Grand Prix Rejects

Not an reject but Elio de Angelis should've been a world champion if he hadn't died early. On many occasions he could take the fight up to Senna at Lotus IMO. Made his debut at 21 iirc, which at the time was not really usual.

Ugh, neither Paul Ricard nor Magny-Cours produced good races.

I don't think a French GP will happen until there is a French driver on the grid and thus more interest from the public. Jules Bianchi is their hope.

I think VW's focus is now on other things than F1. Ex. They have a high-profile WRC project coming up for 2012 I believe.

Not 2012 but a 2013 silly season rumour, found this referenced on m motorsport sub-forum, seems a tad crazy to me, what does everyone else think? m It's not that far fetched. But the fact is that Ferrari needs a better car if they want to win the WCC. An open spot at McLaren would start the Raikkon...

He's sixth in the drivers!! So he won't get replaced/sacked/dumped.

He needs to improve his qualifying pace though to maximize results.

Since everyone is nominating Hamilton (and with good reason) I give my vote to Jaime Alguersuari . He absolutely sucked the whole weekend and was IMO the one that caused the race to be red flagged - I might be wrong though, have to look at a replay once more, but it was him who used Hamilton as a s...

1. Sauber - Showed tremendous pace all weekend, shame for Perez' accident since he could've been 4th today if he would have started around 8th and the race would've gone as planned for him. Kamui did a fantastic drive. Well deserved 10 points for him and the team. Sauber was clearly the 5th fastest ...

He has a genuine chance for sure but I don't think he'll beat Michael's record.

However, I do think he will beat Mansell's pole position record.

And Bernie has not anything to do with this? This is his sneaky "artificial rain" plan coming into works.

I have no doubt that Sutil will drive all the rounds of 2011 in the Force India. But Adrian needs to really do something about losing to di Resta, his stock on the driver market is falling with or without an club incident. What could save a seat for him next season is his sponsors that could be attr...

I don't think Lewis will move from McLaren as I see McLaren being the best option for him. He knows the team inside out and while they have had some downs (early 2009) they have been competitive almost all the time since 2007, especially with Lewis at the wheel. Plus, he can have the McLaren pretty ...

If this proves to be a case where Sutil has snapped and started to swing objects at Lux, rather than a accident, than he deserves never to touch a Formula One car again to be honest. You don't hit people in the neck with a broken bottle, you just don't. But we can't know exactly what happened but it...

But then, who would invest in a country that has so much sovereign debt? Those having extra extra cash and willing to buy cheap land, I suppose since the economy in that country is a mess. High risk equals high reward. But this is not going to happen unless it's 100% privately backed. Greece, the s...

Frankly I don't think Fisco was capable of handling all of this back in 1999. Remember Fisco was an 'exictable' Italian in his younger days & was occasionally prone to letting his emotions rule his head (i.e. remember the 'spat' between Irvine & Fisco after they collided in Spain 1998, when...

He's not a reject but how Alexander Wurz didn't pan out is still a mystery to me. What happened to him after 1998? He performed really well during the three races Gerhard Berger was absent in 1997, scoring a podium in only his third race for Benetton. Wurz also got a good start to the 1998 season, ...

This should be renamed to Ayrton Senna Memorial Trophy and awarded to a driver that has presented best pace in the qualifying session during the course of the season.

Never driven anything else than a normal road car unfortunately. I was never into individual sports when I was young.

LOL if you think Sutil won't have a seat next season. I'd say he clearly punched above his cars weight for most of the season, and thus is in many's top 5 from 2010. At Korea he had brake problems, in the rain nonetheless, he just tried too hard. In Brazil on race day he did well. Okay, so Hulk is t...

The 1967 season was one of the closest seasons yet contested. Before the final race in Mexico City the standing was Hulme 35 and Clark 32.

Not one championship changes hands from the years 1957-1966 in this alternative championship. Even the 1964 championship had the same ending, since all championship contenders retired at the rubbish Zeltweg Airfield circuit! Here are the results. But don't worry, I got a feeling this could get reall...
