What kind of cruel joke does a parent conduct by calling their kid 'Dick Seaman'?

Oh, grow up His name was Richard Beattie Seaman.

That's about as valid as calling Michael Schumacher "Mickey Cobblers".

But at no point did the FIA give any of these formulae official names: in contemporary reports you will find Formula A/Formula B/Formula C, Formula 1/Formula 2/Formula 3 and Formula I/Formula II/Formula III. None of these is wrong, but none of them is right either - because nobody ever made a rule about it. It was all down to what individual journalists or race organisers decided they'd call them.

I seem to recall "Formula One" as well. Even in other languages.

Interestingly, the official F1 lap record at Donnington is the only one which Ayrton Senna still holds.

Not that it has a lot of merit, given there's been no races there since the unique 1993 event. But it's a point against coming back there

To be fair this lap record was a bit controversial even back then, as it was achieved by driving to the pit lane. Mclaren were not ready for a tyre stop and Senna drove straight through, back then without stupid speed limits. As the pit lane was essentially a shortcut from the track, this lap was the fastest of the race.

So a bit of a curiosity anyway...;)

Not even Moto GP are satisfied with Donington.
The track has recieved lots of criticism and the infrastructure has been letting people down this weekend.
