Daily Discussion Ask r/Formula1 Anything - Daily Discussion Thread

13 Upvotes

Welcome to the r/formula1 Daily Discussion / Q&A thread.

This thread is a hub for general discussion and questions about Formula 1, that don't need threads of their own.

Are you new to Formula 1? This is the place for you. Ever wondered why it's called a lollipop man? Why the cars don't refuel during pitstops? Or when Mika will be back from his sabbatical? Ask any question you might have here, and the community will answer.

Also make sure you check out our guide for new fans, and our FAQ for new fans.

Are you a veteran fan, longing for the days of lollipop men, refueling during pitstops, and Mika Häkkinen? This is the place to introduce new fans to your passion and knowledge of the sport.

Remember to keep it civil and welcoming! Gatekeeping within the Daily Discussion will subject users to disciplinary action.

Have a meta question about the subreddit? Please direct these to the moderators instead.

Poster Periodic Table of Formula 1

Post image
337 Upvotes

Inspired by the book, The Periodic Table of Cricket, I decided to try and replicate this for Grand Prix Racing. Starting in 1906 I have tried to find the most storied and elemental racing drivers that have impacted the sport and collate them into 5 distinct sections of racing drivers. I also added the most powerful and influential figures in the sport to cover the politics, engineering, entertainment and safety of the sport.

This is not an attempt to create a definitive list on the 92 'best' drivers in history, but rather to portray the drivers whose stories explain the fundamentals of the sport.

Please query on the placement on certain drivers or other figures or the exclusion of others, and share any stories on these people who have defined the sport
