I’m fairly new to F1 and was wondering if a Scottish driver could choose to represent Scotland and have Flower of Scotland as their anthem on the podium?

hahahahahha to ? with his Ayr Toon Centre…  that did make me laugh.
Couldn’t see David Coulthard’s name mentioned so thought I’d add it.

There have been any number of Scottish F1 drivers over the years, some more successful than others but as at this moment Scotland (Wales, N.Ireland and England) are all part of the UK, they represent the UK.   And why not!

Winning British drivers have the British National Anthem played, along with the Nationality of their Team when the trophies are being handed out, on the podium.

There have been many Scottish F1 drivers, and several drivers named after Scottish towns.
They are STIRLING Moss
Johnny DUMFRIES
and Ayr Toon Centre.

i think if they were determined to do so, then yeah, what they going to do, ban them?,  i don’t think so…
to the ignoramus  who says they don’t have int teams in f1   , yeah we know, but nobody is telling me they don’t play winners national anthem after every race as well as thier teams constructor nationality…

F1 does not have national teams. Who told you they did.? They have ‘international’ drivers,
and ‘constructors’ teams. i.e. Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren etc.

Answer 6

There have been several F1 drivers of Scottish extraction who have all been considered British by default, although many did have the Saltire and/or clan tartan represented somewhere on their kit.
It’s possible they may request of the FIA to be listed as Scottish rather than British and have the Saltire flown above the podium, but whether the FIA would agree is a different matter.

Answer 7

I don’t think so, I believe they would need to have the British national anthem

What our team says

Could a Scottish F1 driver represent Scotland instead of the UK?

There is a lot of discussion surrounding the British Grand Prix this year, with some people arguing that Scotland should be given the opportunity to host the race instead. Scotland has a rich history in motor racing, with drivers like Jackie Stewart representing the country internationally. With F1 now being considered a global sport, it’s arguable that Scotland is ideally situated to host a race. So could we see a Scottish driver representing Scotland in future Grand Prix races?

Why is the Scottish F1 driver a potential star?

The Scottish F1 driver, Stoffel Vandoorne, is a potential star. He has recently shown great potential in the Formula One circuit, and his performances have caught the attention of many people.

Vandoorne was born in Belgium but has represented Scotland in international racing. He is a talented driver and has a lot to offer the Scottish fans. He is also eligible to represent Scotland in Formula One because he has a British passport.

If he continues to perform well, Vandoorne could be the next big thing in Formula One. He could represent Scotland instead of the UK, and he would be an excellent ambassador for Scotland. He would also help to raise the profile of Formula One in Scotland.

Could a Scottish F1 driver represent Scotland instead of the UK?

There has been a lot of discussion recently about whether or not a Scottish F1 driver should represent Scotland in Formula One, rather than the UK. The reason for this is because Scotland has its own set of rules and regulations that are different to those in the UK.

This issue has come up because of the planned merge between F1 and WEC, which is a series of races held in Europe. At present, the three drivers who compete in both series – Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Fernando Alonso – are all from the UK.

If the merger goes ahead as planned, it is likely that these drivers will all switch to representing England instead of Scotland. This could lead to a loss of prestige for Scottish drivers, who would no longer be able to compete on an equal footing with their English counterparts.

There are several arguments for and against the idea of a Scottish F1 driver representing Scotland instead of the UK. On the one hand, it would be great to see more Scots represented in one of the world’s most prestigious motorsport series. On the other hand, it is possible that this could lead to a loss of prestige for Scottish drivers. It is important to consider all of the implications

What is in the driver’s favour?

The driver of a Scottish F driver has many advantages over a UK driver when it comes to driving in Scotland. For starters, the speed limit in Scotland is lower than the speed limit in the UK, which means that a Scottish F driver can drive faster than a UK driver.

Another advantage that the Scottish F driver has over the UK driver is that the licence requirements are different for each country. In the UK, drivers need a full UK licence to drive a Scottish F car. However, in Scotland, a Scottish F driver only needs a valid driving licence from their home country. This means that a Scottish F driver can easily get a driving licence in Scotland if they live there.

Last but not least, the infrastructure in Scotland is much better than the infrastructure in the UK. This means that Scotian F drivers will have no trouble finding places to drive their cars.

What is in the driver’s shadow?

As a driver in Scotland, you are subject to the laws of the UK. This means that, if you were to drive a car in Scotland, your driving would be governed by the UK’s driving laws. However, there is one important exception – if you are a driver in Scotland who is registered to drive a car in the Scottish F1 championship, your driving would be governed by the rules of the Scottish F1 championship.

This exception has arisen because, as a driver in the Scottish F1 championship, you are not subject to the driving laws of any other country. This means that you are free to drive as fast as you like and race against any other drivers from around the world. This is something that is very unique about the Scottish F1 championship – it represents Scotland instead of the UK.

Conclusion

There have been a number of recent headlines questioning whether or not a Scottish F1 driver should represent the UK instead of Scotland in Formula One. This is due to Brexit and the potential ramifications it may have on the sport. Currently, both the UK and Scotland are members of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile), which is responsible for overseeing Formula One. However, if Brexit goes ahead and Britain leaves the EU, then it is likely that all of its member states will be forced to leave as well. This could mean that Scotland would no longer be a part of Formula One, which would lead to questions about who should represent Britain in this highly competitive motorsport league.
