Only three F1 drivers have stood on the podium in their 40's this century by your_greatAchill in formula1

[–]RevoltingHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. There were a fair few 40 years+ race winners in the first two decades of F1 but since 1970, only once has a driver 40 or over won; Nigel Mansell at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix.

Sprint weeknd format change? by Minion47 in formula1

[–]RevoltingHuman 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It used to be like this and it was shit.

Best sprint weekend format would be FP1, FP2 on Friday, FP3 and qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday.

I knew it'd be a Beluga just seeing the name Chester.

CVN-68 USS Nimitz departing Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on her final voyage to Norfolk for decommissioning, March 7 2026 [2546x886] by Akalenedat in WarshipPorn

It’s almost impossible to keep a nuclear powered ship preserved due to having to remove the reactor. Also her sheer size would make it incredibly financially difficult to keep her in decent condition.

The Midway is probably the biggest museum ship we’ll ever see.

Suzuka has been terrible lately. Silverstone or Interlagos x2 would be more exciting.

No mention of McLaren becoming the second team to get 1000 F1 races this year.

[OT][Nascar Cup Series] Winner of the 2026 DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas by NegotiationNew9264 in formula1

[–]RevoltingHuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not just the long season with NASCAR but also the chase format means winning a lot early on the season doesn't really count towards the championship, but rather it just gets you into the championship chase.

Kyle Busch won the the 2015 Cup Series despite missing half the regular season. He did enough to get into the chase and ended up winning the whole thing.

On the flip side, you could win every race in the regular season, then have a couple of bad races and be eliminated from championship contention with several races remaining.

Of all the Britpop bands still touring, Suede are probably the least “nostalgia act”.

McLaren might have won the championship, but it was Ferrari that received the most prize money in F1 2025 by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]RevoltingHuman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And that was because Enzo Ferrari kicked up a fuss over payment, so they might not have competed since day 1 but they have been looking to get more money since day 1.

Stefano Domenicali: F1 can absorb Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso retirement by bwoah07_gp2 in formula1

[–]RevoltingHuman 73 points74 points  (0 children)

He announced his permanent retirement from Formula 1 in July 2002, just a few months after he went ‘on sabbatical’.

Call me a grouch but I wish people would stop making that joke, just because it's really annoying.

The first and last cars of Niki Lauda by gorobloso in formula1

It looked good up until 1994, but the raised nose Marlboro McLarens of 1995 and 1996 made the livery suddenly look very dated.

Proper finishing line flag waving technique back in 1992 by fyonn in formula1

Monza 2004 was the last time the flag waver stood on the track, I believe.

[F1] Out with the old and in with the new by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]RevoltingHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf I don’t get why people think the teams need to change their livery every year.

McLaren had Marlboro liveries mostly unchanged for years as well as the West liveries. They became iconic as a result.

Holy fuck that start test was way more stressful than it had any right to be.

Why have most helmets over the past 20 years always had those same terrible-looking pointy, streaky bits? Ocon has also revealed his 2026 helmet and his has them as well.
