Would you use team orders and when? Don’t just think switching positions but using both cars when they’re 1st and 2nd to block the road and stop anyone passing like Top Gear did a few years back.
only if just one driver had chances at the title the pther would have to make way. But I would impose that anytime they race each other in the season, they MUSTN’T
crash into each other!!

Eccosspeed.
The name is a nod to the LeMan winning team from Scotland, Ecurrie Ecosse. Speed emplies we’re gonna be fast! ;)

Glorious Failure – Title runners up every season. So close to the title every year but just missing out – like Andy Murray at the tennis – good but not quite good enough.

The optimistic team! “Maybe next year!”
Like the national football team – “Maybe next next time we’ll qualify for the World Cup or Euro Championships!” Or DC – remember, “DC for the title = maybe next year!”

There’s too many white/blue cars to base it on the saltire, so my fave colour of car – yellow, to stand out, with red trim to be like the Lion Rampant Scotland Flag.

Who would be your main sponsor?
Royal Bank of Scotland, the biggest Scottish company. Johnnie Walker and Scottish Power also sponsor the team.

We’re going for the world title so competing against the best – Ferrari, Mclaren and RedBull.

Paul di Resta and Scott Speed :P
Paul is Scottish born so we’re doing the HRT thing to try and get sponsors from the home counry, and Scott Speed because his name is almost like the Team Name!

Just read some of the other ideas: Can’t beleive there is going to be a bidding war for Scott Speed – “Ecosspeed” V “McDonald’s Burger King Happy Meal Racing” Haha, bring it on @TrueF1Grit! :P

My team would be called Tramontane Factory Works, named for a powerful Mediterranean wind. The engine would likely be something like a Cosworth or PURE, rebranded as a new manufacturer – possibly TVR (if they ever get up and running again) or Maserati. Our personality would be young and bold, a team competing for love of the sport. However, because of rampant media hype in our native Australia, we would compete under a racing licence issued in Uruguay. Our first drivers would be Lativian-born former Formula Renault Belgium driver Karlīne Štāla (the first woman in Formula 1 since Giovanna Amati) and Colombian talent Carlos Huertas, because as a new team, we would struggle to attract big-name talent.

Our livery would probably be something like this: http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k364/mosscano/SucrogenBioEnthanolFGFalcon2012V1SC.jpg

Our major sponsors would be Sucrogen Bioethanol, and credit car company VISA. We would also have minor sponsorship from CatalunyaCaixa, Thai Airways, bwin.party, fashion label ZARA and Wayne Enterprises. Rather than number our chassis sequentially (ie the McLaren MP-4/26), they would be named for former World Champions. Our first car would be the Tramontane Farina, followed by the Tramontane Fangio, all the way through to the Tramontane Button and Tramontane Vettel (which would come in out thirty-second year of competition). They would be noted for being particularly good at mid-range circuits, though the cars would suffer on circuits with the lowest and highest levels of downforce on the calendar. Our secret weapon would be an intense development program, with upgrades available at most races.

During our Formula 1 campaigns, our greatest success would be in finding promising young talent that no-one had really considered before. Think of a team that only ever runs two Kamui Kobayashis. However, our greatest failure would be our inability to retain promising drivers for long. After a few years, Štāla would go on to become the first female race winner and World Champion with McLaren, while Huertas would be poached away by Mercedes. Our biggest rivals would be Toro Rosso, largely because they were designed to find young talent, but we are better at it.

team name FAG PACKET ENGINEERING (FPE)
biggest rival, WILLIAMS, we wont be as bad as the 3 tail end charlies
greatest success MAKING LOADS OF MONEY, doesnt seem to materr if your mediocre or not
biggest failure, BEING LIKED BY ECCLESTONE AND TODT
personality of team, WILL BE MODELLED ON HESKETH RACING MODEL OF 1973,74,75, bring in Gary Anderson, also will nick all the Irish /Ulster boys from the pitlane
livery, RED AND YELLOW with red hand of ulster (9 county province of ulster)
main sponsor, TAYTO CRISPS, ORMO, CHAIN REACTION
loyal ally, YOURE HAVING A LAUGH, this is F1 for crickey almighty sakes
biggest enemy, BOULLIER AND MARKO for obvious reasons
Circuits that suit the car, MONTE CARLO, SILVERSTONE, MONZA, SPA, NURBURGRING, if we can win on those ones , who cares about the mickey mouse ones
secret weapon, the LIGIER FLYING TEAPOT AIRBOX, the SENNA POD
drivers, bring over FRANCHETTI from the states and bring in colin TURKINGTON from Touring cars
reserve, DONT NEED ONE, but if the rules say we do, would try to bring over TOMMY BYRNE or prise SKID SOLO outta retirement
fav driver ALONSO, HERBERT, FABI, FITTIPALDI, PETERSEN, WATSON of course
team orders OF COURSE, need to get some coverage on the F1 forum

What would your team be called?
I would buy ART racing team and bring them to F1, combined with my last name. So,
Farr ART. Childish, but it amuses me. Engines from Lamborghini.

Who would your biggest rival be?
Virgin, despite being miles ahead of them, and them not really knowing it. Basically, we’ll have a completely random and unfounded hatred for them, to the extend that we, a team on a tight budget, sponsor their rivals HRT to give that team a boost ahead. We irrationally celebrate every time we beat them- we celebrate every race we complete.
And, of course, Ferrari. Partly because of the Lamborghini engines, but mostly just because it’s Ferrari.

What would be your greatest success story?
Beating (humbling) Ferrari to a debut (first win, first season) win at Monza. This angers the Tifosi due to the old Lamborghini road-car spat, and also because Ferrari begins to lose Italian fans to the British-based team. This cements the relationship with McLaren. This is also the only race all year Ferrari have been able to compete for a podium, let alone a win.

What would be your biggest failure?
Taking out the leader of the final, championship deciding race while being lapped, resulting in a McLaren driver losing the title to someone generally known to be undeserving (despite a penalty, our driver continues, scoring the points to keep Ferrari , who are having a poor season, behind in the constructors, making McLaren a little less pissed).

What would your team be like personality wise (you know how Mclaren are branded as stale but corporate and Ferrari passionate but arrogant…)?
Aloof and pessimistic, at least to the press. We would often do our best to make ‘drunk’ an official personality, particularly mid race when losing badly (drivers included, having a second drink bag and being ordered to use it).

What would your livery be like?
Purple. A deep shade. Needs to be on the grid.

Who would be your main sponsor?
Lamborghini as engine suppliers would feature prominently, even though they need no promotion. Aside from that, bring back Durex, maybe leading to ingenious but distasteful helmet designs forced on the drivers.

Which big F1 name would be your loyal ally?
Team:
McLaren. Despite being completely juxtapositioned to their personality (and pace for the most part), they will often bang their heads against the pit wall, but will share resources and celebrate together.
Person:
Crazy Lauda

Which big F1 name would be your biggest enemy/rival?
Luca di Montezemelo, Helmund Marko, and Barrichello despite him having left the sport and no longer even commenting on it.

What sort of circuits would your car do well at?
High speed like Monza. As Monza is quite unique, this doesn’t bode well for title contention…

What secret weapon or device would your car have?
8 wheels, skirting the issue of 6 being banned ;)
More realistically, I don’t have a clue.

Which two drivers would you hire and why?
Raikkonen- struggling to find an opening in a top team (due to them having contracts, as he should really be very much in demand) after leaving Lotus.
Senna or some great new British talent.
Eventually Hamilton for a season or two, having had to leave Red Bull in a hurry due to their poor results, as a stepping stone for him to return to McLaren. Only hired on the proviso that he doesn’t have a douche-beard or bling ear ring.

Which reserve driver would you have?
Massa, just so he can’t drive in F1. We will pay him millions to do so, and if a driver becomes injured we’ll just find someone else. To keep the contract valid he’ll be thrown an occasional Friday practice and tea-boy duties.

Which would be your favourite driver really?
Hamilton/Button (despite still driving for McLaren).

@mads love yours
@slr sorry for the coincidental use of Lambo

badoer and luizzi , youd be better of with petrov and maldonaldo, mate, the,re rubbish

I originally created my team as taking part in the 2010 season in place of HRT, with Badoer #20 and Fisichella #21 (as Liuzzi was at Force India), and with Valsecchi and Rigon as test drivers. The car was called S10 (S standing for Scuderia, I think).

Regarding the one I posted above, I’ve put Luca Filippi as test driver in my place. I’d drive the car at demonstration runs, as I’d be the team principal.

@fixy :D
