In this thread you have to put drivers in teams that they have raced for, and you're also limited to two per team. So it's not simply a case of your favourite x drivers and favourite y teams. You have to match them up, and ideally you'd put drivers in cars that they were known for driving rather than a car they did a couple of races in at the start of their career. I think the most teams in a season was 20, so I don't think you should go beyond that (so up to 40 drivers), but you can use less. I'll leave it up to you about exploiting loopholes concerning team identities such as when they change names etc.

I've stuck to drivers I've seen race rather than those before my time (so basically 1983 onwards - I'm pretty old these days). I started by working down the list of drivers in some sort of priority order and putting them in the most appropriate slot available, rather than trying to fit every driver I wanted to into a team. I did a little bit of fudging to get things to work, but I wouldn't do anything like put Schumacher in the Jordan to get my 30th ranked driver into a team. Because of this, a few drivers who I wanted to include missed out - notably Montoya, Watson and Tambay. I also copied Messy by having a team called "Enstone".

1. Ferrari - Schumacher, Raikkonen
2. Enstone - Alonso, Berger
3. Renault - Prost, Arnoux
4. McLaren - Hakkinen, Lauda
5. Mercedes - Hamilton, N. Rosberg
6. Red Bull - Vettel, Coulthard
7. Brabham - Piquet, Patrese
8. Williams - Mansell, K. Rosberg
9. Brawn - Button, Barrichello
10. BAR - Villeneuve, Panis
11. Sauber - Massa, Herbert
12. Jaguar - Webber, Irvine
13. Ligier - Arnoux, Laffite
14. Toyota - Ralf Schumacher, Trulli
15. Tyrrell - Alboreto, Alesi
16. Jordan - Frentzen, Fisichella
17. Toro Rosso - Ricciardo, M. Verstappen
18. Lotus - Senna, De Angelis
19. Arrows - Hill, Boutsen
20. BMW - Heidfeld, Kubica
