic race winner Einar Armannsson has been signed to lead the team, but has been rather lacking in race experience of the past few years. Alongside him is Valtteri Bottas, who has proven to be fast but highly inconsistent. While some argue that it is a step down from DGN’s previous lineup of Magnussen and ARWS-bound Salvatore Miccoli, the pair still have the talent and the drive to take Theodore to the front.

2019 WCC Prediction: 4th

Ebro Foods Dawson GP – Holden
2018 WCC Results: New Team
2019 Drivers: 118. Carlos Sainz Jr, 119. Felix Rosenqvist

The thirteenth and final entry slot for 2019 went to a mysterious privateer team. Little is known about Dawson Grand Prix, except it is bankrolled by aristocrat Jack Dawson, and there are some connections to the Racing Steps Foundation. Regardless, the team has been able to build a no-nonsense car that can pull off an upset or two in the right hands, and have coupled it with the solid, if unspectacular Holden powerplant.

In the drivers’ seats, the team has hired Spaniard rookie Carlos Sainz Jr, a former LMP race winner, and Felix Rosenqvist, the runner up of last year’s Formula 2 championship. While both have been relatively late moving up through the ranks to get to F1 compared to their contemporaries, both come with a wealth of experience in other categories that few other rookies have, and will be more than eager to lead Dawson through their first season in the sport.

WCC Prediction: 12th

Dealing with a lot of stuff here, so let's go through it.

www.f1rumours.net wrote:Ferrari Announce Huge Engine Project

In a very shocking announcement, Scuderia Ferrari have announced that the new Formula One engine for the 2020 season will be a hydrogen-powered unit, ending Ferrari's run of V10 engines ever since the engine split was introduced in 2014. The move was inspired by the Ferrari Eternita, a concept study to be realised in 2021

According to sources within the company, a hydrogen-powered lineup of supercars is planned for the 2020s and 2030s. To promote this developement, Ferrari will want to use the Scuderia.

Knowing that the team has a lot of ground to make up if they want to match Toyota's performance and ensure their new hydrogen engine, which name's to be announced by the end of the year, the Italian squad has hired many engineers involved in Toyota's project.


www.f1rumours.net wrote:Toyota to Enter Team After All?

Despite Toyota announcing their Formula One engine project in the role of solely a supplier, apparentely voices within the company have mentioned a desire to actually run a works effort. It seems like those voices are growing within company leadership, becoming a majority.

It is not like Toyota would be short of options: Toyota Motorsport GmbH's buildings are not used for any major projects. Other options would be financially aiding a Super GT team as they build a Formula One entry for the upcoming season.

Whilst one can argue about whether starting such a project with a little less than a year run-up is too late, it is pretty clear that acquiring an actual entry would not be a challenge: Christian Horner is known to be willing to aid manufacturer efforts bypass formalities.


www.f1rumours.net wrote:One-Race Formula One Returns!

In a session earlier today, the FIA agreed on a number of rule changes for the 2020 season. The most important rule change is a return to a one-race format for the 2020 season. The currently active two-race concept will be replaced with a single race of 115 miles.

This value was chosen in reference to the distance completed in the last F1 version of the BRDC International Trophy. It is around 20 km longer than the current races, which means that the sprint nature of current Formula Onen remains unchanged.

Other rule changes agreed on are the removal of forced pitstops, allowing teams to freely chose their strategies again. Furthermore, a long-requested safety measure will finally be introduced, as a so-called Virtual Safety Car will be used to neutralise the race without disturbing the race order.
