What has happened, there always used to be at least two or three in F1, with many in the junior formulas? The UK and France have managed to sustain a representative since the 1950's, I can't remember any breaks in that off the top of my head, France might have gone a couple of seasons without when Panis retired, I'll need to check that one. I can't remember a season without an Italian driver in F1 so maybe Ferrari are aware of this and this is the reason. From what i can see online since 1950 the following seasons i have found the following No Italian driver - 2018, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, No British driver -none No French driver - 2011, 2010, 2007, 2005, 1965 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have only been no German drivers in 3 years; 1966, 1969, 1981. In '66 and '69 there were German drivers in the German GP, but they were F2 entrants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Was there not 4/5 British drivers on the grid a few years back? Just noticed Williams are keeping the same lineup too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It'd be nice if this season's visits to places like Imola, Mugello and Portimao led to some positive track choices in the future, where actual proper circuits get on the calendar rather than money-making exercises like Vietnam and whatever the f**k Saudi Arabia is going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it’s all about the money now, why go to the classic circuits when all these rich Middle Eastern and Asian countries will throw millions of pounds your way to host a race? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
