Grand Prix Rejects

One driver woke up in Bahrain and decided he wanted ROTR all to himself!

1. Kevin Magnussen. I imagine points for the lower midfielders are going to be in short supply this season, a clinical drive to secure one for Haas.

2. Yuki Tsunoda. Almost scored a point in the barge that is the AT04.

1. Race Control . Not quite sure what drugs Freitas and Wittich were on today. Stroll's car barely merited a VSC, let alone a full-blown SC. Alonso's penalty and Hamilton's reprimand seemed insanely harsh too. 2. Valtteri Bottas . Dear god he was rubbish this weekend. Honourable mentions to McLaren ...

Evening everyone It's time for another juicy Driver Profile, and we have a doozy for you tonight. Yuji Ide contested only four F1 races in early 2006 but that was enough ammunition for his detractors to completely destroy his reputation, making him into a hapless comedic figure and a perennial inclu...

1. Logan Sargeant. An excellent debut weekend all things considered, he should hopefully pick up some points later in the season.

2. Alex Albon. Nearly reached Q3 and scored a precious point for Williams.

Honourable mention to Lance Stroll, battled through crippling pain to finish 6th.

1. Esteban Ocon . An absolute joke of an afternoon, was he trying to break Maldonado's record for most penalties in one race? :facepalm: 2. McLaren . Slow, dubious reliability, questionable existence, it's 2017 all over again. Honourable mentions to Ferrari , different year same garbage and Alpine f...

Afternoon everyone :deletraz: With the new Formula 1 season picking up full steam towards the first race of 2023, it's high time we finally closed the door on 2022. In fashionably late stye, Rob Dylan has produced the official Grand Prix Rejects Season Review for 2022, including the coveted Reject o...

Hi everyone

The new motorsport season brings us our first new Gravel Trap of the year, where Klon gives a great promo about Stock Car Pro, Brazil's premier racing series and a haven for GP Rejects old and new. You can read it right here today!

A Brazilian Gem - The Stock Car Pro Series

Evening everyone. It's time to kick off 2023 with a fresh Driver Profile, and what better way than to profile one of the most recent GP Rejects. Jolyon Palmer could not achieve unrejectification like his father did, but 37 often tumultuous races with two lucky points finishes for Renault obscured a ...

bathplug it, it's about time I returned to the ASMF

After nearly a decade on the sidelines, old Richie White has decided to revive Shock of the Lightning Motorsports under a new trading name.

Team: Pretty Green Motorsports
Nationality: British

Evening everyone It's high time we profiled another of those elite band of men who were GP Rejects in the 1950s. A Formula 1 career lasting just 19 laps in a poorly Gordini, Roger Loyer might seem like the sort of name you'd read once in an Formula 1 results book and never come across again. What al...

Evening everyone. You may or may not have seen an article from those Autosport botherers The Race , where Edd Straw bizarrely takes aim at the 2010 new teams and our 1989 pre-qualifying heroes, all while decrying those calling for more teams in Formula 1. We couldn't possibly let this rest without s...

For the final time in 2022, find out who closes out the season with an inglorious ROTR!

For the final time in 2022, IIDOTR has been decided!

Championship under lock and key and yet he still fancied more...like a ROTR award!

It was a slam dunk for IIDOTR this time around!

Evening everyone

We have a very special edition of The Gravel Trap for you lovely people tonight. With Sebastian Vettel's retirement now reality, Klon has penned a ode to the four-time world champion, which you can read right here!

An Open Letter to Sebastian Vettel

1. Sebastian Vettel. Fought all afternoon, a nice farewell for the lad.

2. Amaury Cordeel. The bloke was an F2 meme for most of this season, but he looked like a proper driver this weekend, excellent effort.

1. Mick Schumacher . Bizzare and idiotic move on Latifi, illustrating exactly why he's been turfed out for Hulkenberg. 2. Valtteri Bottas . Utterly crushed by Zhou all weekend, he should be worried about 2023. Honourable mention to Mercedes , their race pace dropped off a cliff after five laps, unsa...

Morning everyone The ranks of GP Rejects are populated with drivers who pottered about with meagre success in various series before getting their lucky break in Formula 1, and doing well enough to keep their Reject status. But there's also a subcategory of drivers who, while their F1 ventures were u...

10. Zhou

Pole: Verstappen

First retirement: Leclerc
ROTR: Sport
IIDOTR: Zhou
DBTMOTR: Ricciardo
Last Place: Latifi
How Far Back: 1 lap

1. Kevin Magnussen. That was an F1 moment we'll remember for years to come.

2. Charles Leclerc. Finished 4th in a car that was sticking out of the barriers on lap 7.

1. Daniel Ricciardo. A certified "Retire Old Man" moment and an brilliant demonstration of instant karma.

2. Stewards. They forgot to give Tsunoda the command to unlap himself during the SC, galaxy brain stuff.

1. Ross Chastain. No, I still don't believe it either. Actually managed to make a Playstation move work to lock himself into the championship four at Phoenix next week.

2. The mariachi F1 theme. A nice touch for the weekend.

Nothing in the race was IIDOTR worthy.

1. Mercedes strategists . Utterly dismal choice to switch both cars onto hards, looking at how Ricciardo went on the softs surely they should have left Russell out on the mediums and bolted on softs for the last 20 laps. I think Red Bull had enough in the tank to cover, but when Brackley are three r...

1. Fernando Alonso and his Alpine . How in the blue hell did that car score points after nearly entering low earth orbit? Alonso has balls of steel. 2. Sebastian Vettel . He's not going gentle into that good night, not a bit of it. Honourable mentions to Kevin Magnussen and Yuki Tsunoda for breaking...

1. Lance Stroll . Pissed away a top six result with a move which could've killed Alonso. 2. Valtteri Bottas . An embarrassing way to end Alfa's most promising run since Canada. Honourable mentions to George Russell , I like the guy a lot but he needs to stop driving into other people, and Daniel Ric...
