Grand Prix Rejects

karsten

first of all the saddest news, to hear she won't be able to race anymore...

i'm honestly under the impression she made a silly move somehow... the way the car is positioned and its place make absolutely no sense to me...

might be wrong and hope to be!

karsten

i don't underestand the dynamic of it by the pictures, it makes no sense to me.

karsten

just wished to add a couple of words about the "overdrive" experience, i play GT5 a lot and i've experienced it quite often in the endurance races or during traininglaps, it usually triggers when i run on hard tires that keep their grip the same for long... yesterday i had 5 consecutive la...

karsten

are pic and vergne going to be the forgotten drivers of this year? time will tell!

jokes aside, i think i never spoted pic for a secon in the whole race

and had no clue he got a drive

No, he didn't. Berger won 10 times, 5 of those for Ferrari, Alboreto won 5 times, 3 of those for Ferrari.

Oh my! i think my memory fails me... age is marking my brain already? (looks at barrichello's picture)

karsten

Feels like the 90s. Expect Vettel to move over from Red Bull in a few years to take Ferrari back to the top... Please no. Besides, driver wise it feels more like the late 80s so Alonso = Mansell and Massa = Berger? I think it's more like Alonso = Piquet and Massa = ... um, Alboreto? Alboreto manage...

i would say Alboreto at monaco. He always had great races there despite many break ups, and scored points with innominable cars His only point of 1994 IIRC. Your right. Plus he had 3 podiums with Ferrari and a 5th (I think) with Tyrrell. Although, half his races at Monaco ended with retirement so I...

And hey, tell me one reasons WHY F1 needs italians? I mean, the fans in Italy are more likely to cheer a foreigner in a Ferrari than an Italian in any other car. Not true. And most people has been complaining for the lack of italian drivers in Ferrari for long. but nowaday Ferrari is more about sel...

karsten

I for one wasn't surprised one bit. After all, Italian presence in F1 has been on life support since Alboreto (or Patrese if you count a "guy in a winning car yet contractually not allowed to win" as a presence). Trulli and Fisichella are the only noteworthy Italians in 20 years, and neit...

Jarno, despite his moany-boots reputation, being nothing but a gentleman about his dismissal. Jarno got quite a bad reputation abroad for moaning, but i never heard him moaning on italian tv... Also all his complains were usually in a positive fashion, like "we had this and that, we tried this...

karsten

and i guess the last italian fighting for something or relevance in WC was Alboreto...

karsten

Sadly seems there's no place for Italy beside Ferrari in F1... The time of the many italian constructors vanished and so the many talents growing. bye bye minardi, alfa, dallara, lambo, coloni, osella, scuderia italia, Life, andrea moda... (degrading order is chosen on purpouse ) and all the talente...

karsten

Never happened in the last 40 years, and only 3 times since f1 exists...

i feel a little sad.

karsten

This is just a test i made for fun... Hope is withing the rules and all people will enjoy it! I just took the F1-rejects articles of Amon and Andrea Moda and formatted and converted in a suitable format usable by e-book readers like the amazon kindle... This is just a test, so there might be some er...

Mostly comments on tv before Senna's death. there were talk of a stop already after barrichello's crash, due to imola's long string of dangerous crashes.

I was at imola one year before. And i'm glad i wasn't there on that week-end...

karsten

I always say that it's the other way around actually. Would Ratzenberger be remembered if Senna hadn't been killed the next day? I believe he would be less remembered, not more. Mrs Coops was surprised that, after Roland was killed, the race went ahead the next day. I told her that, sadly, had it b...

So here we are. Andrea de Adamich: "...yes and we are at the beginning of the official Qualifying session, but Patricia is in the pit with someone." Patricia Pilchard, Italia Uno's pits reporter: "Yes, I am chasing Giovanna Amati we have held here for a while... and let me say that s...

concerning the Giat Crab part, that is the role of the Monster who takes it all/greedy evil corporation (usually connected with sony. i.e. Sony is the giant crab for ps3 possessors

)

karsten

i started not liking him much after the overly religious remarks from the last year.

still i hope he can manage a comeback.

karsten

i like the up on minimum weight... i hope they can do something against aerodinamics being too important too.

karsten

didn't ruin the film but made it incredibly "flat" and took out a lot of ayrton's character. Berger was fundamental in senna's life and afterlife. they should have shown berger's win at hockeneim, and they should have mentioned senna having on his body an austrian flag to commemorate ratze...

karsten

wow where did you find a picture of me with my fancy helmet?

karsten

pantano. i know he was around but was completely transparent to me.

I've gotten that for a week. I'm trying to fix it.

i don't think prost was pictured that badly.

he was just like that more "pratical" than "heroic" in his way of driving.

karsten

well that was not the tribute i tought about

karsten

Mine would be a clear tribute. (easy to spot?)

Post your fictional designs!

karsten

i apologize... i guess i missed the previous thread

karsten

i just got the chance to see it and i'm extremely disappointed by how they forgot berger's apport and friendship to the great champion. he would have been less of a man without such friendship. they also didn't mention senna having an austrian flag on his body at imola 94 and berger's tribute at hoc...

at O:51 you can see a proper shot of the W12 engine!

i tought it to be a sex vid scandal. seems it's not so, then it's not interesting

karsten

i have for long wondered if the F92A was actually inside regulations

beside it being an ineffective design i don't think it would have been within rulements...

this is the reason i made that pic up

1st place: the **** scared guy trying to get back car's pieces... was he a track steward or anything? he wasn't properly dressed and didn't even remotely had a clue on how to behave 2nd place: Hamilton and vettel 'nuff said 3rd place: race control waiting for 4 laps when the track was basically dry....

karsten

good to have been useful

karsten

Perez the new Tuero? let's hope not!

also DLR is getting lots of unexpected chances in the last times...
