Grand Prix Rejects

is anyone from F1 Rejects Listener Land at the 6 hours of Spa on the 2/3 of May ? does Eric van de Poele still race (or more precisely: win) there? btw I am a Swiss, temporarily working for a Liechtenstein bank in Luxemburg - how much more european microstate can you get ? I am so disappointed that ...

I remember being sick some years ago and wondering "what to do with all the time at hand"? I found two things, which I think are great and I think they're both gone now... - the F1 Rejects podcast, letting me know that I'm a) not the only one who cares for the back of the grid and b) Minar...

He wasn't very pleased about it afterwards

I'd like 86, too.

car-wise, I'd like
1. Minardi
2. AGS
3. Arrows

the Osella hates me and I hate the Zakspeed, so they're not on my list

Just how fantastic do those Mercs sound?

this would be much cooler if it were still like in the late 80ies (btw, what wouldn't?) and the Safety Cars would still be Renault 9, Fiat Ritmos and the likes.

europeanminardi

well, that's an easy one:
- Andrea de Cesaris
- Luciano Burti
- Philippe Alliot

there would hardly be any penalties all year...

how about Phoenix as season opener

?

I can't remember a dull race at Melbourne, so it's perfect they run there, first. And the season finale should be at Adelaide.

europeanminardi

I predict Alonso or Vettel for World Champion, Ferrari or Red Bull winning the constructor's. The small teams will have no chance to even score a point and Renault will gradually drop back (to where "Team hedgefund F1" belongs. Here's what I'm hoping for, though: - points for Lotus (Malayi...

couldn't they test at some Australian track? it's just amazing how amateurish HRT looks in these highly professional times. we must cherish their existence as long as they're out there. won't be long, I fear... is Liuzzi (I hate the guy's guts, btw) officially confirmed now? that would really hamper...

(me being Swiss and there being no pre-qualifying - let's forget about 107%) how about an Eurobrun-Ilmor? but the Ilmor engine would of course have to be prepared by Heini Mader. sponsorship by Landis & Gyr, driven by Délétraz and Foitek. wow! and all this with a swiss-cheese-like livery. at the...

basically anytime a Ferrari has an accident or a technical problem. I started watching F1 in the mid 90ies, but became a fan only during the pre-season 2002. seing a Ferrari DNF at the time was a rare sight... apart from that: 1. when I realised that Minardi are no reject team and that there were ye...

well, do we have a choice?
I've listened to the F1R-podcast at least three times each. More can't be good for what's left of my mental health.
so we need other podcast to fill the loooooong breaks, sadly.

europeanminardi

It is a great podcast - if only because it involves Nigel Roebuck - the greatest F1 author of all time IMHO. I have a subscription to their magazine, it's always a great read. I used to think that Nigel is the man until I realised that he is f-ing critic of the small teams (listen to/read their 201...

yes, thinking that is heavy on my conscience.

I agree, Bernie does the job for his bosses at CVC. But in the long term, F1 will need to move somewhat back, closer to the fans. F1 has become more and more elitist, small teams being a nuisance rather than an important part of the game. What Bernie forgets when he talks about money and how awful t...

why do so many people want Tonio back in F1? he's got his chances. he has done nothing but robbing Christian Klien's seat at Red Bull (yes, I am a disgruntled Klien-supporter). what has Liuzzi accomplished in F1? nothing! no wins, no podiums, niente. I think the honour of being ROTY 2010 is the most...

Any other requests? I don't know about everyone else, but I am hacked off with us starting the championship in Bahrain. Whilst I am at it - bring back Adelaide at the end of the season! Or start the season there. So conspiracy theorists stand up. The entire Middle East unrest has in fact been orche...

First of all, to the arab and middle-east leaders: you are getting what you deserve, may your peoples tear you down from your ursurped thrones! Second, dear Bernie, the clock is ticking for you, too. There's a good chance you will be sentenced for fraud and corruption by German courts upon the sale ...

Ok, how 'bout this one:

"Team Lotus Renault by Hedgefund" look for a driver.
Lotus sponsors an IRL car in the US - Takuma Sato-san's.

BRING BACK TAKUUUUUU!!!!

he certainly is experienced and it will be interesting to see who manages more crashes

Seriously, I want Takuma back.

sorry for taking a shortcut there

I read news that the only shares to be sold are a vast majority of Patrick Head's shares, the company NOT issuing any new shares. Basically, the money thus will end in Mr Head's hands, not in the team's. I think this only makes sense to cover Williams from unfriendly takeovers. It's easier to buy ou...
