Grand Prix Rejects

Indeed, for more see links here: m m In fact, you even get a reject of the year podium!! The 2000 Podium was Bronze - Mazzacane [Originally posted Sato], Silver - Diniz, Gold - Wurz. So Enoch - why didn't we go for Alesi? I see looking back we ranked him 19th out of 22. This is what you wrote in the...

Conspiracy Theorists... STAND UP.

Who thinks Max blames Ron for being behind ANTSMSW5PG, and hence Max is out to get Ron and won't rest until he's driven him from F1....??

Oh, OK, just me, eh?

Nice!

While it's not entirely Reject-themed, while in Melbourne and at the same place Enoch picked up his Mimmo '95, I picked up a Bertrand Gachot 1991 Jordan. What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful car. And it's nice have Gachot - given his taxi cab indiscretion which gave M Schumacher his big break.

Please, please tell me that was some kind of spoof.

That was one of the most unintentionally funny things I have seen in a while.

"Hand gestures speak volumes ... inquisitiveness laced with hostility" WTF????

What the heck... you raised the bitrate to an insane 48kbps??? Oh, and the sampling frequency went up as well! That's not at all within your crappy standards ^^ Alas, possibly a one-time thing only - our bandwidth (hello no advertising) means keeping the file size (and hence bitrate) low low low is...

G'day all, Well, we've just posted our Malaysian GP edition. Not a massively long podcast - more of a "half points" podcast this time around. We cover the latest Lewis/McLaren controversy, discuss the Malaysian rain, and generally crap on as per usual. Hopefully the April 14th Court of App...

Bleu wrote:Wasn't that Bervid mentioned when you put replacements for each driver, regarding the rumoured driver's strike last year?

Yes, indeed, you're probably right on that one!! Now you know why....!

As you might have noticed, we tend to love drivers with, ahhh, unusual names. Therefore Enoch and I always had a great desire to see Czech touring car legend Vaclav Bervid get an F1 drive - despite a career that started in the 1960s, he was still driving super touring races as late as 1997, and coul...

Nuppiz - where did you read that? That's not what the commentary was saying, although not that they know anything!

(Or what constituted the Malaysian GP). So.... thoughts? Until the downpour, we seemed to think that it was a cracking race - with plenty of overtaking, not exclusively due to the weather I might add, with KERS actually playing a useful role for once. As I type this - it is unclear whether we will g...

Runningboots - if you're looking for an even more comprehensive list, try:

The thing I don't understand is why they ever suggested to Lewis to give the place back in the first place. If Trulli went off wide under the safety car, then the pass is OK, surely. Why McLaren told Hamilton first to give the place back before seeking clarification from Charlie is bizarre to me. Th...

What a tragedy A further tribute can be read here . On an Atlas Nostalgia Forum post, someone has written: "A good enough driver in his day to be called up by Frank Williams to replace an injured Nanni Galli in the 1973 South African GP and brilliant in the 1971 season with the Team Gunston Bra...

Yannick - what great stories. You have truly seen some of the greats moments in rejects history. Someone alive saw BOTH Perry McCarthy at Eau Rouge and Taki Inoue in Hungary? What joy!!

Ladies and Gents - we don't like to talk about the 'worst' anything, unless it's our own site design. These guys deserve respect. Without them, this site would not exist, for one. If we must discuss this issue - let's keep it on the topic of talent. Which is itself a particularly murky issue when th...

AndreaModa, I believe the penalty to Vettel was for the accident.

The GBP50,000 fine to Red Bull was for allowing him to circulate with 3 wheels!

Actually Klon - in Australia Virgin is called "Virgin Blue". Because their planes are red. Because male red-heads in Australia are allegedly called 'bluey' . Suffice to say the Virgin service was eons better than the Qantas service on our return flight from Melbourne to Sydney on Monday, w...

Aye, aye, Capt'n H. I admire your analysis. Bert's comment reminds me of a discussion we had with Mischa, of www.Formule1.nl and Sat podcast fame, who suggested to us that he thought whatever loophole was in the regulations was put there deliberately to encourage innovation and to shake up the grid ...

A picture of the F1 Rejects guys in action on Sunday. Michael and Tim (me), former competition winners from F1 Rejects being interviewed for the Podcast. It was great to meet the guys and was also impressed by the F1 rejects uniform that was more interesting than what the BBC boffins were strewn in...

After rewatching Kubica's attempted pass on Vettel several times, I must complain that your podcast deserves reject status! It is my view that the same thing happened as at Japan last year(between Massa and Bourdais); the passing driver squeezed in too much, assuming that the inner driver would sla...

Yes - that's something we missed this year in taking an everything-but-podcasts post-European GP hiatus due to the birth of Enoch's daughter amongst other things.

But now we're back in the swing of things somewhat, we're open to suggestions. Acronyms, captions, haikus... what's left!?

Cheers,
Jamie.

G'day all, Well, we've just posted our Sunday Edition of the F1 Rejects podcast from Melbourne. Thanks to Tim and Michael for taking part! The BIG NEWS of course is that it features our interview with ZB - "He Whose Name Shall Not Be Mentioned"! Hope you enjoy it, feel free to post your co...

Well, am posting this from my phone trackside at turn 9. Thanks to eveyone for posting. Keep it up! Beautiful weather here, race start just over an hour away now. Busy day - suffice to say tonight's podcast will be worth the wait.

OK - We'll start the ball rolling on the suggestion of AGS from the latest podcast. AGS stands for Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives, and had such luminaries as Tarquini, Dalmas, Fabre, Moreno, Capelli, Barbazza drive for them in F1 from 86 to 91. So... any memories of AGS? Any tidbits we should ...

Righty-oh then all... the actual race is just 8.5 hours away! Predictions? Comments? Post-mortems? My thoughts are Brawn to carry the day with the only spoke in the wheel being their reliability due to not enough long run testing in the off-season. Nico could be a dark horse. Of course, Mark will be...
