Hah, you were one of the milder ones as I recall.

The acid test is how Rachel1992 feels about him.

I've been away for quite a while, so gone are the days when I could have told you how everyone felt on everything, but is Vettel still as almost universally reviled as he was 2-3 seasons ago? I remember quite a bit of vitriol, mostly vis-a-vis the fact that RBR had the tendency to absolutely dominat...

Sad to see another driver dying. RIP Justin. I hope Indycar and other open wheel series start to think about a canopy or something. The problem with a canopy for me, is that it feels like another step towards the total sterilisation of racing. I'm not quite coming from Stirling Moss' viewpoint here...

My ROTR is Lewisteria. As well as what has already been mentioned in this thread, the 10PM news last night on BBC had Hamilton's title win as the second most important news story. Not to mention the response from all of the papers this morning... Was there a whole lot else to report though? An F1 t...

Still, politics sullied the floor and each passing year things get even more idiotic and farcical than ever before. I still haven't forgiven F1 in general to let two teams disappear like they weren't there in first place. IIRC the head of CVC recently said something to the effect of reining in Bern...

I honestly think some of the races need to be longer. Obviously, don't make Singapore any longer than it already is, but I'd love to have another 5 or 10 laps tagged onto the end of races such as Monaco, Belgium, Australia, Britain etc. Isn't Monaco long enough already? It produces awesome like onc...

Ultimately, the politics in F1 are created by the media and perpetuated by the fans. I thought it was quite an interesting season - Rejects scoring points in Marussia, a new WCC in Mercedes, Hamilton ending his dry spell and finally getting back to the top 6 years after his last title not to mention...

So is this forum now rehosted elsewhere? I see the link to F1 Rejects is totally gone, and eytl is back in green, or has Biscione just taken over the day to day running of it? The forum is still hosted on the same server. The main site remains inaccessible by Jamie & Enoch's request, and Enoch'...

I always thought he was alright. Obviously he wasn't Ross Brawn, but I always had him about the same level as Rob Smedley, and everyone loves him.

I don't really follow other motorsports but I give NASCAR, MotoGP and Indycar news a cursory read from time to time and the theme of decline seems a common one. All of those series, based on a few articles I've read only, seem to have an issue with both ticket sales and TV viewers dropping year on ...

So... has anyone seen who is Wikipedia's article of the day yet? Spoiler alert: 1970s driver Tom Pryce, perhaps the greatest Welsh F1 driver ever. He deserved to win a GP if not multiple career wins or a championship, but he met a horrible end instead, which I won't go into details about. RIP Tom. ...

The core problem is that FIA just doesn't have a clue as to why the ratings are dwindling....thus these great ideas. I saw a Tweet yesterday from one of the F1 journos about how they had 6 of the team bosses in the press conference and not a single one knew anything about marketing, social media or...

More to the point, why has no-one mentioned Blackadder yet?

Eifelland

Here's hoping. It was in the region of 600,000 which brings the total we've received from selling him to about 1.6 million. Not bad considering Rochdale sold him for 200,000 and certainly not bad news for Rovers. Now we just need to get ourselves promoted back into the league, which as Luton showed,...

Ricciardo's first win came from 6th on the grid. In 39 wins Vettel's never won from lower than 3rd on the grid. And only 3 of those wins were from 3rd. When you look at the fact that since joining RBR, prior to this season, Vettel was on pole 47% of the time, not counting p2 starts, you understand ...

When we sold him to Saints a few years back, we went downhill very fast. From League 1 to the Conference in about 4 years. Gloriously rejectful on our part (Bristol Rovers).

For all the drama going on this weekend, this is what really matters to the sport (or so I'd like to believe). On a more sombre note, if things don't pick up for the rest of the season, could this be the moment that sinks Sauber? I have to wonder as well whether that is the case - in fact, I wonder...

Is today the most important day in the history of F1 Rejects?

Hamilton is pretty angry, as well as being young. If he hulks out today and goes on the rampage against Rosberg (anyone else see him getting round Rosberg at Mirabeau and then storming off?) it would be the best thing for him. This has happened to a few drivers over the years - A certain M. Webber w...

Hamilton confirmed for going full Suzuka 1990 on Rosberg.

Hey, it would spice up Monaco a bit

Eifelland

It's an interesting one. If Rosberg HAS done something unsporting, it would surprise me quite alot (although it does seem somewhat like he has at this juncture), as I always found him to be one of the more wholesome characters in F1. That said, pressure can get to us all, and Hamilton giving it the ...

I must say that I hadn't been aware that Domenicali had come from such a non-racing background. That explains quite a bit.

What sort of leadership is that, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo? So the team was having a tough race, and he leaves the circuit? To do what? He couldn't wait forty minutes? Petulant, childish. Even disgraceful. Would Enzo Ferrari do that? Ron Dennis? Colin Chapman? I know Luca is Chairman and not a Te...

If they lose enough teams they'll turn round and take a look. Even if they only lost 1 or 2 (and amongst them probably a historic one, like Williams or Sauber), I would have thought enough people would stop and take it seriously. It depends whether or not Bernie is allowing 2 new teams in to make up...

Admittedly this is heavily biased, but I'm going to go for... Sauber! Yes, I know. In that bit where I was briefly allowed to chunter all over our overlords' podcast, I said Sauber would be Reject of the Year. Two races down, and so far, it looks not only like I am right, but also that my reasons f...

Reports this morning (unofficial) that he is breathing unaided. I think, with gathering bits of news here and there, that this must be true. Gary Hartstein said a few weeks ago that if the brain stem was too damaged to wean him off the ventilator then discussions would be taking place about withdra...
