Would the current F1 grid be eligible for F1 with the current (post 2016) requirements

In 2016 (post Vertsappen's 2015 debut) the FIA launched the superlicense requirements, partly to promote their "Road to F1" procedure but also to ensure that drivers had adequate experience before F1.

But what drivers do/do not meet these following rules?

A minimum age of 18 at the start of their first F1 competition

An existing holder of an International Grade A competition licence

A holder of a full and valid road car driving licence for the country listed as the driver's nationality which has not been suspended, withdrawn, revoked, or in any other way prevents the holder from driving a motor car on public roads.

Passing of an FIA theory test on knowledge of the F1 sporting codes and regulations.

Completed at least 80% of each of two full seasons of any of the single-seater Championships reported in Supplement 1 of the regulations

Accumulated at least 40 points over the previous three seasons in any combination of the championships reported in Supplement 1 of the regulations

I'll mostly be focussing on rules 1, 5 and 6 for this and using the most recent superlicense points distibution

Hamilton and Vettel in cars that can get this close, racing like nothing else matters, all up on each other, side by side, trading positions, you name it.

Not the best quality video but brilliant racing, with commentary and explanatory subtitling. This is the 17th of 20 races in the F3 Euroseries from 2005, the first of the two held at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, featuring, among others:

Lewis Hamilton (his 2nd year in F3, forced into it by McLaren)

Sebastian Vettel (his rookie year, came fifth overall)

Adrian Sutil (got about half as many points over the season as his teammate, HAM)

Giedo van der Garde

Loïc Duval

Lucas di Grassi

Paul di Resta (also a rookie, would win over VET the next year)

Sadly, today marks 5 years since the passing of Jules Bianchi. The French driver never woke up, after having a horrendous accident at the 2014 Japanese GP. - Despite this, Bianchi's legacy lives on in F1 today and will long continue to do so. Even though Jules' motorsport career was all too brief, he managed to make a big impact on motorsport supporters around the world. - To celebrate the ability that Bianchi had, behind the wheel, here are 3 examples of the Frenchman displaying his very high talent level. - 2009 F3 EUROSERIES: Bianchi absolutely dominated the series, for ART Grand Prix, despite being alongside some very strong team-mates and competitors. He won 9 races, which the next closest driver winning just 4 races. - Among Bianchi's team-mates were Adrien Tambay, Esteban Gutierrez and Valtteri Bottas. Bianchi ended the season on 124 points, with Bottas in 3rd place overall scoring a mere 62 points. - 2014 MONACO GP: This was the race where Bianchi truly announced himself as a major talent, to the F1 world. Everybody knew of his potential already, but this performance showed that Bianchi really was something special. - In a hopelessly slow Marussia, Bianchi drove out of his skin. On pure pace, the car was never a points contender but Bianchi stayed out of trouble and defied a 5-second time penalty to take an amazing P9. - 2014 F1 YOUNG DRIVER TEST: Whilst this didn't come during a race weekend, Bianchi's performance during this mid-season test at Silverstone gave us a glimpse of what he could have been capable of, in a Ferrari. - With a lap of 1:35.262s, he was fastest of all. Even more impressively, this was significantly faster than the time Kimi Raikkonen had achieved in the same car, at the same track, in practice for the previous week's British GP. The time was just 0.018 secs down on Alonso's best effort, too. - RIP Jules Bianchi. 🏁🏁 | CREDITS: MOTORSPORT IMAGES | #F1 #FormulaOne #F12020 #F1News #F1Pics #F1Memes #F1History #ClassicF1 #RoadToF1 #JulesBianchi #JB17 #ScuderiaFerrari #FerrariF1 #DR3 #CL16 #VB77 #KR7 #RenaultF1Team #LN4 #MercedesAMGPetronas #TeamLH #LH44 #MV33 #HondaF1 #SV5 #AG99 #HaasF1 #EO31 #MichaelSchumacher #KeepFightingMichael https://www.instagram.com/p/CCvaKc2hrPM/?igshid=17vd4sh8xd80w

Saturday 1st/Sunday 2nd, July 2006 – Brands Hatch, London

Well, we had a really relaxing weekend at the DTM meeting at Brands Hatch. Charlie Kimball, being the lovable guy that he is, had very kindly got us some passes from his team (Signature Plus), as had our friend Mark Hillier who was running Julia Kuhn in the Euroseries F3, and was also working for Audi on Vanina Ickx’s car (we didn’t see much of Mark – he was a high speed blur in the distance, changing shirts so often it was a wonder he ended up wearing the right ones… Anyway, knowing there were passes at that end of the trip we dragged ourselves cross-country on Friday to go and stay with Angela and Gordon, who live about 15 minutes away from the circuit. It shouldn’t have been a cross country journey, but the roads seemed to be full of idiots, most of whom were spending Friday running into each other. The upshot of that was we went by a very convoluted route from Towcester to South East London and didn’t get there till about 9.30 that evening. Given the absurdity of the timetable on Saturday and Sunday, it was an early-ish night after a cold supper for us…

Saturday we needed to be at the circuit by 9.30 am, so we left at 9.00, meeting Bob and Andrea at the circuit in good time. Charlie came to meet us at the gate, and we managed to round up Mark’s Dad and Sister inside. As the passes from Mark were a) labelled with our names, and b) allowed us onto the grid for the F3s, we hung onto those. A swing through the F3 paddock revealed that we weren’t the only people spending our weekend off at an F3 race. There were several members of Carlin Motorsport and Raikkonen Robertson Racing swanning around, and Fortec Motorsport and Hitech Racing were both actually competing in the rival series. Basically, anyone who is anyone in F3 was there, pretty much. It wasn’t long before they started rounding up the cars in the assembly area, ready to let them through into the centre and the pit lane, so we hung around there taking lots of photos, and then made our way across to the grid, just because we could. Things overheard that amused me included one end of an exchange between Esteban Guerreri and one the Manor Motorsport boys. Having had all his times disallowed from qualifying, he was starting from the back of the grid. Manor boy, walking towards him from the front end of the grid, was heard to ask “Can you see the lights, Esteban?” I don’t know what sort of answer he got, but I’ll bet it wasn’t too polite. Anyway, we legged it back to the outside just after the five minute board was hung out, and had it not been for one of the orientals pitching into the gravel trap on the warm up lap, it’s unlikely we would have made it to Paddock Hill Bend in time for the start. What followed was one of the most processional races I’ve ever seen… What possessed the organisers to opt for the Indy circuit, and 57 laps of it at that, I have no idea, but the result was a very dull race indeed. There were the odd bits of entertainment, one of those being watching Guerreri try and hack his way back up the order, the other being Sebastian Vettel, the Euroseries’ 12-year old girl (to look at anyway – every series has one – it may be compulsory) attempting to glue himself to Paul di Resta’s gearbox im search of a way to get into the lead. And that was pretty much it. Charlie made up a couple of places at the start, but the car was horrible, and was understeering all over the place, so he couldn’t really do anything. He cheered up enough to invite us all to stop and have lunch, which was excellent. Note to self; if befriending a driver, try and persuade him to drive for a French team… Anyway, by then it was around 14.00, so we headed back to Eltham, stopping to buy Pimms on the way. A lazy afternoon in the garden, drinking said Pimms, was followed by a fairly busy evening.

Marc Hynes, 1999 British F3 Champion, and all-round good guy, has recently started a new business venture. He and his brother, along with a friend, have opened a bar and restaurant near Waterloo Station, something of a trendy area for bars and restaurants these days. Jack’s has been open five weeks now, so we figured we’d get ourselves there and see what it was like. Marc reserved us a table, and we arrived around 8pm. The actual bar is built into a huge railway arch, and the entire front is glassed in, the glass sliding across to open out onto the pavement. There were tables on the pavement, as well as inside, given the heatwave, but we were at the back in a semi-private room. The food was excellent (although the service got a bit disorganised – we never did see the French fries, though they also didn’t appear on the bill), the confit of duck being served on some interestingly pickled vegetables with Japanese pickled ginger that really too the fatty edge off the meat, and we drank a lovely refreshing rose wine for most of our stay. Apparently the chef was previously at the Oxo Tower, so it’s not surprising that he knows what he’s doing. I’m reliably informed that both the sausage and mash and the calves’ liver were also very good, and three courses and wine came out at around £30 each. By the time we left a handful of the Carlin boys and girls – including Olly Jarvis – had arrived, and they tried to drag us into a drinking contest, but we had more sense and went home instead! Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Don’t need to do it again…

Sunday we set off even earlier, which was just as well. The traffic into Brands was more than slightly horrible, and we ended up having to trek cross-country, down lots of tiny Kentish lanes, some of them only wide enough for a single car in one direction. We eventually got there around 9.30, the trip having taken an hour. This time we didn’t go on the grid, having decided it was too hot to rush back to get to somewhere where we could see. It didn’t seem worth the effort. Instead, we went to the start/finish line suites, having been invited up by Mike Conway’s father. It was lovely and cool up there, and we watched yet another less than scintillating F3 race, before retreating back to the paddock for lunch at Signature. Then we headed for the hills, getting out before the DTM’s finished. There were an awful lot of people there and we didn’t want to get caught up in traffic getting home. As it was, we were home by around 16.30, so we collapsed in the garden for a while, watched the Grand Prix and went to bed early.

Travel 2006 – Brands Hatch, London Saturday 1st/Sunday 2nd, July 2006 - Brands Hatch, London Well, we had a really relaxing weekend at the DTM meeting at Brands Hatch.

How Lewis Hamilton became an F1 record-breaker

WhenMichael Schumacherscored his 91st and final grand prix victory, it was impossible to imagine anyone getting anywhere near his record. Yet just 14 years after he crossed the finish line in China on 1 October 2006, a man who would only make his Formula 1 debut a few months later has now officially surpassed the German on race wins, and surely soon on world titles as well – and there isn't even a flicker of surprise about that.For some time, it has seemed only a question of when, not if,Lewis Hamiltonwill statistically become the greatest of them all. The 35-year-old sure has come a long way since Martin Whitmarsh first met a strikingly confident karting prodigy. AsMcLarenboss Ron Dennis's loyal and trusted lieutenant, Whitmarsh gained an insight into the vulnerabilities of a superstar in the making, then played a leading role in guiding the precocious talent through the pitfalls of his early F1 career.Whitmarsh doesn't pretend to know Hamilton like he used to, autel maxisys update. although it's surely significant that he has been personally invited to join the six-time world champion's new commission to investigate diversity in motorsport. Now on the other side of a successful F1 career that included a spell as McLaren team principal (until Dennis manoeuvred him out of the company that he loved so dearly in 2014), Whitmarsh simply watches Hamilton's rise with pride. He's a bystander, perhaps, but one more deeply and personally informed than most. Here he talks us through Hamilton's career to date."Lewis was very young when I first met him. He had this earnest and focused desire to win, an air of self-confidence. Whether it was instructed by his father or was a natural inclination, he had a desire to crush your hand when he shook it and look you in the eye. I didn't have too much involvement in his karting, but I got involved during his transition from karts into cars. He was polite and determined and wanted to make an impression.""His transition into cars wasn't easy. He had grown up and been very successful in karts, but it was an interesting phase when he came to Formula Renault, because he didn't have quite the same self-assurance. I remember calling him after races when I knew he had immense pressure from himself and from his father. I felt it was appropriate to support him, to tell him that we believed in him and that it was a long path."Hamilton won the FormulaRenaultUK title at his second attempt, then graduated with Manor Motorsport to the Formula 3 Euroseries. At the end of a promising first year, he and his father wanted to push on to the new GP2 series – but Whitmarsh urged caution."We had a lot of friction and disagreement. He wanted to go to GP2 and I wanted him to do another year of F3. I didn't feel there was a rush, and he needed to rediscover that self-assurance he had had in karting. I wanted Lewis to have the pressure of a second season. In your rookie year, you can excuse yourself, because there are always those with more experience. If you stay back, you are the favourite, you have to deliver. In that second F3 season, he restored that old reassurance."He didn't want to do it. In fact, I released him from his contract. I tore it up in front of him and his father, saying: ‘We're here to help; if you believe we're injuring your career, it's best you go.' Fortunately, six weeks later they came back. I'm delighted they did! I moved Lewis from Manor to ASM [soon to become ART] and he dominated. He was then more prepared to graduate to GP2 with career momentum. Hopefully Lewis believes now it was the right call."Hamilton blitzed the 2006 GP2 title, then McLaren offered him the chance of a lifetime – as team-mate in F1 to incoming championFernando Alonso ."We signed Fernando first before we gave Lewis the other seat. I remember saying to him: ‘Your dad knows, but what about your mum?' She was working in a factory. So I rang the factory and asked for a supervisor, who got Brenda off the factory line. I handed the phone over to Lewis and he said: ‘Mum, I'm an F1 driver now.' A lovely moment. Then when we told Fernando, he said: ‘We're meant to be fighting for the championship. How can we fight w...

F1 - A guide to the Nurburgring

Robert's guide to the Nürburgring - Sauber GroupThe Formula One calendar returns to the Nürburgring after a seven-year hiatus and, while the cars and many drivers have changed, the magic of this place remains intact. Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN driver, Robert Kubica, who is racing DTM in Zolder this weekend, may not be here this time, but he’s got plenty of experience around this circuit… The Nurburgring is a track I have been to pretty often, from my days in the F3 Euroseries – although some of the time we were racing on the short version of the track, which skips the most exciting part! I raced there twice in F1 with Sauber, first in 2007 when I was seventh, and again in 2009. I have also been there recently with DTM, and I have to say the long version of the track, or the Grand Prix track, is pretty good. The relatively narrow middle part of the track will be very interesting for the current F1 cars. The first sector, which I think was only built in the early 2000s, is not the most entertaining when you’re in the cockpit but actually it’s the one where you can win or lose most of the lap time. I don’t expect there to be massive overtaking opportunities, apart from under braking into Turn One, but it’s the kind of track where you have a bit of everything – you have high-speed corners, you have a low-speed chicane, and you have a very tight hairpin in Turn One. This makes it quite a challenging track from a set-up point of view, so you have to focus. You cannot have a car that suits every kind of corner, so you have to choose your priorities. —sauber-group.com

CARLOS SAINZ JR. JOINS CARLIN’S F3 OUTFIT FOR 2012

November 3, 2011

Carlos Sainz Jr. will contest the Cooper Tyres International British Formula 3 Series next year with front-runners Carlin, it was announced today.

The 17 year-old and son of double world rally champion Carlos Sainz, enjoyed an impressive debut in single-seaters in 2011, taking 12 wins on the way to the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC title, as well as finishing runner-up in the Formula Renault 2.0 Euroseries.

“I'm really looking forward to next year, it's going to be a challenge but I know I'm with the best team for British Formula Three.” Carlos said.

As yet another youngster on the Red Bull young driver programme, Carlos is keen to mimic the success of fellow Red Bull backed drivers and British F3 champions like Jean Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo.

“I can't wait to take part in the series and hope to be challenging for wins like Jaime [Alguersuari],” Daniel and Jean-Eric did. I know that my first season will be difficult especially because there will be new cars next season, but I trust the team to develop the car as they have done in previous seasons and I'm sure if I work hard we will have a good year.”

Team owner Trevor Carlin, was also excited with his new signing – the team’s first concerning the 2012 season. “We've been watching Carlos for some time now and his natural talent and speed is clear to see. We're very proud that once again Red Bull has chosen to put one of their Junior drivers with us in British F3 and hope that we can achieve a similar level of success with Carlos over the next 12 months.

“Carlos has been extremely impressive in the small amount of testing he's done so far, but he is still very young and will stand a lot of intense competition from inside and outside the team next year, in what I think will be a very competitive season.”

Sainz Jr’s next F3 race will come at this year’s prestigious Macau GP on November 20th, though he is provisionally expected to contest with F3 Euroseries’ Signature team for the weekend, with whom he competed in the series’ 2011 finale in Hockenheim.
