Grand Prix Rejects

Race direction : I know, I know, they are not driving, but if you told me such a race wouldn't have any red flags, any SCs, not even any VSCs - I wouldn't have believed you. It was like watching a race from the 90s again. It shows it can be done, and it's fine, as it was for years (after Senna's de...

Lance Stroll - considering I thought he wouldn't race after his struggles in FP2, there can't be any other choice. Although he came this close to becoming ROTR instead. Logan Sargeant - I was expecting a Latifiesque performance from him, but he ran Albon pretty close and didn't put a foot wrong. Pl...

Race strategists -by lap 25, my grandma could see that soft/medium and medium/soft were viable, but some people took on hards anyway. Hello Alpine, Alfa Romeo, and of course Mercedes. 20+ races seasons -16 is ideal. I can live with 18. 20 and over is too much. We'll get more and more of those "...

Fernando Alonso!!!

Why did you have to overtake George, mate? What does a point mean for you at the grand age of 40?

Only half-joking

One of the easiest in a while

1. Pirelli
2. Lewis Hamilton

The best tribute I can pay to Murray, whom I only knew years after he retired, is the following: I've recently passed my C1 level English examination, with flying colours: in fact, Cambridge says that my level of ability is equal to a C2 (the highest one you can obtain). I'm certain that a non-insig...

I've just read about this on Autosport and had to login here to post...

Yeah, exactly that...

Sorry, it's coming... you know it's coming...

THAT'S WHAT DELETRAZ WAS DOING!!!

Hi all,

Having a wife, a kid and a job has definitely taken a toll on my activity on these forums, but I'm happy to see that the amount of postings seems to have gone up since the last time I was around.

So, hi everyone

McLaren-Honda are shaping up well for the 2017 ROTY.

I've just logged in to celebrate that I can finally change my signature, after so many years.

Cheers, guys.

Long. Overdue. Update. For quickness, I will only make the breakdown for the number of wins, 2nd and 3rd places of every driver, the best result (in case of a driver with no podium finishes), and wherever a tie-breaker is needed. 2015 (Final Standings) Nico Rosberg 403 (15 wins, 1 2nd) Valtteri Bott...

It's about high time I update this... 2015 (after 10 races) Nico Rosberg 235 (9 wins, 1 5th) Felipe Massa 127 (4 2nds, 3 3rds, 1 7th, 1 8th) Valtteri Bottas 120 (4 2nds, 3 3rds, 1 9th, 1 10th) Daniel Ricciardo 91 (1 2nd, 2 3rds, 2 4ths, 1 6th, 1 7th, 1 8th, 1 10th) Daniil Kvyat 86 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 4...

I'm sure I never asked this here. What if 2007 European/German GP was red-flagged permanently on that point which was Markus Winkelhock on the lead? What if Winkelhock's gamble on restart works again for 2nd time? What if Winkelhock really won that race? What if the race had never been black-flagge...

After last week's events, the first new article on the site must be Bianchi's.

Just coming up to pay my respects. RIP Jules. As for the speculations about Jules and Ferrari: I sharply remember reading a short interview with him, the Thursday before the Japanese GP, on his chances to move up (at the time there was a lot of speculation, with Alonso trying to leave and Vettel sti...

BTW, the old f1rejects.com domain seems to have expired, but it's still linked to Crosswinds, or something like that. I guess we should do something to avoid it from being used (I would register it, but it looks like it's not publicly available either).

And I renew my calls for Bernie to go home. He's like a decade late by now.

I will make an honorable mention to the TV Director. I thought he picked up most of the action, not hesitating to go down to cover the last places already in the early laps.

Changing income distribution among teams, reducing track fees and the percentage of income that its taken away from the sport to something like 10-20% (which is still a lot) instead of almost 50%, and allowing more people to watch the races on free-to-air TV might be valid solutions. Instead they ke...

I agree on that, and I think HRT and Virgin/Marussia/Manor are also one and the same.

I don't think you have to write race reviews, and I don't think you should have five different race reviews published either. But it would be great if we had five race review submissions for Melbourne! If you, or the community, likes all of them, we could establish a rotation system or something. At...

ROTY candidate or choosing-the-ROTY candidate?

Good morning all, I will give my two cents here. With the main site being so bare at the moment, I think the top priority should be getting new content. If we end up with a situation that looks messy - that's better than having nothing at all because we haven't been able to agree on who should do wh...

Couldn't have summed it up better.

I suppose work life and having moved home to live with my girlfriend and soon-to-be wife hasn't done any wonders for my interest in the sport, though.

And as much as he's in a precarious condition now, I think it's fair to remember what he did on track for what it was, both the good and the bad.

I was going to post exactly the same as the thread opener. In fact I've came here because of it. **** ***, Bernie. I've been asking for his resignation for years now, but it is getting old. You can't blame the man for saying stupid things, he's 84 after all, but you can and should blame him for stay...

Come on, you know that if things were business as usual, Pérez would be the ROTR for this one.

Which leads me to the question: how are we going to determine the "official" ROTR from now on?

Ferrim

Will all due respect, how anyone could say Senna wasn't popular before the film is beyond me.

I remember when everyone was talking about an F1 split. At this rate, I could see it happening. Someone create a series called "GP1", set a reasonable budget cap, and I'd be up for watching that. I believe a certain Mr. E, whose resignation I've been asking for in my signature for years, ...

I've just logged in to nominate the current state of F1. I see you've overtaken me about it. If strong measures aren't introduced soon, or if they are on the line of third cars, customer cars and the like, and no serious thinking goes into the business model, this might well be the point of no retur...

It's telling that the statement doesn't affirm their intention to keep supporting the team as much as they can, or that they will go down all the road to stop Fernandes' people interfering in order to protect their investment, or whatever.

I don't know how relevant this is, but Kuwashima has been online a few hours ago. I wonder why he hasn't told us anything.
