Grand Prix Rejects

sswishbone

Yuki - solid drive to points

Sergio Perez - great pace all weekend and those moves at 130r were right out of 2005

sswishbone

Mclaren pitwall - bringing in Lando when they did threw away a genuine podium shot.

Sky Commentary - they made so many flubs today

sswishbone

Have to say the decision not to call a red flag is very questionable given this

Williams : sorry but they aren't getting out of their no spare chassis charge

sswishbone

Ferrari : you mean they didn't screw up a 1-2 opportunity?!

Taunoda : showed good pace in a below par machine to nab points

sswishbone

Early Reject of the race for Williams they don't have a spare chassis and due to what happened in FP1 a driver may not partake this weekend

sswishbone

And now they've apparently complained to the FIA as well:-

This is not a good look. It says "dishonesty", however, no doubt many will interpret this as smothering a whistle blower. It will be interesting where this goes...

sswishbone

1) Stroll - can't complain at that recovery from a shunt he didn't cause.

2) The Wind - changed the track lines to the extent drivers were genuinely challenged. Watching Russell and LeClerc near the drag strip gave us some racing and an indication of where the talent lies

sswishbone

1) Alpine - what the bath plug was that?

2) RB Visa Cash App - terrible driver swap order which achieved nothing

sswishbone

2024 Driver's champion crowned already? Grand Prix 1. Max Verstappen 2. Sergio Perez 3. Lewis Hamilton 4. Charles Leclerc 5. George Russell 6. Carlos Sainz 7. Daniel Ricciardo 8. Lando Norris 9. Alex Albon 10. Yuki Tsunoda Pole: Max Verstappen Fastest Lap: Max Verstappen First Retirement: Valterri B...

That pre-season testing gap... repeat of last year?

With a decision

Early vote for Reject of the year... the photoshop in this article

sswishbone

Rumour with practically no source suggests Adrian Newey has an exit clause which can be triggered by Horner leaving... taking into an ocean full of salt... Newey/Hamilton together at Ferrari?!

sswishbone

Apparently Peter Windsor thinks Red Bull have offered Alex Albon a drive for 2025... Make of that what you will, but unexpected Perez to Merc?

sswishbone

Alonso to Mercedes in 2025, calling it now

sswishbone

Despite the almighty Mastercard Lola disaster, one team seems to think so

sswishbone

Early 'reject of the race' for the Vegas Circuit drain covers. Nice to see the return of F1's rarer issues

sswishbone

1) Aston Martin - Truly great return, could spice things up again for the last two races.

2) Albon's tyre - not often you see something hit two cars and still roll while cut in half

sswishbone

1) LeClerc's Ferrari - that was pathetic

2) Martin Brundle's grid interview with Machine Gun Kelly - when will he stop talking to people who clearly don't care about the sport?

sswishbone

1) Daniel Ricciardo: Made up a good haul of points for once, with a result that came out of left field. Tsunoda's no longer the only AlphaTauri driver this season to get points. 2) Lando Norris: I expected a decent recovery drive, but fifth is still a result after all of that. Liam Lawson scored po...

sswishbone

1) Aston Martin - Their whole weekend has been the epitome of going backwards

2) Logan Sergant - last lap pit stop... did he think the checkered flag came out early?

sswishbone

1) Lando Norris - 17th to 5th, with 14th to 5th in half the race, brilliant

2) Daniel Ricciardo - for not falling way back and almost stealing 6th from Russell

sswishbone

It really is not good enough, we saw the near miss with Tsunoda this must be stamped out, all three should have had a grid penalty on my opinion. Can't wait for someone to do this at Monaco and cry SAFETY as a defense

sswishbone

1) Stewards - really poor consistency on infringements for track limits all weekend. Potentially green lighted a "take whatever line you want at turn one approach." Does no one remember Alonso's deliberate off-track at Sochi? 2) Martin Brundle - for doubling down on his pathetic comments a...

sswishbone

1) Aston Martin - to have legitimately come from pit lane start to points was amazing, shame for Alonso but huge kudos to Stroll.

2) Alpha Tauri - very crafty use of Ricciardo's place to test a fastest lap option that initially doubled Tsunoda's points, before the disqualifications giving even more

sswishbone

1) Mclaren - didn't finish more than 30 seconds behind Verstappen as predicted

2) Lawson - beat Tsunoda in a straight fight on home territory, will Red Bull regret their announcement?

sswishbone

1) Perez - Absolutely pathetic, could Red Bull do what Mclaren did with Riccardo, and bench him for Lawson? 2) Sergeant - looked hopeless and out of his depth HM - David Croft for twice trying to say Red Bull had won their sixth consecutive title HM2) that kiss trophy gimmick, needless and valueless

sswishbone

Alonso and Perez absolutely deserve all their abuse, but for me it has to be Russell . It's not just that he binned it a few corners from the end on the last lap, it's that he was fighting for the win. It's that he was a favourite for the win and had the best chance to do it. It's because everythin...

sswishbone

1) Liam Lawson - Eliminated Max Verstappen from Q3, then scored points. Red Bull would be insane to have anyone else in that seat for this season and next

2) Ocon - Some of the best overtakes all season

sswishbone

1) Red Bull - Only chance this season, I'm taking it!

2) The National Anthem singers - for the worst lipsync performance I have ever witnessed

sswishbone

Riccardo has unfortunately ended his career today I think. He didn't blow the doors off Tsunoda and picked up an injury which realistically should have been avoidable as the yellow flags were waving one corner back. DeVries should be feeling pretty smug here though, potential proof that Alpha Tauri ...

sswishbone

Bold prediction... Andretti to buy Enstone

sswishbone

Also on autosport. Looking at the maps it'd make a 12 corner circuit and could lead to some epic drafting between what is currently turn 13 and 14, as 13 would become a fast sweeper. DRS on pit straight, between 3 and 4, and 13 and 14 could make for a lot of overtakes. Also setups would be an intere...

Wouldn't normally post a Top 10 here, but number one is right up our street

Autosport have it up so lopks like Dr Baker is spot on here https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/148757/baku-set-to-be-postponed-as-f1-faces-further-delay At this rate I'm thinking we won't have a season at all. Unless they manage some Europe or Asia only 8 race mini championship. But, to me. stick a f...

sswishbone

Bahrain and Vietnam are also off now. With hot rumor suggesting we may have to wait as long as Baku for the season to start

sswishbone

Exactly that Rob, Spa wouldn't have a chance, I imagine Canada would baulk, Silverstone always complain about costs, Mexico have not had it easy... Could be serious threat this.

sswishbone

Yup, race to be held behind closed doors due to the virus: -
