Bit of Day 1 plotting. Slow day due to real life.
Today's post should be more timely.

And the off-season look at Senna v Prost reaches 1985. Black and Gold Lotus, Prost destroying the field, and much more.

Their paths are converging but not yet completely entangled.

It is coming.

2nd part of the Prost-Senna off-season story time. This time, 1984 gets the entire post because the first season with both drivers in F1 had a lot going for it.

And the glut of drivers in the plots always makes me happy. So many names that became (in)famous.

First part of an off-season offering.

Senna-Prost, Prost-Senna, SPernonsat, PSreonsnta, however you want to make it.

Long read, obviously, and it is only Part 1.

Well, since I have a few paying subscribers to please, here is the first premium content of F1 IQ, even before the official start.

A three-part look at the story of Juan Manuel Fangio.

From the humble start in Argentina to the summit of motorsports, the Maestro's life story is a pilgrimage through the early days of F1 and the incredible courage, strength, and lack of fear needed to be a racing car driver in that era.

Why not have the entire #F1 schedule be a bunch of stupid Tilkedromes while the European races diminish until there are 3 slots left for all of them to rotate over? The fans will surely love that the sport is getting richer and richer.
Yep, that is what will happen, obviously.

I am deeply thankful that Liberty brought F1 into the 21st Century, but their "money is all that matters" attitude towards where to race might be worse than CVC's.

That Alpine jump...

Yeah, Haas, TR, Williams, good work across the board in the F1 season, but au revoir.

Alpine vaults them all thanks to Ocon and Gasly and the team behind them executing beautifully in a tough race.

Aston flat lining for 4 GPs now.
