@someidiot2007
@someidiot2007 7 жыл бұрын
to everybody saying they had no seatbelts because they could be thrown clear of fires, you arent wrong, but you arent exactly right. there were no seatbelts because in general everyone thought in the event of a high speed, sometimes airbourne crash, like niki lauda in 1976, or, more recently, fernando alonso at melbourne in 2016, it was safer to be thrown clear of the car instead of being strapped in. but they soon realized that it was actually safer to be strapped into the car, with quick driver extracation becoming a focus point for f1 saftey. it lowered the number of driver deaths, with most afterwards being caused by other means, with the tragic death of gilles villeneuve in 1982 being a rare occasion of the seatbelt failing to work properly, although it cant be entirely to blame, as the entire front end of the canadians ferrari was ripped off the car

AURORA Stirling Moss in private was very BWOAH. Innes Ireland was a great joker too. He once climbed a tree standing outside a famous restaurant in which the drivers often ate after the races. When three of them stood under the tree to smoke their cigarettes he whipped out his pride and started peeing on them. They thought at first it was raining... but once they looked up and saw him Innes Ireland laughed like crazy. Back then pranks like these were accepted and men who risked their lives in racing cars and were covered with oil, rubber and all kinds of nasty asphalt and dust didn't make muss fuss of a fellow driver peeing on them from a tree.

In 1957 and 1958, the German Grand Prix had two races in 1. To increase the field, the organisation allowed Formula 2 cars to participate. In 1958 this resulted in a 5th place by F2 driver Bruce McLaren. However, he didn't earn the 2 points for the 5th place, because he wasn't eligible for that. The 5th F1-driver, Cliff Allison, only finished 10th that race and didn't earn the points either.

When I was a kid in the 90s I had a book of F1 stats and some of the 50s drivers would have points tallies like 34.76521. I knew that they would split points for shared races, so that accounted for some of the weirdness, but I had no idea about the shared points for fastest laps so that clears up how that all came to be.

in the 1950's and early 60's few teams actually ran with 2 cars. front running teams like ferrari or vanwall ran 3 or 4 cars, while many privateer entries ran 1 car teams. the most successful and maybe most famous 1 car team is the 1963 lotus team which ran jim clark, which won both championships with a ( then) incredible total of 54 points, 25 points ( or 1 race win today ) ahead of closest rival, BRM driver graham hill. other more well known 1 car teams include ( i think ) mclaren in 1966 and minardi in 1985, while the most well known 3 car team being the alfa romeo drivers, juan manuel fangio, guiseppe 'nino' farina and luigi fagioli, more well known as the 3 F's, who won the drivers championship ( constuctors titles didnt become a championship until 1958 ) with a clean sweep in 1950. other successful 3 or 4 car teams include ferrari 1952 and 1961

Fangio passed his rookie test at Indy in 1958, but never drove there. He did drive in a 200-mile race at the old Trenton oval that same year, though. (Jim Clark won an actual races at both Trenton AND Indy in 1965. Formula 2 was ALWAYS Formula 2 -- the championship was held for cars built to those specs in '52 and '53. There were, however, at least a few stand-alone, non-points races held for F1 cars at various points in those seasons. Non-points races were held in either or both of those years at Albi, Ulster, Chaterhall and Castle Comb and were driven by the likes of Fangio, Gonzalez, Moss, Ken Wharton and Reg Parnell.

The weirdest (in fact, unknown for weird reason) thing about 50s is that there were no such FIA sanctioned series as today up until 1981. The races was organized independently, mostly by local automobile clubs, with various technical regulations, assigned numbers to cars etc. Only some of races (called Grandes Épreuves) were counted for "World Championship for Drivers", with no strict connection with the F1 class (hence Indy 500 and '52-'53 seasons withount any F1 cars there). Apart from that, lots of races were held in F1 class without any connections to the championship up until 80s. Actually, the first F1-class race was 1946 Turin Grand Prix and not 1950 British Grand Prix. 1952 Monaco Grand Prix was held in sports car class... And this is onlty the tip of the iceberg.

I do like the idea of points for fastest lap and points for most consistency. It would be interesting to see championships which award points for different reasons so that the slower teams can still do well and they could introduce points that lead to more exciting races and strategies. I'd probably trial it out in sim racing first though where it's easy to make changes and it doesn't really matter as much.

That´s neither crazy nor weird. It´s counter intuitive but no seat belts saved more life than it cost. Cause getting out of the car was easier when it rolled over or caught fire. Even in 1970, Jochen Rindt refused to wear a complete safety belt cause of the fire possibility.

Here's one thing that was strange in the 50's and remained strange for a long while: your worst x races didn't count. This meant in some cases that a driver leading the championship could not gain points in the final few races and thus could only advance by preventing their rivals from scoring points. The number of rounds counted changed over time but I think this went on through the 70's.

Maybe not related to F1 but I've seen it in many oldies racing. When the start flag dropped, drivers had to run across the track to their cars which were parked on the other side, climb in, start the car, and drive away to begin the race.

Yes, because in order to make a quick getaway many drivers didn't bother with buckling themselves up and simply sat in the car and immediately drove away. This lead to some nasty accidents when the drivers crashed and didn't wear any safety belts... The classic LeMans start sort of worked in the old days but in the 60's when cars became much faster and the drivers had trouble seeing back and to the sides those kind of starts often led to start crashes and that sort of defeats the purpose of a 24 hour endurance race.

Even though it's not only from the 50s-60s, the whole scoring system needs a special mention. Only the best 4-5 results mattered at the end of the season. Also, there was no Constructors/Manufacturers Championship until 1958. Oh, and the GPs really meant Grand Prizes - racers got paid (dolla', dolla', cheddar, cheddar) by performing well in the GPs, and not by the teams.

very few f1 teams of the 1950's and some of the 1960's, for that matter, ran with two cars. the top teams like ferrari or vanwall ran 3 or 4 cars, while many privateer entries were 1 car teams, but the most notable 1 car team was the 1963 lotus team, who won the drivers and constuctors championship after jim clark finished the season on 54 points, 25 pionts ahead of second place graham hill, an astonishing feat back then, considering the seasons were only about 9 or ten races long with the winner picking up just 10 points, compared to todays 25. PS: Despite innes ireland driving for lotus in the 1963 season, he joined a different team before the end of the season, so his 6 championship points did not count towards lotus, therefore i do not count him as a second lotus entry for the 1963 championship.

I actually could see Hamilton arguing for Bottas. Especially since he locked up the drivers championship, and it would also help Mercedes with the constructors title. Not that they need help. If the rumors are true, and Daniel Ricciardo ends up with Mercedes next year, I could totally see either one of them helping each other in any way possible. Daniel comes across as such a down to earth, funny, and genuinely nice guy, as does Lewis. I hear people talk shit about Lewis sometimes, but he seems like a really good dude as well. I'd really like to see them on the same team.

An additional odd F1 stat, thanks to the Indy 500 counting as a World Championship race is that the driver with the best ratio of wins to race starts is.... not Fangio....... not Schumacher...... not Ascari..... not Hamilton...... not Vettel.... no, it's Lee Wallard. He started two Indy 500's in the 50's and won one of them giving him a 50% win ratio of races started, just ahead of Fangio.

That's not why that Mazda engine was banned. Bernie Ecclestone somehow pulled some strings that caused a rule change that required all of the top class prototypes to run F1 type engines (some say he did this in order to preserve F1 at the top of motorsports popularity). Rotaries aren't banned anymore either. Also, the 787b won more due to attrition than anything else. The car wasn't that quick on the straights. It was a full 8 seconds slower in qualifying than the pole-winning Peugeot.
