V12s/Flat-12s are cool and all but only Ferrari every seemed to make them work. I suppose the last 3.5L Hondas count as well but I feel it was a step backwards from the V10.

Renaming Forcd India as Jordan would actually make the most loving sense and it’s what Are Lawrence should’ve done.

This wouldn’t be an issue if he had some sort of definite vision for what F1 should be beyond “everyone can win a race and we want 25 of them a year”.

It’s pretty reasonable to ask exactly where the sport is going and why some races are getting better deals than others as you’re being asked to give up millions of dollars to host a race that most fans would be pretty critical of being left off the calendar.

Spyker was the worst name.

I'm also trying to remember since someone mentioned Arrows. Did anyone take over the team or did it just cease to exist? I honestly cannot remember.

iirc there was some fuckery involving Super Aguri picking up their 2002 chassis to use for the 2006 season but aside from that they stopped existing in any capacity after 2002
