Grand Prix Rejects

I seem to remember Ferrari building some of their own...........just in time for the ban to come into effect.

What those were for will forever puzzle me...

Actually, Ive just discovered that if you put blu-tack on your PC monitor over those X-wings then the car, in that picture, looks pretty nippy.

That 1997 Tyrell with the X-wings. Probably great for hanging damp washing on, not so for a top line racing car. It was a bit odd, wasn't it? http://www.billzilla.org/tyrellf1.jpg It wasnt that spec I meant, the one I meant had that ugly tangle of carbon fibre sticking up from off the side pods. Mi...

You're spot on. I remember that because I remember thinking if a racing driver cant get laid without going to a prossy what chance have the rest of us got.

Thats impressive. The guy deserves a drive at USF1 just for that.

Composed of people. People who you wouldnt believe were once world champions of anything other than suspect race tactics.

Doh! I meant Hulkenberg.

Renault are people too.

So, Renault.

Right, as the driver market is almost settled.. I thought it'd be a great time to start off the DBTM predictions 2010 Mclaren 1. JB 2. LH DBTM = JB at start of season - equal terms by the end (when its too late) Mercedes 3. MS 4. NR DBTM = Rosberg before signing up for L'oreal adverts RedBull 5. SV...

And that was a shame too. Hadnt Wilson beaten Webber to the F3000 title previously?

Like BAR before them, they cursed themselves by announcing, "We can win our first race." And the whole culture of imagining themselves as the British equivalent of Ferrari, . Aaah I remember all that nonsense. They owned Silverstone 2000, bloody Jag Flags everywhere. I even bought one whi...

Man from Next catalogue

Bah! My stupid response makes no sense outide the UK and is bereft of humour within it. Let me try again.

"NELSON PIQUET JNR!!!"

maybe some of the drivers underperformed or directly were not competitive enough I think I know who you mean (Irv "cough" ine)... It probably didnt help the situation that Irvine and Johnny Herbert had a bit of a difficult relationship which all went wrong went Eddie punted Johnnys Lotus ...

Niki Lauda

I agree with you that it wont (probably) happen; the teams have rejected it as you know. I take your point that what he says and what he means are generally quite different but all the random ideas are a tack hes not taken before. I remember Flavio in 1995 suggesting the F1 races be split into two s...

Yeah but time takes its toll on all of us.

Short-cuts put into the track layout? It'll be rear oil dischargers and blades on wheels next.

Just to be clear, I wasnt complaining about Badoers profile not being updated just curious.

I think you're all being very harsh on the poor-little-rich-kid-who-never-needs-to-work-anyway.

To be fair he didnt say what he was asked to drive. Perhaps there was someone at Interlagos who needed someone to drive the grass-cutter.

It was a business model taken to a new level by the recently departed Toyota team. A stupid amount of money. A revolving door for the team principals (although they also went down the 'employ ex-drivers' route. Mr Rahal and Mr Lauda take a bow) Sometimes driver choice was questionable. A stupid amou...

She was probably sick of him trying to out-psyche her over who made the beds, . I finally understand why in the only statement of hers I've seen her, she said it was all good for him to head back. Apparently it got so bad she suspected that the pillows on his side of the bed were of a newer spec th...

Just a question about whether Luca Badoers F1 rejects profile will be updated to reflect last seasons effort?

Still gutted about that by the way. I told everyone in the office that he'd make Kimi look stupid.

Starting the old Schumacher head games already.The only thing Nico can do is say, "I don't want to be number 4 either, and the FIA gave me number 3, so eff off ". You're right but now if Nico were to do that, bizarrely, he'd look like the one being silly. Schumacher head games. Spot on. Y...

Alessandro Nannini

Good one. Nannini was a real wasted opportunity. Hows about Fabrizio Barbazza; I could never work out what happened to him. Or his hair. It was huge.

I enjoy having a sake and a chat with Taki Inoue - Id like to thank him for brightening up Hungary 1995.

Medals instead of points? Most wins not points gets the championship? And now 5 short-cuts during each race per driver? When I was much younger we had an elderly uncle (in fact he was my great-uncle) and as he progressed further into his twilight years he became quite erratic in his opinions. Nobody...
