Grand Prix Rejects

Pironi-Villeneuve, Imola 1982. That's all I have to say. I was there and attended a Ferrari dinner on the Sunday night, which the drivers didn't turn up to. I thought of that as well. We have to hope that its not going to be a repeat of that history. Maybe, Prost-Senna or Jones-Reutmann instead. Bu...

Just shows that Bernie is getting so senile that he has forgotten that confidential discussions are, well, confidential.

Rosberg - Quicker than Lewis?? Or certainly just as quick. When Nico beat Schumi, we all thought Schumi is getting old. But Nico is making a good case that he has been very underated.

Ross Prawn

It has to be Alonso.Massive mistake by him or the team, it was obvious that the wing was going to come off. What were they thinking? And totally out of character for Alonso. Thats how championships are lost. Oh and Maldonado, who is obviously on a mission to visit every gravel trap at every circuit.

Perhaps you should investigate how many times Mark's car has developed a mysterious glitch when it looked he might have half a chance of beating Seb into the first corner.

1. Pastor Maldonado - After praising the car in pre-season testing as a big step forward , got beaten by his rookie team-mate in qualifying and although wasn't having a bad race he did became the only one to retire due to driving error. Finally and most importantly, in the end of the race he says t...

Haven't they rather dropped Paddy Lowe in the s**t over the last few days. They've obviously had some firm dialogue with him about a senior position at Mercedes. But it now looks like Ross is set to stay in place and that Paddy is being considered as a long term sucession alternative. I imagine Ron ...

I don't think that taking the fight to Fernando is in his job description.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/103560 so "Spank them hard" says Max.. effectively Nice to see Max has been let out of his padded cell. Its worth remembering that his more confrontational approach led to Max effectively being forced out of his job by the teams. So it wasn't a ...

1st - The media for their disgusting behaviour towards Grosjean . Grosjean needs to sort himself out, I agree, but this sort of thing is absolutely unacceptable. I can understand Webber being angry, considering he was the victim and that, but everyone else needs to know their damn role. I never saw...

Only if he doesn't get the second Ferrari seat

Ross Prawn

It wasn't that Perez did not have the experience for Ferrari. He was too quick for Ferrari, or to be more specific, Alonso. The last thing Ferrrari needed was new Alonso/Hamilton experience to destabilise the best driver in the world at the moment. In contrast Jenson has a bit more maturity to handl...

Ross Prawn

Fan-bathplugging-tastic! I bet there must be a deafening silence in the board room in Marenello... There will be a bigger silence next season when Perez beats Alonso to a win, with Massa trailing in in tenth place. This is a good set of changes which sets up some real interest in next year. How wil...

I get the feeling the WRC will die before Solberg wins another rally. At this point the two seem equally likely. I think it is a crying shame and a sad day when the WRC bows out... Such a historical championship. Will the IRC takes the lead then? Or rallying is just as doomed? I personally think th...

Thats what the crowd at Turn 1 thought. Everyone was booing when Dario won.

Last few laps with Japanese commentary: m I like the five seconds of slience after the crash, followed by screaming. I was there, Taku hit the wall just in front of us. He did a great race, it was a pity. But it was obvious there was no way he was going to finish second. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.aka...

Ross Prawn

Got to say that there were not many obviously rejectful performances.

But the Mercedes pit crew for spoiling our chance to see what Schumi could do in a decent car.

And likewise the Renault strategists for making Kimi look like a plonker.

Ross Prawn

Bahar has obviously gone bonkers, poor chap. Expect to see him working in your local chip shop anytime soon.

Ross Prawn

Ok... let me see if I've got this straight. Last year Lotus sued Lotus for the right to call themselves Lotus. Lotus won and the team known as Lotus which they were sponsoring changed its name to Lotus. Meanwhile Lotus changed its name to something else but kept the green Lotus colour. But now Lotus...

"Kill him"

Ross Prawn

Great race. I suspect that Massa's performance is more indicative of the Ferrari package than Alonso's, just an incredible drive. Its also interesting to compare Jenson's honest admissionthat he cocked up and his relaxed admission that it was an awful race to Lewis's tantrum last week. One of these ...

I reckon both Senna and Maldonada, while not setting the world on fire, could actually do okay.

I think thats exactly the point. What credible F1 team employs drivers who 'while not setting the world on fire, could actually do okay' ? Compare with the attitude at Toro Rosso.

I agree with Captain Hammer. Must be Christmas.

The sack of Buemi and Alguersuari is definitely a surprise, given their consistency and generally solid performances. Of course, they never did a Vettel, but again, bringing two almost complete rookies to F1 (in the same team) instead of using experienced and seasoned talent seems a little strange....

Ross Prawn

I think it's much simpler than that - if Williams offered Hulkenberg a seat, he would probably turn it down because they're not very competitive. That's what rubs me the wrong way about Hulkenberg: he seems to be demanding the most competitive car available. And while every driver has the right to ...

He has signed for Lotus Renault ! Dunno how that will work. Fundamentally its a good team, although this year was dissappointing. They like no-nonsense, fast drivers and Kimi could be that if he bothers to do some work. Could be interesting. I guess they would have preferred Kubica though. And does ...

Ross Prawn

And back to F1 ! I'd nominate:- Williams, for all the reasons that have already been said. Given their facilities and experience they should be doing much better. Hamilton, not so much for for his driving, which is at least entertaining. But for letting all the celebrity stuff go to his head, and ju...

I have to give a special shout-out to a non-Formula 1 driver here, because he's made a move that is dumber than anything anyone has managed to do in Formula 1 this year (and that's saying a lot): Mikko Hirvonen has replaced Sebastien Ogier at Citroen. Hirvonen will join Sebastien Loeb for 2012 - wh...

Ross Prawn

All the drives were extremely probable. But I'd nominate Vettell . Sudden punture on the first corner! Maybe Nelson Piquet junior was in the crowd with a rifle. And Alonso and Hamilton for giving each other a hug after the race. Maybe Fernando is grateful to Lewis for stuffing up Massa's races at ev...
