Grand Prix Rejects

I'm thinking a red and white livery, with Bruno Senna and Marco Andretti as their drivers

Walsh_e

It might just be me, the coverage or the track but they just don't seem fast or even close to the limit! Will save my judgement after watching a few more races however.

That Citorén livery, terrible!

Walsh_e

Glad that this is finally progressing, although for me there should be a minimum of 15 teams in F1 with 26 cars starting! Sadly it seems like the FIA have messed this up again, Haas should be entering in 2016, 8 months to find an engine, set up a team, hire drivers, get commercial partners, get a ch...

My word, WTCC is pretty dull, might watch a few BTCC races to wake myself up!

Walsh_e

This long drawn out process makes me miss the old days, you pay your entry fee then turn up with whatever you have managed to cobble together, truly great times!

EDIT; Also I think Prost's decision to pull in after only one lap at Australia 1989 showed massive balls & courage on his behalf. And I remember Martin Brundle held the same view in his book 'Working the Wheel'. Especially since most of the other drivers said they would do the same, but didn't ...

Jackie Ickx in 1970, at the halfway point of the season he had 4 points, by the end of the year he had 40, taking 3 wins and a 4th! Alan Jones in 1979, coming into round 8 he had 4 points, again he ended the season on 40 points taking 4 wins from the last 6 races after Williams got to grips with the...

What if Prost stayed with Mclaren after 1980 instead of moving to Renault. I'm thinking WDC in 1982? Prost would have been a winner in 1981 as in reality but barring a good relaibility rate, I don't think he would win the title until 1984. He would do a unimaginably better job than de Crasheris, an...

For me this shows the problem with F1, even established teams like Sauber are in financial troubles! The need for a cap on spending is drastically needed, along with a greater share of the money to the teams, there should be enough money to keep 13 teams going! The FIA should 1) take back the rights...

From this weekend I think that nouveau chateau (or Newcastle as they used to be known) are badly in danger of going down, a huge defeat at home but the worst thing for them was that they basically gifted Liverpool every single goal, Liverpool weren't amazing or doing anything special, they just play...

I'd of banned this just for the rear wing http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2592/4192431016_a1f1196645.jpg Then again most cars in '83 could have been banned based on aesthetics! In 1997 I'd of banned any car that wasn't this: http://www.at-speed.co.uk/lo97laab.jpg

Tiff Needell!

Would like to see Markus Winkelhock be given a real chance, led more Grand Prix's that most drivers on the grid.

Walsh_e

Great job guys, well worth getting up for.

Loved the turban Jamie, suited you

Walsh_e

There may be a lack of interest because of the rule changes, why enter for 2012 when the rules will change the year after, however with no news of the FIA even putting a spot to tender would appear that they have given up on the 13th team, at least for this year. I can't help but feel that the FIA i...

Jenson Button, FANTASTIC!

Walsh_e

What Brundle said "The reason Kobayashi is second is because he hasn't pitted"

What Brundle meant to say "The reason Kobayashi is second is because he is pure awesome"

Red Flag finally!

Walsh_e

Drive through for Button, not McLaren's finest 25 minutes!

Walsh_e

Not bad for Hamilton, under investigation for 3 incidents after racing for 3 laps, nice

Walsh_e

2 rejects of the race in a row for Hamilton now, he's consistent!

Walsh_e

Massive crash, thankfully he is ok, hope those who where behind the wall are safe!

Go number 58 go!

With Williams improving its looking like the Bahrain fiasco could get reject of the year at this rate!

Walsh_e

11 hours to go until pretty much 26 solid hours of motor racing, it's going to be good

Reject of the race shortlist: 1. Williams 2. Williams 3. Williams Seriously, they were awful all weekend, its time for major changes at the team, Sam Michael's and co have had 5 years now, what have they done in that time? Time to get shut and start again. A mention to Tm O'Glock but he had trouble ...

Walsh_e

I don't have a problem with F1 giving the impression that it is green, I quite like the idea of a new engine formula as well, we've basically had the current v10 formula for 20 years now (occasional engine displacement granted) and quite frankly there's little else that can be done. My main problem ...

Walsh_e

Webber to Williams, had an offer from Renault, went against his managers advice and spent much of the next two years in a cloud of steam. Phil Hill to ATS and Fittipaldi to Copersucar are probably the worst, Alan Jones to Lola-Haas deserves a mention. You can also add anyone who went near an Osella ...

Walsh_e

His CV was slightly tarnished from his Arrowes days, he came across very badly but you cannot argue with his success before then (well you can, but not very well).

Never a fan of his but alot of respect to the man, RIP.

Walsh_e

I want to see Ukyo Katayama take over the team, they'd crash out most races but it'd interesting to watch them do it! On a more serious note (debatable) it's sad to see HRT still struggling, it would be nice to see what the team would do with enough financial backing to at least compete at the same ...

Walsh_e

3rd: Massa: Not only beaten by his team mate but didn't even put up a fight! 2nd: Liuzzi: Deadbeat teammate, pretty much awful all season, STILL making novice mistakes! 1st: Schumacher: 7 time world champion, most race wins, most pole positions, "greatest" driver of all time, what did he d...

Walsh_e

In the end a boring race made a little more interesting by what was at stake, incredible drive by Petrov. As for Webber, (one of the last guys in top teams who worked his way up to F1 the hard way) I was sad to seem him lose but sadly it wasn't to be, the Korea mistake was what cost him the title. V...

Walsh_e

Maybe its because it's been copied so many times, maybe I'm just hatful towards everything (strong possibility) but I think the gulf livery is god awful.

Walsh_e

Only two nominations from me, firstly: Hispania - Yes they are miles off the pace but they didn't even come close to resembling a professional outfit this weekend, they are still having the exact same problems they had at the beginning of the year, they spent most of free practice sending Bruno out ...

Walsh_e

Yamamoto over 1.5 seconds slower than Bruno despite having twice as much track time! Looks like the new teams lack of downforce won't hurt them as much here either, outside chance (depending on how many people Vettel knocks off the track, that they could get close to the top 10, 12th/13th maybe.

Walsh_e

All I can say is, HOW DARE THEY! (Bit of classic victorian theatre there) How dare they deny me, a loyal F1 fan who watches the races for free on the bbc and hasn't bought any merchandise since Minardi were bought out, the chance to watch Villenuve driving round at the back of the grid, in an uncomp...

The less-angry cousin of Rantbox. Currently watching the BBC online F1 Classic races, Monza 1991. And just pondered: Wasn't James Hunt bloody awesome in his role as Murray's Sidekick. ...if it crosses your mind. Post it here Agreed, loved some of Hunts comments although never liked his vendetta aga...

Young driver programs are the norm these days although they have been around for a lot longer (the Elf program of the 70's off the top of my head) plus you would have F1 teams with lower Formula cars to help drivers through. Ferrari have pretty much always resisted this and simply gone for the best ...

Walsh_e

Kobayashi is certainly showing great racing speed and race craft, just needs to get his qualifying performances sorted really, another few years at Sauber continuing to perform could see him make the step up, perhaps to Renault, Red Bull (always looking to sell more drinks!) or maybe even Lotus if t...

1. Webber
2. Button
3. Kubica
4. Hamilton
