Simtek F1 🟣 🇬🇧 🏎🏁

Very unofficial tribute to everyone's favourite purple F1 team and other nonsense

Just to let you all know we're still here and Phoney Stark hasn't deleted this account just yet.

It is about two days away from being taken over by those scammers who advertise cut-price Ray-Bans though

Last pod of the year sees us dissect the F1 movie.

Come for the nitpicking, stay for the lack of a Super Licence, bad romantic subplot and flat-out cheating.

Do these sound like the actions of a man who's satisfied with the current state of F1?

[Simtek F1 🟣 🇬🇧 🏎🏁 @SimtekF1]

In case anyone was wondering about any racing projects David Brabham was involved with post-Simtek...

Remember when Noel Edmonds took on the 24 Heures du Mans? Neither did we!

Fortunately, a BBC filmcrew captured the entire thing, which means we can talk about the insanity of 'Noel's Le Mans Dream'.

Remembering Roland Ratzenberger on what would have been his 65th birthday.

Roland made just 1 @F1 start with @SimtekF1 in 1994, we know why.

Prior to that he had raced in the @BTCC, taken a class win in the @24hoursoflemans,...

...'94 gearbox.

The pair managed 3 finishes between them in 4 rounds in 1995, before financial issues saw them miss Monaco & Canada before going bankrupt, selling the 2 chassis for a combined £34,000

A sad end to an ill-fated venture.

Time for another 30 year #throwback; it's been that long since we lost @SimtekF1 from the @F1 grid after a tragedy-marred & ill-fortuned 18 months.

In 1995 Domenico Schiatarella & Jos Verstappen took the wheel, the latter bringing Benetton's...

Absolutely buzzing for this weekend's race around the iconic streets of Cas Vegas 😍

It`s all coming into place to be the new boys on the grid for 1994, hoping all the hard work will pay off. Glad to have Roland on board, a second driver is still undecided but hoping we can get David Brabham.

Happy Birthday David Brabham.

3-time class winner & 2009 winner of the @24hoursoflemans, David started 24 @F1 GPs for the team bearing his father's name & for @SimtekF1

He was 1989 British F3 champion, has won the @Bathurst1000,...

As we spend time remembering Imola 94, my wife @brabsdiva opens up for the first time about her journey through that tragic weekend. #RIPRoland #f1 #imola94

I don't believe there is a better way to call it a day.

Ratzenberger and Senna in one shot at Imola.

Two hero's, two champs, both on their own level, both lost their lives at Imola.. separated by just a day..

Remembering Roland Ratzenberger, lost so tragically on this day 1994 following an accident ahead of the San Marino GP at @autodromoimola - just his 3rd @F1 Grand Prix weekend with @SimtekF1

In fairness, we'd probably make the same mistake too as we've never gone long enough in a race to see what a chequered flag looks like...

[Autosport @autosport]

🚨 Big news from @f1academy 🚨

Doriane Pin has been given a 20 second time penalty for taking the chequered flag twice and LOSES her Race 2 win to Abbi Pulling.

Can't this sport go one day without a scandal?

[Simtek F1 🟣 🇬🇧 🏎🏁 @SimtekF1]

We prefer XTC. You can actually buy cans of that, for starters

Competition is needed

Wait, FRIDAY qualifying?!

Oh boy, have we messed up here...
