In 30 October 2021, around 4 AM, I've released my first GRUB theme, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team GRUB Theme.
Later on, a few people around the Internet, especially from Reddit, asked about other teams. So I decided to write GRUB themes for all 10 teams of 2021 Formula One World Championship.
GRUB is a bootloader commonly used in GNU/Linux operating systems. A bootloader is simply a program that finds and boots up your operating system. An operating system is a program that allows you to interact with your computer (For example: GNU/Linux, MacOS, Windows). A computer is... You know...

These are my first GRUB themes and I'm sure it needs a lot of improvement. I've tested this theme with Ubuntu 20.04 in 1920x1080 resolution. Feel free to create issues and PR's.

This project is not affiliated with Formula 1 or any Formula 1 team in any way.
As a fan, I've wanted to create a GRUB theme for myself and then share it with the world for free (as in freedom).
Some pointless (😏) time-pass at the end of the season: How would the standings look at the end if points and championships were handed out like in MotoGP?
MotoGP points system
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 25 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 16 |
| 4 | 13 |
| 5 | 11 |
| 6 | 10 |
| 7 | 9 |
| 8 | 8 |
| 9 | 7 |
| 10 | 6 |
| 11 | 5 |
| 12 | 4 |
| 13 | 3 |
| 14 | 2 |
| 15 | 1 |
Additional Rules
- A driver must take the chequered flag to receive points. Therefore, drivers who retire after 90% of race completion cannot receive points.
- In case of race interruption, a minimum of 5 laps have to be completed before a result can be declared and points can be handed out.
Summary
- Hamilton wins the title by two points
- Carlos Sainz nabs fourth place by one point
- Alfa Romeo finishes comfortably ahead of Williams
- Robert Kubica maintains his position ahead of Nikia Mazepin
- Ferrari is the only Power-Unit to not win a single race
- Horner furiously dials Masi to prove that Red Bull deserves to be best independent team
Caveat: Given the situation of the points gap under this system, it's very likely the FIA may not have officiated the way they did in the final two races. However, this possibility, including all other side-effects are ignored.

Nicholas Latifi will win the 2022 Formula One World Drivers’ Championship. He is able to set substantially quick lap times in qualifying sessions. In the qualifying session of the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, he managed to qualify in 12th place overall. He obtained this position in a Williams FW43 car, which had a decreased performance compared to other cars of the grid. This ability to perform well in qualifying allows him to start races further up the grid, increasing the chance of obtaining points. Furthermore, Latifi possesses excellent racecraft abilities. In the race of the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix, Latifi started 18th, but he managed to create many overtakes and finish in 7th place. The ability to overtake and defend is a crucial skill in races and is extremely helpful in gathering points. In addition, Latifi is able to yield a considerable amount of wealth for Williams Racing. Latifi’s father is exceptionally wealthy, and is easily able to fund the team. With more wealth, the team is able to enhance the performance of Latifi’s car, allowing it to become more competitive with other cars. Nicholas Latifi is an especially likely contender for the 2022 Formula One World Drivers’ Championship title.
