Where is the ceremony for the F1 Driver's or Constructor's Championship?
Just think about it. In all major sports the winners always get a public ceremony to mark their triumph, especially after a long season.
Football, rugby - you name it, there is a presentation of some kind. What about the F1 Driver or Constructors - is it just me missing something or is there absolutely nowt? Shouldn't there be some formal recognition for the no. 1 ace driver of the season and also all those guys and girls hanging over the rails each week. Even if Flav and a few representatives from the team were honoured, plus Ron (2nd) and Todt (3rd !!). Oh and is there a trophy for either? For all its showmanship and pazaazzzz - I can't believe F1 doesn't do more on the last day of the season for the triumphant driver and team. Or do we just miss it on TV? Any thoughts? |

I have to say I agree with you there. There are many hundreds of people who work their ar*ses off all year, a ceremony/party/ball to recognise all the achievers in F1 for that year would be good.

There is a trophy - it's presented at a prizegiving ceremony in Monaco during the winter - along with all the other FIA champions - from drag racing to rallying.

It's a shame the trophies aren't handed out more publically, a ceremony before or after the last race would be suitable.

Can't imagine the winners of the Champions league in football would get their trophy at such a closed shop event. I agree with Silk Cut - I think there would be a lot of value in making this sort of thing public at the track on the last day. I wonder if the FIA Drag winners turn out in ladies clothes. |

Bernies hair looks suspect as ususal and the bloke in the blue shirt and tie (rather than formal evening dress) must have felt a plank.

Well, he has a moustache - so the suit was the least of his worries!

How much more public can they get? They have an event, with media, cameras and stuff - it's just not interesting to see someone get a trophy.

But is it all together ?
I think F1 should deserve a separate event. |

Bon, not sure - but it looks like he's looking with some interest at the jugs in the middle row. A few other things to note:
- Do Max and Bernie actually have hands - Who has just fallen off the stage at the rear left - Is Todt standing in a hole, or is he really that small Back to seriousness, Gala events are for the rich who get in free. I totally agree with Bon - F1 is big enough (and flip expensive enough) to have a big public ceremony, IMO at the venue of the final race. Get a masssive podium out one the track and get the teams up - I think it would make ace viewing and honour the guy who mops up the spillages on the pit garage floor a white muslin cloth.
