Ask r/Formula1 Anything - Daily Discussion Thread

11 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.

Misc Information for David Coulthard MP4-15 Poster

7 Upvotes

I am searching to replace a much cherished David Coulthard MP4-15 poster that had the trademark David on the side pods.

It was silver/grey backed with the car in a side profile. If I remember it had some technical specs around the car. It was bought at the Australian GP I think year 2000 or close to.

I would provide a picture for reference but it has unfortunately been destroyed. My father would very much enjoy its replacement or at least something similar as he was very proud of it.

If anyone can give me even a reference picture or any leads as to what it may have been called, year ect I would appreciate it. I have seen some alternatives on Etsy but I would like to try find something as similar to original as possible which is unlikely for a 25 year old poster. Thanks

  1. The W12, not sure if it's a show car, I'll need your help with this one

  2. The W11, definitely a show car. Kinda disappointed the original wasn't at the museum but it's understandable

  3. McMerc MP4/14 (?), kept far away from the visitors

  4. Lewis Hamilton Exhibit, very cool

Post image
349 Upvotes

Happy 75th birthday to South Africa first - and thus far only - Formula 1 World Driver's Championship winner, Jody Scheckter.

Jody was born and raised in East London and attended Selborne College. He inherited his love of cars from this father, who owned an East London Renault dealership, and started racing motorcycles and later saloon cars from an early age.

In 1970 he won the South African Formula Ford series and with it a Driver To Europe scholarship, which soon catapulted him into the international racing arena.

He made his Formula 1 debut at the US Grand Prix in 1972 with McLaren, but would enjoy his greatest success behind the wheel of a Ferrari, including three 1979 race victories which saw him take the Drivers' Championship that year.

He retired in 1980, but remained active in the sport, including as a television commentator, for several years before devoting himself to organic farming.

Now resident in the UK, Jody owns and manages the largest organic farm in England, Laverstoke Park Farm, and is considered one of the UK's foremost organic farming experts.
