#F1 history

[dizzyduck44]

One our finest moments as a McLaren fan.

This ladies and gentleman is why McLaren fans have acted like it’s Christmas Day every time we have qualified on the front row or got a podium in recent years! This is where we came from. When we failed, we failed epically.

For the record they finished 13th and 14th of 16 finishers, a lap down!!!

F1 Driver's Championship winners who switched teams right after they won it

This post was inspired by a question asked by @vro0m the other day. Although they were asking about drivers who left WCC winning teams, i thought drivers champions who ditched their teams would be interesting as well.

Juan Manuel Fangio, 1956->57; Ferrari->Maserati. (was known to drive for a different team after each of his championship wins up yo this point, but its important to note those times had to do with his teams leaving the sport. The only time it was his decision was 1956->57)

Alberto Ascari, 1953->1954; Ferrari->Lancia (Not paid enough, perhaps on the grounds that he was risking his life)

Denny Hulme, 1967->68; Brabham->McLaren (can't find a source on this one but he was extremely close to Bruce McLaren and had driven for him in other race series. To give an idea of why i think their closeness could have been a factor, he was considered a man of fewer words and emotions than Kimi Raikonen, but openly weeped at Bruces death in 1970 during a testing accident)

Jackie Stewart, 1969->70; Matra->Tyrell (this could be semantic. Matra International was a "privateer" team from 1968->69 which was actually a collab between Tyrell the man and the french company Matra. The name of Stewart's team changes from 69-70 because Tyrell the man prefered maintaining a working relationship with Ford whereas Matra was moving on to Chrysler. Wikipedia articles partially seem to think the Tyrell team is basically a continuation of the Matra International team the year prior since Tyrell the man was technically the team owner of each. Matra however enters a works team in 1970 that also ran one race in 1969 so its confusing. )

Jochen Rindt, Honorable mention; he died in the Italian GP practice in 1970. He had such a big lead he still won the championship in spite of his passing.

Nikki Lauda, 1977->78; Ferrari->Brabham (Nikki's huge accident that almost killed him in the 1976 season changed his outlook on racing in exceptionally poor weather conditions. As a result, he refused to race in the 1976 Japanese GP, and lost the championship to James Hunt in the process. Ferarri was pissed about this and it deteriorated his relationship with Ferrari severely for the 1977 season. After being treated so poorly (even in the driver lineup from his point of view) he decided to leave despite winning the championship. Its important to note however that he's believed to have won by consistency despite the car's outright slower pace, so he might have also had technical concerns)

Nelson Piquet, 1987->88; Williams->Lotus (in 86 and 87 Piquet was racing alongside Nigel Mansel in a WCC winning Williams. According to Piquet he had an agreement with team owner Frank Williams that he would be the number one driver for 86, an agreement he felt was neglected after Frank got in a car accident and left the team in the management of Mansel's race engineer. Specifically, he was upset that Mansel was not ordered to let him pass for the race win on two occasions that year, and had he been let through he would have been champion rather than Alain Prost. The relationship never recovered from that, but for some reason Piquet waited to leave. It is worth noting that he signed for Lotus before winning the 87 championship. Additionally Mansel finished first in more races than him that year but lost because of Piquet's podium consistency)

Alain Prost, 1989->1990; McLaren->Ferrari (ho boy. Long story partially short, Prost believed Honda (engine supplier) favored Senna, and therefore so did McLaren for the 1988-89 seasons, to the point of even giving Senna a better engine in the 1989 season. Supposedly for the 1988 season a Honda employee confirmed the suspicion while speaking to Prost in person, but promised he'd do his best to change that for 89. Prost did not believe this had occured, as he felt his car was underperforming Senna's in 89. His biggest piece of evidence was that while running a better straight-line-speed setup than Senna in Mexico, he still was not being able to pass Senna by engine power on the straight. For Honda's part, they had a major press event where they tried to explain technically why Senna's driving style suited the engine better, but the employee giving the interview kept referring to prost by his surname but not Senna, which is a sign of a stronger personal relationship in Japanese culture and was taken as a sign of bias)

Nigel Mansell, 1992->93; Williams->N/A (retired)

Michael Schumacher, 1995->96; Benneton->Ferrari (Schumacher's official statement is that he abandoned his contract with Benneton a year early due to "the teams damaging actions in 1994" to use wikipedias wording. The teams actions include: software shenanigans where the car was found to have the supposedly unused ability to correct bad manual starts, which would give the driver the ability to have perfect starts regardless of their affectiveness with the clutch; ignoring a black flag for a safety car overtake; and having a skidblock that was so worn down it suggested Benneton was ignoring aero regulations)

Damon Hill, 1996->97; Williams->Arrows (this one doesny count because it was outside of Hill's control, but it's really funny. Williams sacked him in favor of Heinz-Harald Frentzen, whom i have never heard of and apparently would only ever win 3 F1 races in his career. Hill chose Arrows not because they were the best team with an offer, but because they wanted to pay him the most. His career sucked after that)

Fernando Alonso, 2006->2007; Renault->McLaren (wikipedia straight up just doesnt explain this. A reddit thread gives a lot of uncited opinions as to why, but a significantly large number of their users cite that McLaren was seen as a consistently top team in this era while Renault was seen as volitale. With Alonso signing for 2007 as early as late 2005, heres some possible factors: Renault's bizzare lack of commitment to staying in the sport; McLaren winning more races in late 2005 than Renault; Renault's success was partially attributed to weird tire rules).

Jenson Button 2009->10; Brawn->McLaren (Brawn was bought out to become mercedes, but was left to its Brawn leadership to still run the team. Jenson won the championship because of dominance at the beginning that was cut short by not developing the car enough. He still won overall, but Jenson asked for a larger focus on in-season developement for the next year as a condition for staying. Ultimately, he was spoked off when he discovered mercedes didnt have enough sponsors for their plan yet)

Nico Rosberg, 2016->17; Mercedes->N/A (retired)

[blorbocedes]

Hiii! Tumblr or my searching skills failed me so im coming to u bc u most likely know about this and i need to know too 😳 what's the deal with nico rosberg and michael schumacher? I think i've read sth about them that triggered all my alarmas. Is there some lore we should know? Thank you 🥺 ♥️

hahhaa you've come to the right place!

uhh quick background, nico was stuck in a shitty Williams for 4 years (George Russell coded ☹️) and got the merc offer -- where the implication was he was going to lead the team, and his teammate would be jenson button 😚

Instead it was 7 time world champion Michael Schumacher, who had just passed his fitness checks post Ferrari crash and signed a 3 year deal with Merc. Mercedes were still in their flop era and were trying to push the German car with German drivers angle. The news sent Nico spiralling cause like, what's he gonna do -- not accept a long term merc deal? But also how's he supposed to compete with the GOAT? He called him "godlike" and was afraid he'd manipulate the Merc team completely against him

Schumacher, according to Nico, played a lot of mind games. Michael is famous for terrorising all 10 of his teammates and now he had a petite German twink. list of crimes include making Nico pee outside in a bucket right before quails, and being... really hot? showing his six pack and for some reason that intimidated nico (alpha pheromones 🤨📸)

The comeuppance here is that all 3 years Nico beat Michael 😅 Mercedes actually even made an ad about it (to show they're cool with it)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2uE67arNYhM

Michael's German twink to mentor of choice was Seb who he adored (here's them pranking nico) -- there was always this underlying notion that Nico wasn't "German enough" (being half Finnish, and spending his whole life in monaco) Nico came into Merc bright eyed and hopeful, instead was met with a Michael who didnt particularly care for him, or thought much of him.

Nico also said he preferred Mika lolol to Michael, and considering he grew up around and was adored by Mika (finn4halffinn) it's not hard to see why

https://twitter.com/nicorosberg/status/723864441599614977?s=21&t=MshFwe5f1zRIbqcb7dPmww (here's Nico in 2016 posting the iconic Mika passing Schumi in spa)

Most interestingly (to me), is this excerpt:

Clarkson: Did Michael live up to expectations?

Rosberg: [inhaling] Well, no. He didn’t.

It's the disillusionment for me!!! To see a god shatter in your face!!!

We also can't talk about Michael and Nico without the iconic dankeshen ad, which includes a Mika cameo as well 😭 the crack 2010's ads were on..... we need it back

https://p1tstop.tumblr.com/post/679117011370049536/compliments-by-the-2011-mercedes-benz-f1-team

However their dynamic was, you cannot say they did not serve and slay. peak sugar baby/daddy looks

I will say when Nico talks about Michael for the vast majority it is very complimentary and respectful, and he kept track of Mick's karting/feeder series career and rooted him on (probably could relate to being the son of a wc with a famous name)

learnt many things from Michael, such as Monaco 2014 🫢

[andromedasummer]

Hello, I just saw an ask you sent abnerkrill about f1. I'm very new to the sport (I'm on s4 of Drive to Survive and have just begun following the current season), and doing some research into f1 history for a project I'm working on. Do you have any resources on the history of f1? And do you know where I can find the Senna documentary? No pressure to respond, of course, and thanks for sharing your insight in that ask.

Hell yeah I can help! DTS is docudrama which means it will make a storyline outta nothing, so you've probably been given a very warped view of the sport. Which isn't to say it isn't good fun! Its just not helpful to understanding the sport.

I've been into motorsport coming up on 4 years now and I've read/watched a bunch on the history of F1 and motorsport. I'll list some of that stuff here:

MY RECOMMENDATIONS:

One: Life On The Limit (documentary)

Free on youtube. Interviews tons of drivers. Got me into the sport. I mean it when i say it interviews a ton of old drivers/important people from multiple eras and paints a real picture of the danger of the sport. Fair warning: it contains footage of fatal crashes and if you find that upsetting I totally understand and won't blame you for skipping it

Lauda (Documentary)

Eveyone should know about Niki. I say this half-ironically. Hes my fav driver so I'm biased but his impact on the sport cannot be overstated. His story, from his championship to his horror crash and full body burns to his next two championships and his fight for driver safety is incredible. He was half of the pair that organized the famous driver strike! Whole grid locked themselves in a bedroom instead of driving to protest the lack of safety!

Rush (Movie)

Again Niki Lauda related, however this is THE motorsport movie. It's very accurate to the battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda for the championship, along with their friendship. It's great and even non-motorsport enjoyers loved it.

Biographies/Auto-Biographies (Books)

Tons drivers have tons, some have multiple (like Senna or Schumacher) and you can get the more well known ones from the more well known drivers off Z-Lib or annasarchive pretty easy (use a vpn and go to r/piracy and navigate to their masterpost of piracy links. if you dont have a vpn dw they list a really solid free one) you should also be able to find a host for the senna doco through there. I would recommend reading about figures like Prost, Schumacher, Lauda, Hamilton obvs but also non-drivers in the sport like Ross Brawn and Sid Watkins.

Life on The Limit (Books)

Two books by Sid Watkins (doctor who made f1 safe) that were released in tandem with the doco I mentioned and go into great detail about his friendship with past drivers. Really funny at multiple points and then absolutely heartbreaking when it comes to the things he saw and lost during those days. Highly recommend.

My friend Laura who has been watching since infancy also recommends:

- "In general for freebie resources, overtakefans as a site has a Ton of resources and history archived"

- "and if you search for 'F1 season reviews YouTube' you will usually find the short season round ups they used to do that provide you with some basic history and that can be really good if you want to know more about certain eras but don't know where to start."

Silver War (documentary)

It's abt nico and lewis and their lifelong friendship into bitter toxic rivalry into. whatever the fuck it is now. is on youtube, (I personally haven't seen it.)

Grand Prix: The Killer Years (Book)

About the deadly years of F1, I believe. (I haven't read it.)

Enzo Ferrari: The Man and The Machine (Book)

from Laura: "even though it starts WAY WAY WAY before f1 and is probably too heavy for a newbie to handle it is a VERY detailed look at not just Ferrari but early Motorsport in Europe and how that eventually led to the creation of F1 and why Ferrari has always been a presence in it"

The book also touches briefly on fascism in the sport which I will be talking abt under the readmore because I do feel it's an important disclaimer.

So, I put this under a readmore cos it's a bit long. But the one last thing I wanna say is that I think it is important when looking at F1 both in the current day and it's history to discuss the grim realities about why Motorsport is so elitist, and how that has been ingrained since it's founding.

A big thing to know about F1 history is that is was founded by the wealthy, juuust pre (late 1920s) and then post WW2 (paused during the war). It was the wealthy of this era who could afford to buy and race motorcars. From there, it was only those wealthy who could fund and form those teams. It was a rich mans hobby. And unfortunately, more often than not, those very rich men had fascist ideals (which were very, very popular in England and Italy and Europe in general and up until WW2 which made it a more distasteful ideal, although enough people certainly persisted with these beliefs more quietly).

Nazis raced in it. Nazi sympathizers raced in it. Ferrari had to work for Mussolini and Mercedes had to work under Hitler making weapons during the war, some members of these companies more willingly than others. Hell, one of F1s most famous circuits it raced on is the Nurburgring. A massive stretch of track that was made on the orders of Hitler, next to a small town where the small Jewish population had been purged. It was built to show off German Engineering and with the hopes to show off to the rest of the West (they lost against the English in the inaugural race and threw a fucking fit abt it loser fucking nazis).

These echoes of facism and elitism do still exist in european motorsport to this day and, like fascist ideals, have expanded into other continents. I don't think I could name a Brazilian driver who doesn't support Jair Bolsonaro. The Piquets are personal friends with him, Nelson (4 time world champ, prolific racist) drives him around for political rallies. Emmerson Fittipaldi (another old champion, Brazilian) ran as an MP for the Italian fascist party. Bernie Ecclestone (owned the rights to f1 for a WHILE) believes in fucking insane conspiracy theories about Jewish people and described Putin, who he is friends with, as a "good man" on national television when questioned abt the invasion of Ukraine. Max Mosely, who was head of the FIA until the late 2000s, was a youth fascist who handed out handwritten leaflets on "racial inferiority". His parents wedding was attended by Hitler himself. He was the nephew of Oswald Mosely, who was done for treason during the war for his loyalty to the Nazis and belief in Nazism. Max was still in charge when Lewis, the sports first black driver (one of two ever now, out of 70+ years of history), came into the sport. And that's not even going into the morality of some of F1s sponsors (Armco, etc) and the places they race (too long to list)

This is uncomfortable, yes, but it's not often talked about when recounting F1's history. Certainly not in documentaries or books. The creators of which who, frankly, dont even know how to touch on the subject or think it's fine to skip over. But it is a reality of the sport and it does intertwine in an irremovable way with its history, especially when you look at the people who both competed and still do compete. When you look at its current day classism, its racial inequality, sexism, homophobia, ableism etc.

Just because its easier to hide these days through weak statements, a stance of individualism on drivers political views and co-opting of activist language without actual moves towards change, certainly does not mean it isn't there. And while things have absolutely improved in terms of diversity and will hopefully continue to improve with the presence of people like Lewis Hamilton and Susie Wolff, F1 and European motorsport is and was unfortunately, founded in an era of fascism and elitism and it will be a while until those parts of the sport can be removed from its structure.

I know there aren’t many of us on this hellsite who can actually remember Imola 1994 firsthand. If anyone gets triggered please scroll on, I won’t be offended.

You see for years my memory of that weekend has been foggy, blurred by years of documentaries and footage I didn’t see at the time, clouding the few clear memories I had of it, to the point it no longer made sense. I’d always put it down to being young. Yet I could tell you clear as day who replaced Senna at Williams and the number of their car (David Coulthard and 0, because Senna’s car had been number 1 and it seemed disrespectful).

However somehow an 8 minute documentary jogged the true memory to the surface and explains why some parts are so clear and others like frosted glass.

Back in 1994 they didn’t televise practice sessions and I admit it was maybe 15 years later before I even knew Barrichello’s had had a crash on the Friday, which to this day I still can’t understand how that was the none fatal crash.

I remember watching qualifying, I remember seeing Ratzenberger crash, although all we saw was the car spinning to a stop. I remember looking at his head slumped to the side and no movement and somehow just knowing. It’s only now I realise that I still to this day always look to see a drivers head move after a big crash.

I don’t remember anything else from the Saturday other than being insistent in all my childish sensibilities that the race shouldn’t go ahead on Sunday.

I remember when I found out the race was going ahead I didn’t want to watch it. I can’t remember what I did, but I remember changing my mind after the start and walking into the living room and Dad saying “now Senna’s hit the wall”. I remember sitting down and watching the ambulances and medics from a distance on the coverage as Murray Walker tried to keep the broadcast going (we now know he knew already what had happened simply down to the behaviour of Dr Sid Watkins).

I remember being incredulous that they were going to restated the race. Young as I was I knew it was wrong, now I would say disrespectful, naive and gave no consideration to the drivers and teams and what they had been through that weekend. Watching the restart, when there was another crash and cars were spinning everywhere I walked away and I think at the point my memory edited itself as self preservation, hence why it’s never been clear since.

I found out later on the news that Senna had also died. Years later, that members of the crowd had been hurt from flying debris on the restart and mechanics had been hurt in the pits during the race.

What still makes me sick to my stomach 29 years later, is that as a child I knew on Saturday what the FIA and F1 should do. Abandon the race weekend. Yet every accident just resulted in them carrying on. Everything after Barrichello’s crash on Friday seems avoidable.

Sadly I had no such premonition of Suzuka 2014 and was sat watching live, though thankfully what was televised was a car going off and disappearing behind a tractor. The only true footage of that came from fans.

I don’t really have any memories of the 1994 season after Imola. Yet I remember seeing Schumacher win both his Benetton World Titles. Im making this post more so as I’ve been trying for 29 years to piece together what I saw at the time and what I saw later. Now I thought it best to write it down Dammed if I know why it resurfaced tonight at 2am.

On This Day in F1: February 23

Present: Testing Day 3

History: 1958 Juan Manuel Fangio Kidnapped

February 23rd was the last day of testing and once more red flagged due to a drain cover. Instead of 2 sessions, there was one long session with drivers switching off halfway through.

With testing over, there’s only a few days until the first race of the year. The Bahrain Grand Prix will be on Saturday March 1st.

In 1958, February 23rd was not marked by the end of testing, but rather a kidnapping.

In 1957, President Batista of Cuba established the Cuban Grand Prix as a non-Formula One race. Despite it being a non-Formula One race, many F1 drivers did travel to Cuba for the race. The 1957 running had been won by Juan Manuel Fangio.

However, when Fangio returned to Cuba for the second running of the race, it was not as successful as his 1957 run. During practice, Fangio had set the fastest times and was the favorite to win. But on February 23rd - the day before the Grand Prix - Fangio was kidnapped by two men from Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement.

The intention was that Fangio's kidnapping would force Batista to cancel the Cuban Grand Prix and embarrass Batista's government. Despite the kidnapping of Fangio - the 1957 F1 World Champion - Batista ordered that the race happen while the police searched for Fangio. To ensure the race happened, Batista set up:

Roadblocks at intersections

Guards for all airports - private and commercial

Guards for the other drivers

Fangio was handed to the Argentine embassy after the race was finished and Batista's inability to find Fangio's captors was a sign that he was losing his power.

In an interview with the New York Times, Fangio asserted that his kidnappers had treated him kindly.

Instead of Fangio, Stirling Moss would go on to win the 1958 Cuban Grand Prix, but it remains a race marred by tragedy. Cuban driver, Armando Garcia Cifuentes was driving a Ferrari and was inexperienced. Six laps into the race, Cifuentes crashed into the crowd killing seven people and injuring 31 others.

Genuinely wish I was a F1 driver in 70s - 80s right now.

Sure, I'd probably die but the cars are so cool! I'd bet, my crash, I've died in it, marshalls come over to check out the crash and all they see is my dead (possibly burnt) body in the car with a stupid grin on my face.

I'm fine, I swear.
