YMMV / Formula Earth

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Many characters, both fictonal and existing, became this:
  • Nico Hulkenberg ended up scoring a podium at last in F1/FE.
  • Ivan Marincic became the biggest talent of his generation until his untimely death
  • Kevin Magnussen and Alexander Albon would eventually become notable David Versus Goliath drivers.
  • Zdenek Suchanek, the main pundit, is this for his Brutal Honesty regarding questionable team owners.
  • His FI subordinate, Chaim Goldstein, is also this for his hyperactive behaviour and hot-blooded nature.
  • Vedad Muharrem Hadziefendic became a fan favourite thanks to his behaviour being the exact opposite of that of a typical Balkan person, as well as for his misadventures in Bosnia.
  • Virtually the entirety of HSBC Nero and especially the team's CEO, Alana Watson, is this due to being a team that is notoriously unorthodox compared to the rest of the paddock.
  • Mykola Holubets became this due to his love of chess and borscht as well as for his laid-back and friendly personality.
  • Sebastian Lindgren and his wife Cyrille became known for their Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl dynamic.
  • Buzz Hahn became this thanks to his Cloud Cuckoo Lander behavior and rapid speed.
  • However, the biggest one of the bunch is none other than Breakout Character Jasmine Estrella, whose memetic usage of emojis and All-Loving Hero nature made her the most well-known character of the paddock,
• Game-Breaker:
  • Scouting was considered the most problematic element of gameplay, as it allowed team owners to find out hidden gems with relative ease since it revealed an average result of ability and potential. It has been since nerfed to being an one-make race.
  • Driver academies, an exclusive to FE teams, were also considered this as drivers assigned to them could develop at a faster rate and teams could stack top drivers and also prevent them from being picked in the draft. They were removed alltogether after being deemed too problematic.
• Memetic Mutation: As an alternate timeline of F1 with many surreal elements, it is not a surprise that countless isnide jokes have been generated:
  • Virtually most stuff Jasmine Estrella, the Breakout Character of the series has done:
    • Jasmoji: Jasmine includes emojis at the end of every sentence in her twitter posts. People believe that she really speaks in emoji language.
    • Madsmine: Her relationship with Indy Car star Madison Ojeda, with the latter buying her an emoji pillow.
    • Madame Watson: When Jasmine joined HSBC Nero on loan in FE, this is how she referred to Alana Watson, the team's CEO.
    • Hated in Venezuela: The absolutely infuriating move of G2 CEO Ness Muller sacking Miguel Larrazabal, the team's star driver, and keeping Estrella on a lucrative contract has made people jokingly suggest that she is the most hated driver in Venezuela.
  • fluke: Speaking on the aforementioned topic, the basis of Muller sacking Larazzabal is the fact that he considered his results a fluke, in his words. Needless to say the backlash he received was massive.
  • Kevin Voavy does not exist: Kevin Voavy, once considered a future star, became immediately one of the most hated drivers in the paddock when he took down Larrazabal, thus making the Campos team go out of business. He has been given the Un-person treatment by the paddock.
  • Cyrille Lavigne, Sebastian Lindgren's wife, has also been a massive meme for her lustful personality and odd tweets.
  • Vefather: Cult hero and FE champion Vedad Muharrem Hadziefendic has been given this moniker when he married his fiancee.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Toto Wolff rigging the 2028 Dutch GP to give Mercedes an 1-2 victory in the name of Ivan Marincic just one race after his death.
  • Alejandro Agag and the Red Bull TP sabotaged the Ferrari cars in the last two races of the 2042 season by tampering with the electronics, a move that could potentially outright kill the Ferrari drivers.
