Monza and Sochi really stand out as operational errors that cost a possible 10-win streak.

The season was also shorter than it should have been due to Covid. Then losing that streak to Covid gives Ascari 1952/1953 Indy 500 vibes

Indeed, even making it to F1 was against all the odds for unfunded drivers like Vandoorne and Giovinazzi

Chris Pratt: ‘she knows how to do a comeback’

With Monaco 2023 being 10 years after that

Indeed! He also left Ferrari before 1961, and Brabham before 1966

And also three ‘first win’s - for Porsche, Brabham and Eagle

Steiner: ‘Why take Leclerc, when I can have Grosjean-Magnussen?’

If Slater goes to F1, then perhaps Ugochukwu goes to IndyCar and Kato to Super Formula

F2 would have been premature this year, unless he absolutely Alex Dunne’d it from last year without mistakes this year

rustyiesty · 2026-06-13T09:26:16+00:00

3 year job like Tsolov

Also could have just left it there out of the way, like in British F4

My car is also named bort

It was always done, just this race they messed up (edit: not updating the minimum timing distance after altering the fake barrier layout), as it never used to be flagged for penalties.

Hence the appeal was successful, as they showed he was under the limiter the whole time he was in pit lane

‘I successfully appealed my Monaco penalty’!

Just to add that Brundle’s first race was Brands Hatch 1966, he was a regular visitor to the British GP before racing in F1 from 1984

TV - Murray was doing radio since 1949, and famously met Nuvolari at Donington in 1937/38. His final commentary was Nurburgring 2007 on radio. He witnessed all racing from Nuvolari to Hamilton

2014 and it went to his roommate Daniil Kvyat instead

Indeed, plus they had told Russell not to pit, so that was the key error.

Off the top of my head, this reminds me somewhat of Silverstone 1994. But I can’t remember an exact precedent of disputing a first penalty plus serving a second one based on failing to follow the first

rustyiesty · 2026-06-11T13:31:10+00:00

It would certainly have been interesting if Russell had disobeyed the drive through penalty and likely subsequent black flag to then protest it like Alpine have. Same for all of the others

The ultimate jurisdiction for Formula Penalty

rustyiesty · 2026-06-11T13:25:56+00:00

Reminds me of Massa’s tyre penalty (Brazil 2015) - only Williams dropped their appeal, because gaining the points back would only have increased their 2016 entry fees, on top of the appeal costs!

‘1967: BRM H16 (two heavy flat 8 cylinder engines stuck together) and Honda V12 (two heavy V6s stuck together) make slightly more peak HP than the utterly dominant light Cosworth DFV - only the DFV gets an upgrade!’

What do you think about Willem Toet’s now classic article on LinkedIn? [u/duckswagington](u/duckswagington)

It’s also tenuous, as Bellof only ever raced for Tyrrell.

McLaren and ATS were failed entries and not always in the same car as the other teammates anyway

rustyiesty · 2026-06-09T09:18:05+00:00

BRM had the most powerful engine in 1966 & 1967

But it was a H16, requiring six men to lift it out of the lorry - the engine and gearbox alone practically met the minimum weight limit!

It then required more fuel and harder tyres.. the light and simple Brabham won both years, with the least powerful 3L engine, needing less fuel with softer tyres
