Tornado Motorsport are a British team that have been in FF1M since the 2002 season. They are managed by the methodical, meticulous and perennial moaner Tobias 'Wolff' Barnes, and are notable for winning the constructors championship on their first full season in the major series, and winning another three through the 2014 FF1M Season.
FF1M History[]
Highs and Lows (2002-2006)[]
2002[]
Tornado entered their first season in the main series with Ferrari engines and FF2M champions Ricardo Zonta and Juan-Pablo Montoya spearheading their assault on the championship. Even with such a strong combination, it may have been a surprise to see Montoya taking their first win in only their 5th race. Everything looked good after the German Grand Prix when Montoya looked on course to overtake Fernando Alonso for the championship lead, but his luck took a massive nosedive. Five retirements in the final five races spelled the end of his championship challenge. The constructors championship was a different story. With Tobias following advice from Gui Racing's team boss, Tornado fielded a very competitive car and following Zonta's maiden win in the Canadian grand prix, Tobias saw his team take the championship lead. Despite a stern challenge from Dark Wolf towards the end of the season, Tornado managed to secure their title.
2003[]
Tornado kept Montoya for the 2003 season, but Zonta was dropped in favour Canadian Jacques Villeneuve, fresh from Ajay Motorsport's withdrawal from the series. Compared to last season, Tornado's season was a comparative disaster. Montoya and Villeneuve managed to score just one podium each on Tornado's way to 7th in the championship.
2004[]
All was changed for 2004 with an all British line-up of David Coulthard and Jenson Button. Tornado also kept the Renault engine with plans to install a turbo midway through the season. Unsurprisingly, the season started off slowly due to the lack of turbo where only four points were scored, but once the turbo was ready for racing, they became much more competitive as Button took poles at Hockenheim and Interlagos. Although Tornado gained a considerable amount of power, they also gained a fair amount of unreliability and as a result, they lost several chances to get either car on the podium which ultimately left them in last place in the constructors after Spa. From Monza onwards though, reliability improved dramatically. Particularly at Monza where both cars were running 1-2 with ten laps to go before being pipped to a 2-3 finish when FJR's Jarno Trulli made a late charge by catching and overtaking both cars. With both cars consistently scoring points in the final races. Tornado had leaped from last all the way to 6th, beating Gui Racing in the process.
2005[]
The whole team remained the same for 2005 with both Jenson Button and David Coulthard retained along with the V10 Renault Turbo. Initially, the season was looking bright for them after their strong finish to last season and having their own car technology close to being finalised, but it turned out to be a complete nightmare of a season for the team. Despite a solid start to the season, Tornado would only go on to score just seven points which would see them plummet all the way down in last place by the season's end. This led to question marks as to whether team boss Tobias wanted to continue in FF1M as he admitted there was "no joy" after his "worst ever season."
2006[]
For 2006, the team had decided to keep Jenson Button but ditch their Renault turbo engines and Coulthard in favour of German Nick Heidfeld, who was also on a two-year-deal, and Mercedes V8 engines. 2006 was initially penned as a development season for the team as they were researching CFD that would double the amount of grip earned through testing. Much like 2004, there were many opportunities for strong results that were vanished due to unreliability or just plain bad luck, particularly for Button who delivered much more out of the car than Heidfeld. There were a couple of strong results for the team, including Heidfeld setting the fastest lap in Monza and Button's superb podium finish at Suzuka after making such a strong start. Overall, 8th was considered "not bad," especially as they also managed to qualify for every race after the new pre-qualifying system was introduced. However, Heidfeld's underachievement prompted Tobias to release him early from his two-year contract.
Back to the Front (2007-2013)[]
2007[]
2007 saw Mark Webber and Giorgio Pantano drive for team and keeping the Mercedes V8, which was now on a two-year deal. It turned out to be a much more competitive and consistent year for the team that saw the team clinch 4th in both championships and also their first victory since 2002 that was achieved by Pantano at Singapore. It came after both Hamilton and Vettel retired along with a great overtake for the lead on Shannon's Jenson Button. What was also remarkable about this win was that Pantano had only qualified 16th and on a street circuit. However, even though Webber was the slightly quicker driver, he was desperately unlucky throughout the season after losing at least five other chances of getting a podium finish, and only scored one podium finish at Suzuka compared with Pantano's six. Webber's season was also plagued by Shake 'n' Bake's Gianmaria Bruni compromising him in at least three out of the first seven races, most notably at Montreal. Webber was approaching to lap the Shake n' Bake driver until Bruni went off and carelessly rejoined in the path of Webber, causing a collision. This caused the Aussie to crash into the barrier after a podium was in reach, but Bruni merrily carried on with no damage. This made team boss Tobias very angry and hired Liam Neeson to "take care of the subject." A statement from Shake 'n' Bake was released between the Austrian and British Grand Prix confirming Bruni's immediate retirement from FF1M due to "horrific facial injuries." Despite all this, it had been Tornado's best season since 2002.
2008[]
The 2008 season saw Jenson Button return to the team to partner Giorgio Pantano along with the return of the blue Gauloises livery. The first few races saw Button take two opening victories but was soon followed by three consecutive retirements; engine faliure at Imola, crashing out at Valencia and then a collision with FJR's Fernando Alonso at Nurburgring. Although Jenson had crashed out very early in the race at Valencia, Pantano was able to capitalise on his teammate's error and took his first and only victory of the season. Nurburgring was by far the worst race of the year for the team as both drivers retired due to collisions with other drivers. Button had absolutely needed to get some consistency at Monaco and responded with a vengeance when he lapped the entire field, Pantano was running in 2nd before a mechanical failure occurred with only three laps to go that robbed Tornado of their first 1-2. Canada was disappointing for them with Jenson having to pit very early in the race and only able to finish 5th despite qualifying on pole, while Pantano had crashed out at the wall of champions. Austria saw a solid result for the team despite Gui Racing gaining more points with Kubica winning and Button getting a poor start from pole. Button initially experienced déjà vu at Silverstone with pole and another poor start, but he drove the race of his life after catching and passing the other Tornado of Pantano on the final lap that saw the team finally clinch their first ever 1-2. Hockenheim should have seen Gui Racing build a much bigger lead on Tornado after Button was having an untidy race, but both Gui Racing drivers unbelievably collided and crashed out going into the Ostkurve. Another double DNF would follow for Gui Racing at the Hungaroring, which meant that Tornado had gained 32 points on Gui Racing in just three races. Further victories for Button followed in Monza and Interlagos, but it was his consistency that proved more impressive as he finished in the top five for ten consecutive races from Monaco all the way to Abu Dhabi, where he finally won his first drivers championship. Despite a double retirement, the constructors championship was won a race later at Suzuka, as Gui Racing struggled. Throughout 2008, Tornado clinched seven victories, seven poles, 15 podiums and 182 points. Excluding the masters era, this was a new record at the time in terms of the highest points tally in one season.
2009[]
2009 saw Kimi Raikkonen partner reigning champion Jenson Button and sticking with the Mercedes V8 engine for a 4th consecutive season. It was a strong season overall for both drivers, scoring a total of seven wins and battling with the turbo engined Shake 'n' Bake throughout the season. Ultimately however, they were no match for Lewis Hamilton and the Yorkshire team, and Tornado had to settle for 2nd. Having set a new management era record in the previous season, Tornado saw their record beaten by Shake 'n' Bake, who scored 230 points.
2010[]
Kimi Raikkonen was maintained for the 2010 season, but he had a new teammate in the form of Spaniard Fernando Alonso, who had to endure a tricky 2009 with Ajay Motorsports which resulted in him leaving the team before the final race. At Tornado however, Alonso was on top form, taking three wins in the first six races and even sharing the championship lead with Lewis Hamilton at the halfway point of the season. However, failing to finish the final four races prevented him from maintaining the championship challenge, but luckily for Tornado, Kimi Raikkonen was on hand to secure Tornado's 3rd constructors championship, their 2nd in three seasons.
2011[]
Hopes were high for the 2011 season, with Fernando Alonso being joined by the returning Mark Webber, who won the final race of 2010 with the LeBlanc team. Mercedes were once again on hand for the 6th season in a row to supply works engines for the team. Alonso was determined to win the drivers championship for the first time since 2002 when he drove for MRD, and he achieved his long awaited goal in part thanks to a very strong middle part of the season. Tornado were on course to being the first team to defend the constructors championship since Gui Racing all the way back in the 1999 and 2000 seasons, but thanks to a resurgent Lewis Hamilton and the Pedersen team, they lost out by a mere two points.
2012[]
Tornado were so impressed by Hamilton's form, they decided to pinch him off of Pedersen for 2012, and they also had promising young Aussie Daniel Ricciardo alongside the former champion. Going into the season, Tornado were seen as the favourites. This was mainly thanks to what was arguably the strongest driver lineup on the grid in a time where there was very level playing field amongst the teams. Powered by the powerful Ferrari engine, Tornado would go onto to rack up seven race wins across the season and almost 200 points. This would in the end comfortably lead the team to their 4th constructors title in the main series (5th including the classic FF1M of the 1986 season). Five wins for Hamilton resulted in him clinching his 3rd drivers championship and 35 points clear of teammate Ricciardo. Ricciardo in only his second full time FF1M season achieved two race wins in Silverstone and Hungaroring after a very impressive season in which he finished 2nd position in the standings by just one point over Nico Rosberg and a further one more ahead of Fernando Alonso, both of whom were in works engine machinery. Although Tornado were not as quick in qualifying trim compared to their Ferrari works counterparts SCM, they had a noticeably better car in race trim thanks to the qualifying power deficit being neutralised on race day.
2013[]
2013 marked another new driver line-up, an all French affair with Romain Grosjean and Jean-Eric Vergne hungry to win their first FF1M races with the reigning constructors champions. Despite a double retirement in the highly attritional Australian Grand Prix, Grosjean mastered the wet conditions of Sepang to take his maiden win, with Vergne taking advantage of a late engine failure for Lewis Hamilton to take 3rd despite shunting Nick Hulkenberg into retirement on the first lap, and sending Sergio Perez off track. Grosjean win again at Imola and Barcelona, but there were frustrations in between. At Shanghai, Grosjean made a misjudgment in rejoining the track and ripped his wheel off against Fernando Alonso, and an inter-team squabble at the Nurburgring arguably cost the team another win. Another win in the wet at Silverstone followed for Grosjean before Vergne beat Perez at Hockenheim after battling during the final laps. A second win for Vergne at Monza put Tornado on course to retain both championships, but Singapore provided heartbreak with Grosjean's gearbox failing with just five laps to go, costing him a certain win. Meanwhile, Vergne was becoming frustrated with poor fuel and tyre strategies at Singapore and COTA. Despite a brilliant win at Suzuka where Grosjean muscled past Kimi Raikkonen, after Vergne's dutiful blocking of the Finn, at the Spoon curve with just a few laps to go, a retirement plus Raikkonen winning at COTA put Grosjean and Tornado on the back foot going into the final race. What's more, Gojira looked as if they had outdeveloped Tornado in terms of car performance, and this came to a head at Interlagos, where Raikkonen dominated to win the drivers championship by 12 points and helped Gojira win the constructors by a single point. Tornado were a gutting 2nd and cited Singapore as the crucial turning point in the season.
Back to the Drawing Board (2014-Present)[]
2014[]
Vergne remained with the team in 2014 where he was joined by Mitchell stalwart Sebastien Buemi. New engine regulations saw Tornado obtain manufacturer Climax engines. At the first race however, they were in for a major shock, as both Vergne and Buemi qualified 19th and 21st. Although Vergne raced well to salvage a point, Tornado were uncompetitive until Portugal, where Vergne scored a 5th place followed by a podium finish in Monaco. Meanwhile, Buemi's return to FF1M lasted until the end of Canada, where he was replaced by Bruno Senna. The car was slowly regaining its competitiveness and Senna led at Hockenheim before making a mistake going into the Südkurve, which dropped him down to 7th come the race's end. Despite two more podium finishes, 3rd for Vergne at the Hungaroring and 3rd for Senna at Monza, Tornado experienced a series of non finishes including both drivers crashing on the second lap at Spa, Vergne losing 3rd on the last lap at Monza and Vergne being taken out by Vettel at Singapore. It was in that race where the 2014 FF2M champion, Tomas Gonzalez, made his debut in the place of Senna, and found himself leading before a collision with Lewis Hamilton sent the Argentine into a dramatic three-dimensional gyration. Despite a new front wing, Gonzalez would fail to finish due to an oil leak. He then failed to finish the following two races due to more unreliability. After many seasons challenging for championship, Tornado finished 7th in the constructors championship and failed to win a race for the first time since 2006.
2015[]
Eager to return to their championship winning ways, Fernando Alonso reunited with Tornado for 2015 to partner Gonzalez and effectively double up as a mentor. Tornado had also managed to obtain two more customers for his Climax engine in the view of more stable development, particularly on the reliability side. Despite a modest opening race with just three points courtesy of Gonzalez, Tornado were competitive and, crucially, more reliable than their nearest rivals, Shake 'n' Bake, as at Mexico City, Alonso was there to pick up the pieces after Sebastian Vettel's engine failed in the closing stages. Another win at Mugello for Alonso followed before the Spaniard found a new rival in the form of his teammate. The two had a few hairy moments at the Nurburgring on their way to a 1-2 finish, and the two would collide once again at the Hungaroring and Spa, much to the consternation of Tobias.
Heading into Silverstone, Alonso was two points behind Vettel, but Shake 'n' Bake's season dramatically fell apart, allowing Alonso to take another three wins including a dominant championship-winning drive at Sepang. Gonzalez was also on hand to take a total of five podium finishes and helped Tornado to a record-equalling seventh constructors championship. The final race of the season saw a driver swap between Alonso and Jenson Button, who had endured a dismal season and was given one last hurrah with the team he had won his championship with. However, a fairytale end wasn't meant to be as having taken the lead on the 2nd lap, his engine blew up at one third distance.
2016[]
With Alonso having already moved to Exolite, Tornado chose to sign Sergio Perez to partner Gonzalez for the 2016 season. The two had collided with each other twice at Monza during the previous season, but Tobias was convinced that the two could work together in order to maintain their championship winning formula. Despite a slow start at Melbourne where Perez collided with Grosjean and Gonzalez could only managed 7th, the Tornado came into its own at Interlagos, where Gonzalez overtook polesitter Rosberg in the opening laps and controlled the race to take his maiden win, while Perez built Tornado's points tally with 4th. The Mexican's first podium of the season came at Mugello, and it could've been the top step had it not been for an inspired Kevin Magnussen. Checo would get his moment in the following race at Aragon, where he benefitted from a collision between Gonzalez and Lewis Hamilton to take his first win of the season.
The next four races saw a total of six podiums for both drivers with Gonzalez taking four in a row, but it was Perez who won two more races at Road America and Spielberg. Going into Silverstone, both drivers were leading the drivers championship with Gonzalez holding a four point lead over his teammate. He took his first pole of the season at Silverstone, but couldn't carry the pace over into the race as he fell to 4th. It was worse for Perez as he collided with Lee going into Stowe. This race served as a bit of a turning point as Tornado became, at best, the third quickest car to FJR and Mitchell. Just one podium over the next six races was the result, a win from Perez at Monza who took advantage of Magnussen crashing out.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez's form had become erratic as he flipped Antonio Felix Da Costa at Spa, also flipped former teammate Fernando Alonso at Monza, and tapped the back of Raikkonen at Portimao. Although he still had a mathematical chance of the drivers championship, Gonzalez was sensationally dropped with four races remaining in favour of Vaino Kimminen, who had become a rare two-time FF2M champion. The change paid off as Kimminen took three podiums and a pole position, although he lost a win at Suzuka with a mistake at the Esses. As for Perez, he found himself with a shot of the championship heading into the final round, but lost out to Hamilton after hitting the wall. Despite this, Tornado had successfully defended the teams championship for the first time in their history.
2017[]
Kimminen remained with a race seat going into 2017, but he would have a tough teammate to deal with as Romain Grosjean returned to the team.

Classic History[]
1986[]
Tornado also competes in the Classic FF1M seasons. They were known as ApolloF1 for 1986, which was actually Tobias' first season in FF1M as the season was held between the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Tornado signed up Alain Prost and Stefan Johansson to drive the Brabham-BMW chassis and engine combination. Despite Prost not scoring points in the first three races, he was in his stride for the next seven, winning five races and with it, both championships.
1987[]
ApolloF1 were unable to defend either championship for the following season however, as Nigel Mansell could only manage 20 points and three podium finishes, while Rene Arnoux couldn't even manage a single point! They ended up 7th in the championship.
1988[]
ApolloF1 became Tornado for the 1988 season where they recruited Nelson Piquet and Ivan Capelli to drive the March-Megatron chassis and engine. It was a relatively modest season with just three podium finishes for Piquet and one for Capelli, and 7th in the constructors championship.
1989[]
It was all change for 1989 as Nigel Mansell rejoined the team to be partnered by Mauricio Gugelmin. Their Honda engine was one of the better engines and both drivers recorded multiple podium finishes including a win for Mansell in Monaco. Going into the final race, they were level on points with Gojira, but an inspired Ayrton Senna dominated the Australian Grand Prix to help Darkfire pinch the constructors championship. Tornado finished a close 2nd, just three points behind Darkfire.
1990[]
1990 saw just the Honda engine remain with Tornado as Alain Prost and Thierry Boutsen were brought to replace Mansell and Gugelmin. The season proved to be a masterclass with Prost winning six out of the 10 races including three grand slam results (Pole, fastest lap, and win) at Paul Ricard, Monza, and Adelaide, and with it, the drivers championship by 28 points. Boutsen also played his part with two poles and two podiums to help Tornado to the constructors championship.
1991[]
With Prost on his way to Pedersen, Tornado took a calculated gamble for 1991 by signing German newcomer Michael Schumacher, who would be partnered by Michele Alboreto. The gamble immediately paid off as Schumacher won the first race at Phoenix by more than a minute, but then it seemed to bounce back as Schumacher failed to finish the next four races due to unreliability. In the case of Mexico City and Magny-Cours, wins were lost. Alboreto then challenged for a win at Silverstone, but was overtaken on the last lap by a charging Nelson Piquet, before Schumacher bounced back by winning in Monza. Estoril however was the stuff of nightmares for Tornado as Schumacher was shunted out of 2nd place and championship contention by his own teammate, who was trying to unlap himself. Alboreto was then sacked on the spot and replaced by Andrea de Cesaris for the final two races. De Cesaris acclimatised himself well and even took a podium finish at Adelaide, which helped Tornado salvage 3rd the constructors championship.
1992[]
Prost returned to Tornado for 1992 where he was joined by Derek Warwick, who the team admitted had tension with in the past due to an incident during the 1990 British Grand Prix, but had since been resolved. Prost's return allowed the team to run customer Renault engines free of charge. Although they hindered the team's qualifying performance, Prost showed how good the car was in race trim as he took a commanding win at Barcelona despite starting 11th. However, the engine showed a noticeable lack of top end power on certain circuits, plus reliability was a question mark with engine failures preventing further points scores. The team had mastered the active suspension system during the mid-season quiz and the car became very difficult to beat in race trim. Prost took two more wins at Spa and Monza, but also lost two wins at Magny-Cours and Estoril. At the latter event, Jean Alesi had replaced Warwick and he too lost a probable win when he crashed out. A disastrous outcome at Suzuka ended Alain Prost and Tornado's championship challenges, and the team eventually finished 4th.
1993[]
Tornado nearly didn't enter 1993 due to time constraints, but they couldn't resist putting an entry in. They felt as if two wise, experienced drivers were best to tame the tricky Tornado, and in pre-season testing at Jerez, both Gerhard Berger and Riccardo Patrese showed good pace with the Austrian topping the first test. Although both were beaten by Ayrton Senna at Kyalami, a 1-2 finish at Interlagos got their season properly going, and with eight pole positions between them, they had arguably the best car on the grid. However, they also had an inconsistent car that was at times, unreliable with a total of 14 retirements, a 50% rate for the season. Nevertheless, there were a total of five wins including two for Patrese, who set a new record for most races before the first win. The Italian led the championship going into the final race at Adelaide, but was the first to fall. Berger was just two points behind, but also fell as Alessandro Zanardi and CBA Racing snatched both championships from Tornado by a single point.
1950[]
Tornado has also raced in the 1950 FF1M race at Silverstone as part of the 250th race celebration. Juan Manuel Fangio and Reg Parnell drove for the team using the Gordini chassis. Both drivers finished in the top eight with Fangio finishing in 5th place, scoring 2 points in the process.
