Grand Prix Rejects

Arrrrrrgh. Vettle. Toys. Pram. Its the hypocrisy that galled me most. Interesting how Seb complained that Mark was too slow earlier in the race, basically requesting team orders to manage Webber out of the way. Then, when team orders were in play, he blithely disregards them, all while Mark is racin...

3. FIA/FOM/FOTA/Whoever it was that decided that 5 pm in Melboure is a good time for qualifying and racing. I was at the track and there were 80,000 of us suffering through wet and wind to watch 20 minutes of qualifying. To those complaining about race control: I sat at turn 11/12 and the painted o...

Serious question (disturbing thought, I know). What is the state of open wheel competition in India/South Asia? From the little I can remember, the Asian F3 series folded in 2008 and the Asian GP2 series went the same way in 2011. That leaves, what? The Formula 1600 training wheels series and nothin...

Markus Winkelhock - 'At The Front'

Kazuki Nakajima - 'Out For a Spin'

Sakon Yamamoto - 'Rear View Mirror Unnecessary'

Mr Pentecost now has a facebook page for the project...

Oh, the fun that can be had.

Psst, fellas.

The Luca Badoer profile on F1Rejects.com has this photo on it:

That was the Wurz thing I ever read

I'll disagree on the first point, but agree on the second. I dont think that ultra-reliability has made anything less interesting, rather its made things more interesting. Engineering out some of the mechanical failures has meant that the car/driver combination determines the outcome, rather than a ...

Crazy conspiracy theory #1: Webber will not win a race until Vettel has the title sewn up.

Crazy conspiracy theory #2: Ralf Schumacher will make a comeback and take the second Ferrari seat for 2013

Crazy conspiracy theory #3: Michael Schumacher will win a race before the end of the season

I like James Allen, but he does tend to go a little frothing at the mouth sometimes and talk some silly twaddle on occasion. Unlike Mr Allen, I believe there is an embarrassment of talent coming through in the sport: Big John has shown he's a match for Kimi in terms of speed, provided he doesn't thr...

Aaaaannnnnnnd, the wing nuttery continues. Some choice quotes from the latest missive of Master Pentecost, driver extraordinaire and future F1 champion (oldest ever)* The biggest road block is the United Nations “Climate Change” agreement with the United States and every other “developed” country. C...

"I have to watch my weight. Completely “ripped”, six-pack abs, and 18 inch arms, I still weigh 185-190 lbs."

How is he going to race with arms only 18 inches long?

Has anyone asked this clown how he’s going to get a FIA superlicence? I know this is taking him with a degree of seriousness that is completely unmerited, but I want to see him try and squirm out of the question. Superlicence requirements are either Grade A competition licence + championship/multipl...

3. Webber - for allowing me to hope against hope that he could be in championship contention, then spending Sunday battling Torro Rossos, Force Indias and bathplugging Caterhams. Not sure what happened there... 2. Lewis Hamilton - Man it up and stop crying about retiring. 1. Vettel - Race performan...

More epic facepalm from your friend and mine, Mr Penetcost NASCAR m Christian Motorsports Mission m General racing lunacy m His fitness tip of the week for aspiring drivers is to take up a combat sport. Also "There is NO WAY any F1 driver is as overall physically, or mentally tough as I am. Tha...

The fail in this is simply epic. This guy has a "Global Alternative Energy Solution Invention" (contents not disclosed) that has a "potential return on investment between $100 Billion and $1 Trillion (or more)." He needs $49 million to "bring the invention from design to pro...

There are some suggestions in the social media/fringe journalist spheres that this is due to the disagreement over the 2013 concorde agreement, both between Williams and FOM and within Williams itself. Its reported that Adam was not a particular favourite of Mr E.

Like Webber Button Kobayashi Raikkonen Kovalainen Schumacher Glock Ambivalent Alonso Hamilton Hulkenburg Perez (could go into the like category) Nico Rosberg Petrov Annoyed by Vettel (pick a helmet) Hamilton (pick a facial hair) Massa (stop running into things) Karthikeyan (awful last weekend) Yet ...

A veritable font of rejectfulness ( from: m ): HRT #F1 mechanic just ran down Barcelona pit lane, asking GP2 teams to borrow bolts. I'm not kidding! My god they are in trouble! In Barcelona this week. HRT #F1 running today (in theory) & then all GP2 teams until Thursday. HRT #F1 being kept very ...
