Let’s Rewrite F1 History! 1996-?
Just in case, you are wondering what has happened to the second season of the Alternate F1 Universe using the 2019 mod, there was a technical issue with the actual save file that prevent it from working as intended. Mainly, due to the driver’s being in the wrong positions within the team and the inability to fix it as I wanted to. So, sadly we never get to see the follow-up to the 2019 mod series. Thankfully, I was thinking about doing another series like the first series, but this time using the “default” GPM2 game itself as a base, and actually controlling all of the teams excluding one team, which must be left as AI Controlled. So, buckle up, and get ready for a brave new world of Formula 1!
It’s 1996 and the FIA has finally decided to officially streamline the engine formula for the next decade or so. This new engine formula will be three liter V12’s only, so no more V10’s or V8’s are allowed. This was done to ensure that the racing will still be exciting at all times and requires driver skill above everything else. This also means that many notable engine makers of this era were forced to exit F1 and some previous engine makers have returned back to this loud new era along with new suppliers on top of it! In conclusion, we have six total engine makers in F1. They are Ferrari, Honda (who returns to F1 officially after three years of being Mugen-Honda and suppling customer V10 engines to various teams during that time), BMW (back in f1 officially for the first time since the end of 1987. Yes, the Megatron-badged engine in the 1988 Arrows was in fact based on the BMW M12/13 I4 Turbo engine), Rolls Royce (first time ever in F1), Maybach (first time ever in F1), and Lamborghini (back in F1 after two years away from the sport, was almost an engine supplier with McLaren in 1994 before Ron Dennis decided to try the Peugeot engines that ill-fated year with lackluster results at best).
The Race Calendar:
It’s the same one used as in the real-life 1996 F1 season with one change, the Nurburgring gets dropped in favor of the Kyalami circuit in South Africa which last appeared in 1993. Other than that, no other changes were made.
The Points system
It remains the classic: 10-6-4-3-2-1, as it was in real life
After a lengthy process of reshuffling drivers through the draft lottery and a fantasy driver’s draft and reassigning engine contracts, here’s the new 1996 entry list, and be prepared for a lot of changes up and down the grid!

Belgian GP: Why Spa 1998 stays probably the most exceptional F1 races ever
Belgian GP: Why Spa 1998 stays probably the most exceptional F1 races ever
Belgian GP: Why Spa 1998 stays probably the most exceptional F1 races ever
Former world champion Damon Hill received a Components 1 race for the 22nd and last time at Spa on 30 August 1998
“Oh, that is horrible, that is fairly appalling, that is the worst begin to a grand prix I’ve ever seen in the entire of my life.”
Legendary commentator Murray Walker was seldom misplaced for phrases and true to kind they didn’t fail him when it got here to calling the unbelievable 1998 Belgian Grand Prix.
With the 20-year anniversary of the race approaching, now appears time to look again on an enthralling occasion that featured a 13-car pile-up, spectacular crashes, a livid pit-lane bust-up, horrendous climate from begin to end and a maiden win for one of many sport’s underdogs.
BBC Sport remembers probably the most incident-filled races within the 68-year historical past of the game, with evaluation all through from the BBC’s chief Components 1 author Andrew Benson, who was there that day.
“Reminiscences are slightly hazy – it was 20 years in the past, in any case,” says Benson.
“However they quantity to a mixture of shock, shock, pleasure and most of all, a way of a form of pervading insanity throughout.”
Unfortunate 13 – first-lap chaos units the tone
The race was the 13th of 16 that season, with McLaren’s Mika Hakkinen main the drivers’ championship and chasing his first world title, seven factors away from two-time champion Michael Schumacher of Ferrari.
The weekend was vigorous from the outset with Hakkinen, Jacques Villeneuve and Mika Salo crashing in follow, earlier than Hakkinen took pole with Schumacher fourth.
Come Sunday, the heavens opened in an enormous approach, however the determination was taken to begin the race on the scheduled time with out a security automotive.
And it appeared to be a smart transfer because the vehicles bought beneath approach… for all of 15 seconds.
Hakkinen led the pack down the hill in direction of Eau Rouge after which the drama began.
David Coulthard will get it improper on the exit of the primary nook and is spat throughout the observe
Eventual race winner Damon Hill avoids being collected however others behind are much less lucky
As Coulthard’s battered McLaren slithers down the limitations, the accident collects Eddie Irvine (Ferrari), Rubens Barrichello (Stewart), Olivier Panis, Jarno Trulli (each Prost), Johnny Herbert (Sauber) and Mika Salo (Arrows)
Alexander Wurz (Benetton) and Jos Verstappen (Stewart) are additionally caught within the chaos, whereas the Tyrrell of Ricardo Rosset is a latecomer to the difficulty, slamming into the vehicles forward
13 vehicles are in the end broken within the accident. 4 are unable to take the restart
So what was it like being in the course of all this?
In 2015, Ferrari’s Eddie Irvine told the official Formula 1 website that it had been “a bit scary”.
“I had no brakes, no steering, nothing was working,” he stated.
“I used to be simply sitting there hurtling down the observe with wheels hitting me on the pinnacle and vehicles going all over. There was nothing I may do besides sit there and assume ‘the place is that this taking me?’ It was not nice…”
Jordan’s Ralf Schumacher was proper in the course of all of it – however he was extraordinarily fortunate.
“It was fairly humorous, as a result of I simply noticed a McLaren sideways in entrance of me and I noticed the mess happening throughout me,” Ralf Schumacher later recalled.
“I moved my automotive left, parked it in impartial and waited, simply in time to see an Arrows abruptly miss me by about 10 centimetres.
“Then when all the pieces had settled, I simply engaged a gear and went by means of.”
However the begin of the race just isn’t what sticks in Benson’s thoughts.
“Oddly, the huge pile-up initially, involving a complete of 13 vehicles or greater than half the sector, just isn’t essentially the most highly effective recollection. Most of it entails Michael Schumacher in a method or one other,” stated the BBC’s chief F1 author.
So what did Michael Schumacher rise up to?
Michael Schumacher (proper) ploughs into Coulthard, who had slowed however was nonetheless on the racing line
The rain was nonetheless heavy and the restart was additionally dramatic.
Hakkinen made a gradual begin and spun earlier than the Sauber of Johnny Herbert went into him, ending each their races. Benetton’s Alexander Wurz was one other casualty after a collision with David Coulthard, which left the Scot on the again.
Quickly, the wounded McLaren was being hunted down by chief Schumacher.
On the downhill straight to the 150mph Pouhon nook, Coulthard, on the racing line, backed off to let Schumacher by. However caught unawares, the German’s automotive smashed into the again of the McLaren, ripping off the Ferrari’s proper entrance wheel.
“Oh God!” sputtered Murray Walker, who was incredulous.
Again within the pits, Schumacher assumed Coulthard acted intentionally to hinder the German’s world title hopes to assist Hakkinen – and the German set off right down to the McLaren storage.
‘It was apparent it was simply a type of issues’
Benson’s view of the incident
“Schumacher gave the impression to be on the best way to a routine, dominant wet-weather win, till he shockingly rammed into the again of Coulthard’s McLaren.
“It was apparent – to everybody bar Schumacher – that it was simply a type of issues that may occur on a stinking moist Ardennes day, when visibility on the race observe was nearly non-existent.
“Schumacher, although, didn’t see it that approach. He assumed Coulthard had slowed intentionally, in an try and make the Ferrari ram into him, to assist team-mate Hakkinen within the title battle.
“Everybody who is aware of Coulthard is aware of that is a nonsense, however Schumacher three-wheeled his automotive again to the pits, stormed out of it, and raced off right down to confront his rival within the McLaren pit.
“‘You tried to kill me!’ he screamed as he tried to seize Coulthard’s throat, whereas being held again by Ferrari’s then-sporting director – and future crew boss – Stefano Domenicali.
“There was a rapprochement of types later, however then Schumacher took exception to one thing else…”
‘I will put one thing to you, I feel you’d higher hear’
With solely eight vehicles nonetheless working, the Jordan crew, nonetheless winless after 125 grands prix, discovered themselves vaulted into first and second place, with 1996 world champion Damon Hill out in entrance from team-mate Ralf Schumacher.
The circumstances have been nonetheless horrendous, however the German was the sooner man and difficult Hill’s lead.
Involved they might find yourself dropping Jordan’s first ever F1 win – by no means thoughts a one-two – Hill radioed the crew to say they might proceed to race in the event that they preferred however that it could make extra sense to again off.
Hill’s message over the crew radio. Shortly afterwards, Schumacher was advised ‘Ralf, you can’t overtake Damon, OK? That may be a crew order’
Crew boss Eddie Jordan agreed and insisted that Ralf Schumacher, who was leaving the crew on the finish of the season, couldn’t overtake Hill. The German, reluctantly and after a brief interval of radio silence, lastly acknowledged the order.
Hill took the win, his 22nd and last victory of his profession, whereas Jordan skipped down the pits in celebration of not only a maiden win but in addition a surprising one-two.
“I appeared like a whole fool,” Jordan stated years later. “The euphoria, the thrill it simply took over. It was a day I shall by no means, ever overlook. There have been so many issues wrapped into these couple of hours – intrigue, rigidity, not believing it may occur”
Michael Schumacher, in the meantime, was nonetheless simmering after his earlier crash and sought out the Jordan crew boss – who gave the German his F1 debut seven years beforehand – to complain in regards to the therapy of his youthful brother.
Rain, champagne and Hill’s smile
Benson’s view from the media centre
“Jordan’s imposition of crew orders made Eddie Jordan the contemporary goal of the older Schumacher’s ire, which was a little bit of a jolt for the Irishman, who till then had been jigging round deliriously, swearing joyously at one and all, as he celebrated his crew’s coming of age.
“He was not the one disbelieving one. Again within the media centre, Hill was surrounded by a posse of British journalists – this author amongst them – after the official information convention ended [things were a bit more informal in those days].
“Hill talked as he tried to take it in, because the odor of rain, sweat and champagne wafted up from his yellow overalls.
“20 years later it could be, however Hill’s uncomprehending smile, the huddle, and its accompanying aroma are maybe the clearest reminiscence of all.”
Twists, turns and crashes – pictures from an unbelievable race
Irvine’s Ferrari and Coulthard’s McLaren look distinctly second-hand after the first-lap crash
On the restart, championship chief Hakkinen involves grief – once more exiting the primary nook – and is out
Hill and Schumacher rumble previous as Hakkinen’s McLaren is faraway from the observe
