2034 Formula One World Championship (Checkered's Universe)

The 2034 FIA Formula One World Championship was a motor racing championship for Formula One cars. This was the 85th running of the Formula One World Championship. It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship contested over twenty-three races around the world. It began in March and ended in November.
Drivers and teams competed for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively. The reigning drivers' world champion, Liam Lawson was unable to defend his title as Yuki Tsunoda was able to win it. The reigning constructors' world champions of Aston Martin were able to defend their title with ease as both drivers delivered while Mercedes, Red Bull, and Ferrari lacked behind with only 1 driver per team really performing well.
This season is well known for the horrific crash of Charles Leclerc in the FP2 Session at the season opener Australian Grand Prix. The 3 time World Champion of 2030, 2031, and 2032 lost his brakes entering the first turn and hopped over the curb at a blazing speed, the car went into the air and flipped over in spectacular fashion a total of 10 times upon reaching the barriers in which the car landed on. The 36 year old Monacan driver was in critical condition at the scene and would miss the entire season. He was expected to return for the season finale but didn't for disclosed reasons. Pierre Gasly, who is the oldest driver on the grid, has spent his last 8 years with Alfa Romeo Haas and has scored a few podiums and 2 wins, was chosen by Ferrari to replace Leclerc for the entire season. Gasly said; "It's a huge chance for me to prove myself, I mean Ferrari are top 3 right now I reckon with Red Bull and Aston Martin, I feel as if I can win this championship." Gasly's place at Haas was taken over by Christian Costoya, the phenom 24 year old looking to make a name for himself.
