F1rret: Difference between revisions

F1rret is currently a main driver at the [[Vertza Racing Team]] alongside [[ameberyl]] and holds an infinite contract length due to his role as team manager.

=== 2023 ===

Having practiced with the Formula One grid at the [[Aurora:2023 Mali Grand Prix|2023 Mali Grand Prix]], F1rret signed as a reserve for [[BT Racing]] for two rounds to replace team leader [[MonarchTai]], starting at the [[Aurora:2023 Coats Grand Prix|2023 Coats Grand Prix]]. Following a p10 finish and scoring points on debut, the Patagonian driver became connected to the [[BMW M Formula One Team]] through [[Eternal Wind]]. After not finishing the [[Aurora:2023 Chinese Grand Prix|Chinese Grand Prix]], F1rret ended his contract with BT despite attempts to keep him as a reserve, signing instead with BMW as their first reserve. As part of the transfer contract, F1rret was loaned to the [[BEB Racing Team]] under [[Bobbobster]] to fill the second main seat so as to compete in the [[Aurora:2023 Formula One Championship|2023 Championship]] whilst not taking a main seat at BMW's already full team. This contract was amended after just one race with BEB at the controversial [[Aurora:2023 Vietnam Grand Prix|Vietnam Grand Prix]] in which F1rret's teammate was revealed to have been professional Ice Boat Racer F4n14sy; a controversy which ultimately led to the disqualification of BMW from the 2023 World Constructors Championship. Eternal Wind decided to end their season early in 2023 by announcing their retirement with immediate affect and thus promoting the mostly inexperienced Patagonian driver to a main seat. Debuting with BMW at the [[Aurora:2023 Spanish Grand Prix|2023 Spanish Grand Prix]], a laggy race started F1rret's career with an unlucky p13 by the end of the race meanwhile his teammate, [[EmpressCorgo]], achieved a maiden and only victory. The [[Aurora:2023 United States Grand Prix|2023 United States Grand Prix]] saw a minor turn-around with the Patagón achieving a p10 finish in a quieter race for a second career points finish after boattapping [[Bobbobster]] in the later stages of the race. The [[Aurora:2023 Crimean Grand Prix|Crimean]] and [[Aurora:2023 Ancient Egypt Grand Prix|Ancient Egypt]] Grand Prix marked a slight turn around with continued points finishes following two ninth place finishes and placing the BMW driver ahead of rookie rival [[Fabixcx|Fabinostalgia]]. The final race of the season took place at F1rret's home race, the [[Patagonian Grand Prix]], with F1rret qualifying an impressive sixth for his eighth Grand Prix start. The race started well with F1rret cutting into the first corner and running the first lap in the podium positions. This was however changed after a lag spike on the main straight leading into lap 2 kicked him from his boat and demoting him to fifth. Continued fps lag for the Patagón saw the rookie driver retire from his home race and saw Fabinostalgia victorious in their rivalry.  

=== 2026 ===

Following the elongated Summer break between April and September, F1rret confirmed his continued drive at [[BMW]] with the team rebranding to [[Vertza Racing Team]] alongside friend and former rival [[ameberyl]]. Immediate issues for the driver, who began running under the English flag, saw F1rret miss the season opener at the [[Nostra:2026 Zurich Grand Prix|Zurich Grand Prix]] and putting him at a disadvantage to his rivals. After qualifying in third for the [[Nostra:2026 Georgian Grand Prix|2026 Georgian Grand Prix]], F1rret finished the race second behind 56Faxeo as the only non-lapped driver after unlapping himself on the final lap.
