Grand Prix Rejects

Liquid

What?

Hülkenberg is a good driver, and exciting to watch. He's far more impressive than the glass of milk and deserves a shot at a better team. Putting Ginsters in the Lotus is just asking for trouble. We basically only want that to happen f0r the lulz.

Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin and Bridgestone are all in for 2014, setting up a titanic tyre battle.

Even for Joe Kinnear, that cannot be true! Also, I'm glad Joe Hart was dropped. It's not like he'll suddenly be playing for Cheadle FC in the Manchester Sunday League. He's well out of form and deserves to be dropped. It will be a test of his own character whether he can apply himself more in traini...

A poor precedent is not an excuse. /Opinion You are right. Still, one gets the feel that what matters about being a RoC driver is having a few champions, some celebrities who will boost the profile of the event while serving some purpose and then fill the grid with some juniors who might or not sne...

So... has she been a champion of anything this millennium?

Haha, yes.

Sorry, I must have had him confused with a transmission manufacturer!

These are my Rejects Of Some Years. 1995 British Touring Car Championship Alfa Romeo - Now, it would be easy to criticise Prodrive for not building upon Alfa Corse and Ninni Russo's 1994, but quite simply, this was a shocking year for them. Even with the other teams catching up aerodynamically, they...

Definitely! I watched it last night and the conditions are simply atrocious. A committed, hearty drive from Senna sure, but those were not safe driving conditions. Downright dangerous.

Liquid

Alain Prost was right to be calling off the Monegasque GP in 1984.

Not sure how unpopular this might be, but I know a lot of people who hark for the sentimental victory for a then rookie Senna in his plucky Toleman.

Liquid

Watched the 1988 San Marinese Grand Prix the other day and Riccardo Patrese had a nightmare. Marched towards the back of the pack and finished 2 laps down in a Williams. Gerhard Berger didn't do much better either, but was fortunate enough to clamber on to 5th place.

Indeed I am! And just to prove it, I'll mention a super secret code word... Toyota Camry 2.2

Now your Lola, Simtek and Andrea Moda avatars make a lot more sense.

A ROMed version of it, but GT2 none the less. Playstation never looked that good.

The only thing that annoys me about that picture is the Opel badging on the Vectra.

Liquid

Have GM ever taken an interest in F1 at all?

I would expect Volkswagen to come storming through if that was the case.

Liquid

Let's face it, Ferrari could do with Ross Brawn again. Especially when talking about someone having the 'final say'. The Scuderia have been known to get messed up in too many layers in the past. But it's doubtful. Brawn at Williams would be most intriguing though. Wonder if he could revive their der...

Gerhard Berger's win at the 1997 German Grand Prix was unusual in many ways. It was Berger's last win. It was Benetton's last win. Berger's first win was at Mexico 1986, the same race where he also took Benetton's first win. It was Benetton's only win as an Italian team. It was the first non-Ferrari...

Liquid

And Piquet's last three or four victories were all fortuitous, when the cars in front decided to asplode or crash and gift him the victories.

Taking nothing away from him, of course. He was a great racer in his day. Deserved much better in 1988; that Lotus was abominable.

Liquid

In Maldonado's favour, it's better to coach a quick but reckless driver to be less aggressive than it is to coach a pacifistic but slow driver to be quick.

Mark Webber turns up in a Red Bull X2010.

Eddie Irvine punched Senna back.

Can't see why Massa would want to go to Williams at all, apart from simply to stay in F1 if no other teams want him. And as they're a prestigious name in the sport's history I guess. Lots of parallels with Barrichello in that they were both long-running Ferrari #2s and are both likely to end their ...

Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton are Red Bull's two drivers in 2015.

This year wasn't their worst year, I'll more than admit that, but Alonso consistently flatters mediocre machinery. Never, since 2008, has a Ferrari come out of the box and looked like being able to secure the title. It's been a constant battle for them, for whatever reasons. For that, they're always...

What if Prost Grand Prix weren't so damn patriotic and ran a mile when they saw those Peugeot engines coming?

Hide, don't answer the phone, anything, just don't take those engines!

Bronze - McLaren A dismal campaign for the Woking outfit. Even Button couldn't nurse the car home with any real success. Silver - Mark Webber It's three years too late Mark. 2010 was win or bust. I do think Mark Webber is a highly talented driver, but never to the degree that he deserved a front ru...

Maybe an Andrea de Crasheris evaluation? The Katayama one was very good.

Liquid

If anything, the way that they casually elbowed Bruno aside for about a third of his allotted practise time to run Bottas instead suggests that they were aiming to replace him pretty much from the start, so if Williams want a driver out, they'll throw him out even if he does have backing. A dangero...

Liquid

Following on from the Jordan suggestion, I think similar articles for Lotus and Benetton would be equally interesting. They really were top teams, Lotus especially, and of course Benetton merely evolved into Renault/Enstone, (coincidentally now being called 'Lotus'), but comparing their 1995 season,...

See, it could be both for Argentina. Same goes for Luxembourg actually. Either Luxembourgish or Luxembourgean. I go for Luxembourgish because it's the closest to their own adjective Lëtzebuergesch .

Massa doesn't even deserve a pedalo, let alone a duff Williams.

Frank Williams must be lamenting the day he slagged off the BMW boys.

Aha, I do apologise. I've only even visited two portions of our little corner of the continent; my own country and In-gur-land. Must try harder to keep up with my Celtic brethren...

Anyway, pleased to be a member of the forums!

Nice.

I'm a bit of a fussy eater but what I've eaten so far has been good. We the British are the odd ones out in Europe, on the island detached from everyone else, so everything is different anyway but I've enjoyed it so far.

Also, I'd like to say that a better name for my own Tyrrell idea would be Tyrrell-ble.

Heh.
