Grand Prix Rejects

RIP; literally the last of a breed

RIP J-P B. One of the first races I ever saw "live" (F2) had him, Servoz-Gavin & Ickx in Matras, giving some big names something to think about. I always think of them together and now only Jacky is left. (Ickx won and his successful career began then really).

Don't have a great deal of faith in Benson either, but hoping he's right about this.

A good opportunity for Stevens, because I doubt he will ever get a second grand prix start.

He may not get a first...

I need to read this on Autosport or Motorsport in order to truly believe Alice Powell possibly being in the car for Abu Dhabi. Update: Racing or First Practice? I'm a bit confused. m At first, I was confused and was asking myself how on earth she would qualify for a Superlicence, so I guess from re...

Now it has been confirmed, Marussia has entered administration according to Sky Sports F1 news. No information on redundancies, they will miss the U.S gp, no confirmation on Brazil yet. Cars from Austin will go directly to Brazil, so if Marussia don't catch the "Bernie Air" flight to Texa...

It seems likely that Marussia will miss Brazil as well.

JEV for that early overtake.

Here's what Gary Hartstein has to say by way of explanation of the injury. Not comfortable reading.

Newey's taking a back seat this season?...will he also depart now?... possibly to Ferrari...... when the music stops.......

Will STR re-sign Vergne after all?

eagleash

Kyvat to RB, Vettel to Ferrari, Nando to Macca, Button retiring?

eagleash

Vergne
Massa. (tyres)

eagleash

Prost turned in by the look of it.

eagleash

Heck!! Both OK it seems.

The chicanes do seem very tight.

Surprised ITV didn't go to an ad-break during the SC

In addition to Luca de M leaving I have seen reported that the Finance Director at Santander has passed away; apparently very pro F1, Ferrari & Alonso so there may yet be further upheaval at Ferrari.

I thought they just moved him out of IC & into rehab.....could be wrong about that though.

There are reports on Twitter from Alan Baldwin (Reuters) & re-tweeted by Maurice Hamilton that Michael is now able to go home where his rehabilitation will continue. Original tweet quotes Sabine Kehm as saying still a very long way to go.

Kvyat... save of the season

Ricciardo......not all that improbable really....

b. 26 October 1942, competed in just one GP for Ferrari in 1967 (MEX), at a time when the team was in poor shape following the loss of Lorenzo Bandini. Finished 8th scoring no points.

In my opinion, Bottas winning the title would be most epic, but as he has exactly half the points of Rosberg (220 v. 110), I would have to say that's unlikely. I was undecided between Lewis and Nico earlier in the year, but now Daniel is looking like a better option (despite the fact that I despise...

For anyone old enough to remember when rallying was something other than short blasts on special stages, the first WRC (1979), who also competed in the 1960s & right up till 1990, Bjorn Waldegard has passed away at age just 70. He had been suffering from cancer.

He's been there for years and has never had any other problems with a team-mate in his career. This is true. It's also interesting that Alonso has otherwise been pretty laid-back throughout his career too, except in 2007. Absolutely, the respective behaviour of ALO & HAM since 2007 has been com...

The only thing I'm going to say is that 24 hours ago I was looking forward to two drivers having an epic battle on track for the win. 24 hours later, they both crash into each other on lap 2, the Mercedes management have committed suicide and a massive conspiracy has bubbled up. I don't know who th...

Max Verstappen is...taking JEV's Toro Rosso seat?! If this is legit, well, yeah. I'm speechless. What happens to Sainz Jr and Lynn? Will Buxton's take on things It's harsh on JEV, (unless he has something else lined up &/or I've missed it). But then they did the same to Buemi & The Saurus w...

This was reported by a UK "broadsheet" a couple of days ago, but their only source was a German celebrity type magazine. Some reports cite Michaels's management team or family, but I've yet to see anything to confirm this. Lets hope the reports are correct & not just another rumour tha...

Max Chilton : That was 100% your fault mate and you yourself ruined your perfect record. I'm sorry but even being the demigod of the forum can't save you from that. What made it worse was that he blamed Bianchi for it. He was completely blameless mate. Did he seriously do that? Someone's mentioned ...

Well, it's 5 months exactly since that fateful day in France, and there's been no news at all for about a month. No real updates from Sabine Kehm. Even Gary Hartstein's stopped blogging about Schumi and his condition. I fear it's looking increasingly likely he's gonna be in a vegetative state for t...

I think it was at Barcelona where Nico's body language & demeanour on the podium was briefly reminiscent of Gilles at Imola '82. Gloves came off thenabouts I reckon. & if Nico, for all his perceived "gentle" personality, has inherited even half his Dad's mettle, it should be an int...

RIP Sir Jack, not my favourite driver of the 60s by any means, he wasn't known as "Black Jack" for no reason. He had a reputation as uncompromising at least on track. Main memories would be him sliding into the barriers at the very last corner at Monaco 1970, handing the race to Rindt's Lo...
