    Minigirl

She is a starter in F1. Minor character, debuted in 2012.

  • Berserk Button: When something's stopping her from doing her job. Felipe Massa got the idea.
  • Custom Uniform: She wears fuchsia gloves, shoes, and helmet complete with a bow on top.
    • Notably, she is the only busty female Mini while other female drivers/bikers have been drawn with default body type.
  • Pit Girls: Kind of. Ever since her debut, her main duty is to give the drivers/bikers the go signal.

    Dark Mini

The Big Bad apparent of the series, Dark Mini is the series' resident bad luck bringer and sometimes prankster.


  • The Dragon: in 2017, Dark Mini was revealed to be working for Bernie Ecclestone, former owner of F1.
  • The Gadfly: Part and parcel of his job.
  • Hidden Villain: No one knows his identity before the season finale. You're allowed to guess, though!
  • The Nth Doctor: Dark Mini's identity changes per season depending on real life situations. So far they have been: Taki Inoue (2012), Andrea de Cesaris (2013), Mark Webber (2014), Casey Stoner (2015), Takuma Sato (2016), Niki Lauda (2017), Robert Kubica and Danill Kvyat (2018), Dani Pedrosa (2019), Mick Schumacher and Luca Marini (2020),
2008 Lewis Hamilton (2021), Mika Hakkinen (2022) and Jos Verstappen (2023)
  • The Obstructive Love Interest: One Mini What If episode introduces a female Dark Mini that ultimately ends up embodying this trope. With a boulder to boot.
  • Revenge: Most notably, Mark Webber, revealed in 2014 after ex-teammate Sebastian Vettel failed to win the F1 Driver's Championship crown.
  • Time Travel: In the end of 2013 the 2012 Dark Mini, Taki Inoue, traveled to 1993 to take Andrea de Cesaris in 2013 and make him the 2013 Dark Mini, completely changing the history.
    • In the end of 2015, Casey Stoner travels to 2007 for unknown reasons, but later comes back and gets revealed.
  • Vocal Evolution: Dark Mini used to speak in the same pitch as most characters, but as of the past few years Adaco has made this character's voice distinctly lower.
     Mini Bob 
A commentator who calls the races along with Dark Mini


  • Cuckoolander Commentator: Openly cheers on Fernando Alonso (despite the fact that commentators are supposed to be impartial) and tends to faint when races get too exciting.
