Grand Prix Rejects

Are you playing in Easy? No, in hard... It was just because it was difficult to understand how a rookie driver could be more than two seconds faster in qualifying than Button in the Brawn with a Toro Rosso. In this game, whatever the difficulty, the car always has performance levels equal to every ...

So, with a straight top 16 shootout, here are the results from 1950-1969. * dennotes a change from the original champion. 1950: Louis Rosier* 1951: Alberto Ascari 1952: Alberto Ascari 1953: Nino Farina 1954: Juan Manuel Fangio 1955: Juan Manuel Fangio 1956: Juan Manuel Fangio 1957: Juan Manuel Fangi...

Where was it?

I've never heard of Louis Rosier. Well, before this thread, neither had I. I guess that's probably because he's from a bygone era. And who would have won in the remaining seasons of the 50s and 60s? I'll do this tomorrow, hope to get the results posted in the evening. Top 16 will be used where poss...

Who? m As the link provides the data, Monsieur Rosier was a privateer driver who raced mainly for his own team - and the driver who co-designed the Charade racetrack at Clermont-Ferrand. Please go on with F1 Finals. There might be an interesting winner in 1951 as well. Of course I know who he is, I...

A top 16 knockout would be very unpredictable and punishing. I did it solely for 1950, and the driver who won was none other than the one, the only, the great

LOUIS ROSIER!!!

Who?

Wonder if anything changes if you just do a straight top-16 shootout over the last 4 races (i.e. 1st v 16th, 2nd v 15th, 3rd v 14th etc.)? I'd do it if I knew where I could find a website that told you points standings part-way through seasons gone by, but the only ones I know of just have them at ...

Pre-race Thomas De Bock's first visit at Monaco could go either way. Either he'll get crash-happy, or he'll stay calm and concentrated throughout. Well, this is the first time I drive at Monaco in a Formula 1 car, so it's going to be difficult to get up to a good speed. I seriously hope that I can ...

Bad news, I won't do much this weekend because of that (don't care really).
Good news, I'll stay home and watch a rainy race.

In other words...

HUZZAH!!!

Qualifying should be awesome, as it's currently raining very, very hard where I am right now, which is not at all far from Spa (around 20 km).

What are the numbers for?

...which was never actually held indoors.

I've heard the team is very unhappy with Bourdais, and being this weekend the Spanish GP, rumours around him being replaced by Jaime Alguersuari, which is the 3rd driver, have arisen. What do you have to say on this? I haven't been aware of thid, although this wouldn't surprise one bit. It would be...

And Thomas De Bock?

I've got 12 of them. Very tough. Looks like I'll have to use wikipedia...

Pre-race The Toro Rosso team went to Spain confident for a points-paying position this time around. In De Bock’s words, We’ve been having bad luck the past 4 races. It can’t last much longer. Barcelona, Qualifying Once again, qualifying was a walk in the park for Thomas De bock’s Toro Rosso. He set...

How about we call the "IT'S MEEEEELTIIIIIING!!!!" award, in reference to the melting points lead.

I'll add Carlos Reutemann, 1981.

Toro Rosso press release

“We are not very happy with De Bock’s performances lately, and so we expect a good showing at the next race in Spain. Failing that, we will have to reconsider his role in the team.”

Bahrain, race Another promising qualifying session saw De Bock start from the front row once more, but next to him was the fastest man of the weekend, Jenson Button. De Bock knew a good start would be vital for his overall race. Lap 1 After an average start, De Bock ducked into Button’s slipstream ...

Pre-race After his pole and promising race in Shanghai, De Bock and the Toro Rosso team went to Bahrain full of confidence. Sure, my results have been very average, but just looking at what happened during the races show what's happening in order for me to end up there. I'm just hoping I can make l...

You get penalties for running wide and gaining an advantage, cutting corners too much, hitting people and ignoring blue flags. With the penalties set to "severe", it's pretty obvious.

Shanghai, race Lap 1 A good start sees De Bock lead into the first corner. He leads most of the lap, only for Button to pass him on the back straight. De Bock repasses Button on the final corner, but has to run wide, earning De Bock a drive-through penalty, sending him down in 18th place. Lap 16 At...

I can't even pit! I come in the pitlane and simply pass my pit box without doing anything!

Interesting race, but are you not able to make early stops and change your strategy mid-race? If you'd been able to pit and get rid of those shot inters, I imagine points would have been a possibility perhaps? I've never tried, but it could be worth a shot. I'll try a practice race with that strate...
