A Casual American F1 Fan’s 2019 Predictions: FINAL RESULTS By Brian Cotnoir I made A LOT of bold predictions this season, and I was feeling very confident about my predictions, I thought we were going to see some exciting races, and some changes to the field…but honestly, I was way off!   In fact, as you will see from my list of Predictions that I made before the start of the season, I was only accurate 40% of the time, but at the time I didn’t think I’d be that far off; and some of my predictions are open to interpretation.   Did anyone else here think that the only Podium finishers outside of The Big 3 Teams were going to be Toro Rosso and McLaren?   No!   So let’s take a look at how wrong I was (and a few times that I was actually right) this F1 Season! PREDICTION #1 Lewis Hamilton will win a 5 th straight Championship This one was a no-brainer.   I think picking anyone but Hamilton this season would have been stupid, and you know what I th...

TOP 10 BEST First Time Winners in NASCAR for 2019 A List Compiled by Brian Cotnoir Another NASCAR Season has come and gone, and while the Cup Series wasn’t anything to get too excited over (unless your favorite driver won lots of races), but we had a lot of first time winners across NASCARS top-3 series this season; eleven in fact!   So I’m counting down the Top 10 Best 1 st time winners in NASCAR this season!   Who is the one driver I’m leaving off this list?   Austin Sh!twreck of course!   Why?   Because screw him!   He only has that ride because his dad runs Penske’s IndyCar team, and he’s a dirty driver.   I’ve seen him dump other drivers to get wins in multiple series, and it’s not “ rubbing is racing incidents ”, it’s the-only-way-I’m-going-to-win-is-if-I-wreck-this-other-driver incidents!   So screw you Austin Sh!twreck consider this your (dis)honorable mention . Now without further ado let’s talk about the Good 1 st time Winners...

Top 5 Worst Performing Footwork Arrows drivers A list compiled by Brian Cotnoir Back when I published my article on the 5 Worst Performing Arrows Grand Prix drivers, I made it clear that I was purposely omitting the Footwork years, but did say that I might write a future list where I take a look at the Top 5 Worst Performing Footwork drivers, and today is that day.   Nothing else new to say, here are the Top 5 Worst Performing Footwork Arrows drivers (oh and if you haven’t read my Top 5 Worst Performing Arrows drivers list, I’ll leave a link at the bottom of the article. 5.)   Derek Warwick, 1 season (1993), 4 Championship points scored, Finished 16 th in the Final Points Standings Derek Warwick came back to F1 after a 3-year hiatus and ran his final season in F1 with the Footwork team.   Warwick managed to score 4 Championship points in his Final Season of F1.   His best finish was a 4 th place at the Hungarian Grand Prix that year. 4.)...

Top 5 Multi-Motorsport Drivers A List compiled by Brian Cotnoir Motorsports is a diverse sport.   There isn’t one type of racing, there are multiple; Stock Car, Open-Wheel, Drag Racing, Dirt Racing, Truck Racing, motorcycle racing, Endurance Racing, and others!   The racing world is full of champions and legends like Michael Schumacher, Richard Petty, John Force, Steve Kinser, and Ayrton Senna.    However, all those aforementioned drivers tended to dominate just one form of Auto racing.   They may have dabbled in other forms of racing, but failed to achieve much success outside of their main form of racing.   The truly best drivers can win in anything with four wheels (and even 2 wheels).   Today I am here to countdown the 5 Best Multi-Motorsport drivers!   This wasn’t an easy list to compile, I had to leave off drivers like Jacque Villenueve, Fernado Alonso, Graham Hill, and Sebastien Buemi, who are all great drivers in their own respects...
