2011 Alternate Formula One season

2011 Alternate Formula One
Previous: 2010	Next: 2012

The 2011 Formula One season was the 62nd Formula One season, and was the second season run after the RWRS breakaway series was established. The World Drivers Championship was won by Robert Kubica and the World Constructors Championship was won by Ferrari. The season saw Hyundai join the manufacturer ranks, as HRT pulled out of the sport. Reigning champion Daniel Melrose did not return for the beginning of the season and appeared only at the Monaco Grands Prix and the first Brazilian Grand Prix before replacing James James Davies full-time for the last six races, a few weeks after his F1RWRS title challenge was unsuccessful.
