ROTY will be a tough one, as has been said before nothing really stood out in terms of rejectfulness... but anyway here goes. Drivers: 3rd: Bruno Senna - Had some bright moments, but his performances were a bit erratic and he tended to be demolished by Maldonado on qualifying, making his races alway...

Priceless

But my pick is: A good part of the supporters on the stands - When the race ended their behavior was absolutely terrible. I don't know if this was broadcasted (I'm betting that wasn't), but they started to shout absolutely terrible, offensive things, in unison. As Massa was giving his emotional spe...

Red Bull Renault - 7/10 1 Sebastian Vettel - Did what he needed to do, and became triple world champion. 7/10. 2 Mark Webber - Good performance. Ahead of Vettel for once. 7/10. McLaren Mercedes - 9/10 3 Jenson Button - Once again showed his style, and took the win, finishing the season on a high. 9...

Priceless

Red Bull Renault - 7/10 1 Sebastian Vettel - Looked like he would run away with this one, but Hamilton took it from him. Blamed it on a backmarker and whined about it on radio. 7/10. 2 Mark Webber - Has had the bulk of Red Bull's reliability woes this year, and this weekend was no different. Didn't...

Priceless

1. Kimi Räikkönen - No explanation necessary. 2. Sebastian Vettel - Even though Lady Luck only looked away from him for a while when Red Bull was supplying the fuel sample to the FIA, she smiled brightly at him today - and to his merit he made the most out of it. I really didn't think he would pull ...

Priceless

3rd: Red Bull Racing - for the fuel debacle that sent Vettel to the back. 2nd: Sergio Pérez - A good performance wasted by a reckless move. 1st: Mark Webber - What a mess. EDIT: Whoops, forgot the Dishonorable Mentions to: McLaren Mercedes - for the mechanical failure that put paid to Hamilton's up...

Priceless

Red Bull Renault - 6/10 1 Sebastian Vettel - What a performance. Started last, clawed back some positions, a broken front wing demoted him to last once again and he managed to get a podium. 10/10. 2 Mark Webber - Messy drive. Two forceful moves, one on Maldonado and another on Massa, then got taken...

Priceless

1. Fernando Alonso - as Vettel was untouchable, did a perfect damage limitation job by claiming 2nd. 2. Bruno Senna - very clean drive, with some nice overtaking moves. Honorable mentions: Nico Hülkenberg - is making the most out of his F1 drive. Charles Pic - Finished only 1 lap down and seemed to ...

Priceless

3rd: Sauber F1 - At one point it looked like Pérez could save the team from another disappointing performance, but ultimately that didn't happen... and Kobayashi was anonymous. 2nd: Mercedes AMG - The silver arrows get the silver award. Their performance gets more and more disappointing with each r...

After missing the last round, here goes... now with team rating, too. Red Bull Renault - 10/10 1 Sebastian Vettel - Untouchable all weekend. Again. This is starting to become boring, "old-days" Schumacher-like. 10/10. 2 Mark Webber - Lost his position to Alonso, but performed well nonethel...

Priceless

1 Sebastian Vettel - Untouchable all weekend. 10/10. 2 Mark Webber - Fell off, but this time it wasn't really his fault. 7/10. 3 Jenson Button - Put a great deal of pressure on Kobayashi in the closing laps. 8/10. 4 Lewis Hamilton - Okay drive. Not bad, but not all that good either. 6/10. 5 Fernand...

Priceless

3rd: Bruno Senna - For wasting another race where he had good pace with silly mistakes and penalties.
2nd: Sergio Pérez - For putting himself out of the race out of eagerness to pass Hamilton.
1st: Rmmnnn Grrrjnnn - Another race, another 1st lap crash.

Priceless

Going with the trend... 1. Felipe Massa - Flawless. 2nd was the absolute best that was possible since Vettel was untouchable. 2. Kamui Kobayashi - BANZAI!!! Honorable mention to Heikki Kovalainen for running 11th on merit for a long time until the tires dropped off, and Timo Glock for keeping up wit...

Priceless

3rd: Caterham F1 - the early promise they had of mixing it with the midfield seems to have evaporated, now Marussia seems to be closing the performance gap to them (Glock was only 0.3s off Kovalainen in qualifying) and it's hard for them now to take 10th back from Marussia. 2nd: McLaren's gearbox -...

Priceless

1 Sebastian Vettel - With Hamilton out nobody could really outdo him, much like in qualifying. 9/10. 2 Mark Webber - Not good, even for a number 2 driver (see Massa). 5/10. 3 Jenson Button - That was the strong, cool-headed Button of 2011. 9/10. 4 Lewis Hamilton - Was untouchable, and looked set to...

Priceless

1. Timo Glock - 12th in a Marussia. Caterham'd better score that first point soon, or they'll finish the WCC behind Marussia. 2. Paul di Resta - Never put a foot wrong, and finished a great 4th. Force India is now pulling away from Williams and have Sauber on their sights in the WCC. Honorable menti...

Priceless

1 Sebastian Vettel - Had a bad start, but made up for it with good race pace. 9/10. 2 Mark Webber - Average. 6/10. 3 Jenson Button - The class of the field for the whole weekend. An emphatic victory. 10/10. 4 Lewis Hamilton - Was taken out by Grosjean, but as said in earlier posts probably wouldn't...

Priceless

3rd: Mercedes' gearboxes - Demoted Rosberg to 23rd on the grid then failed on Schumi's car when he was in a good moment in the race. 2nd: Williams F1 - Pastor Maldonado for once again wasting a great qualifying effort, jumping the start then crashing into Glock after serving the penalty that follow...

Priceless

1. Nico Hülkenberg - Great drive for 4th. 2. Jenson Button - From his performances in the last few races one wouldn't really expect such an emphatic victory from him. Honorable mentions: Felipe Massa - Very nice recovery to 5th from that horrid 14th in qualifying. Sebastian Vettel - Bad qualifying, ...

Priceless

1 Sebastian Vettel - Set the fastest lap, but realistically wouldn't pass Grosjean. 7/10. 2 Mark Webber - Not as good as a couple races ago. 6/10. 3 Jenson Button - Had pace, but strategy let him down and he lost a lot of time behind Senna. 6/10. 4 Lewis Hamilton - Untouchable. 10/10. 5 Fernando Al...

Going with the trend here, for the reasons already discussed.

1. Bruno Senna
2. Kimi Räikkönen

My ROTR podium: 3rd: Sauber F1 - quoting Kamui Kobayashi, "We have simply been too slow", and Sergio Pérez, "There isn't much to say, we were simply lacking the pace here". 2nd: Pastor Maldonado - he just doesn't seem to learn. Another bump into another driver, another penalty. 1...

Priceless

For the reasons already discussed, my votes are...
1. Sauber F1
2. Vitaly Petrov

Honorable mentions to Jenson Button and Pedro de la Rosa.

I think I was into the 1:15/14 range when I tried using my Cammaro LM. But I thought that using a actual race car would be too mainstream, so I used a NASCAR. It was farily easy though, since I've done some racing in a NASCAR in Comfort Softs around Monaco. Bonus Points Plox? That's quite good. Wit...

I think I have just figured out why your username is what it is. And why is it? Reference to a MasterCard ad, I think this as the 1997 Mastercard Lola is your avatar. (I am probably completely wrong though) No, that's it - I chose that because it's one of my favorite F1 Reject stories, along with L...

1 Sebastian Vettel - Good. Made the strategy work. 8/10. 2 Mark Webber - A very controlled race. A win constructed with patience. It looked like Alonso was going to run away with it, but he went and took it at the right moment. Great. 9/10. 3 Jenson Button - Struggled for pace today, but wasn't as ...

3rd: McLaren Mercedes - their drop in race pace compared to their rivals is glaring. Both Hamilton and Button struggled. 2nd: Nico Rosberg - Was absolutely nowhere the whole race. 1st: Pastor Maldonado - For his crashy driving antics ONCE AGAIN. He's fast, but he's thrown away a truckload of points...

Priceless

1. Felipe Massa - Finally he picked up his pace. Finished 4th only a few seconds off Alonso. Hope he keeps it up. 2. Rmmnnn Grrrjnnn - it was a great recovery drive, though helped by the Lotus car which was super-fast today. Honorable mentions: Bruno Senna - while Maldonado is clearly the faster of ...

Here's the video for 3-3 . On second note, I've already submitted my time for 3-4 (replay already saved, video coming soon), but I have one question... The car I used comes fitted with Racing Medium tires, but since the "allowed tuning" states "Sports Tires", I went and fitted i...

In my opinion, considering the current state of things, Felipe should either retire or have some fresh air at another team. He could be a good addition to Sauber, or any midfield team (Williams, I'm looking at you). Being 2nd best in Ferrari isn't all that valuable, let alone if you're scoring medi...

My upgraded CFD facilities are back online, after suffering from some problems which took longer than expected to solve. I'll record the videos from the last few rounds, which I have as saved replay data, and try to upload them this weekend.

1 Sebastian Vettel - Was en route for a commanding win until car let him down. 9/10. 2 Mark Webber - Superb recovery from the back of the pack. 9/10. 3 Jenson Button - Quite anonymous, even though he wasn't as bad as last race. 4/10. 4 Lewis Hamilton - Was doing OK until Maldonado sent him onto the...

3rd: F1 Rejects forum members - everyone who thought we'd have a procession, myself included: never we've been so wrong. In this case however, being wrong is good! 2nd: Williams drivers - lucky to have scored a point (Maldonado's post-race penalty promoted Senna to 10th) after all the crashing and ...

Priceless

1. Caterham F1 - Kovalainen beat both Toro Rossos in qualifying and Petrov even got into the points in the race... a shame they got involved in incidents. 2. Force India - they've been surprisingly VERY strong all weekend. A double points finish with Hülkenberg 5th... wow. Honorable mentions: Fernan...

I thought that the ACO suggested an upper limit of 5.5 litres for the engines being used by privateers? Even if it was 5 litres, that would exceed the capacity of the largest engines engines ever fitted to an F1 car by some margin (the 4.5 litre engines permitted for 1950 and 1951); moreover, it'd ...
