Grand Prix Rejects

Nice, even better than how I imagined it :')

Well I guess Ricciardo's wins were already benefiting from Mercedes mishaps, while Bottas was often on the podium behind the Mercedes. So removing the front team would promote Bottas rather than Ricciardo.

Vergne's leaving Toro Rosso it's been announced.

You're a bad person and you should feel bad :p

Sounds like I have the psychological edge over you at the moment

Jensationalism, I'm remembering that one for the future

Not to get above my station here, but a suggestion was put up a few months ago about getting regular forum-users into a group with the intention of writing our own post-race reviews, much like the main website did up until 2011. Articles for the Centrale section were also suggested along with this. ...

Now that you mention it, I do recall an interview last year with somebody saying Ecclestone had personally recommended to Hamilton to move to Mercedes.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon someone high up let Hamilton know about the design advantage the Mercs would have this season. Only a hunch, but it would make sense. There was obviously a serious incentive for Hamilton to leave his nest at McLaren. At the end of the day the car was som...

2014 was a fresh page for the first three quarters in my eyes. The championship was still exciting, regardless of the team dominance, and it's had everyone talking to the last lap. However, throughout there's been underlying negativity in various forms. At the beginning of the year when double point...

On the site when they have the overview they used to have a mini 3rd 2nd 1st summary at the bottom of the page. This year they should have that, and the text beside 1st should be dinizintheoven's post.

I said a few days back that it would be funny if Caterham wasn't fast enough to qualify. Well I will happily eat my own words together with a slice of humble pie and say that right now Caterham's quali and race pace is getting my IIDOTR award. Kobayashi was in 15th for a significant time towards the...

I nominate the creation of an Elizabethan drama thread to avoid the weighing down of such posts in the Marussia thread

This grid was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Is that last line... ...Don McLean?
If so you should be posting in the music thread

Karthikeyan or Yamamoto would make me happy

I'd love to see them not qualify within 107% after all this time

it would be like good old Kolles.

I mean, has there been any development on that Caterham since Russia, or even Japan when the factory started losing bits? Will the car be fast enough to qualify on Saturday?

Trulli was on pole at Spa 2004. That race is remembered for the incredible movement through the field by Raikkonen, the looming threat of Schumacher throughout, the sudden burst of speed by Alonso which was tragically ended by problems, the even more tragic problems for Zonta as he nearly scored maj...

I completely concur with the trend here actually (ain't so unpopular after all) that Rosberg must win on double points to make this year complete Also I'd love to see Caterham come back and Ericsson finish 7th, to put Caterham in front of even Lotus. The money from the 12 points and the 8th in the c...

I suggest we nuke F1 from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.

I missed Driven?
Well I guess that's it then... *gunshot*

Anyone else waiting for Briatore to announce the new alternative racing series to F1? With Alonso signed for one of the teams

I feel like this has all been bubbling under the surface until the Japanese Grand Prix. This whole year has had great racing, but it's been coupled with a huge amount of bitterness. The amount of controversy and financial ruin that's enveloped the sport this year has been unbelievable, and the horri...

stahp, guys, stahp!

Not gonna lie, my only experience is from him taking over at Williams, then Williams being in the doldrums for years. Then he moves to McLaren, and McLaren have their worst years in ages. I've never exactly thought he was all that good, and at least his record to me shows that he is associated with ...

Silly question: what's happening to the forum? Years upon years of inane posting is finally taking its toll on the forum servers. On that note, Rob, I would like to congratulate you on your 69th post! If anything will leave a lasting impression on me from this forum, it will be that post! I can onl...

Silly question: what's happening to the forum?

My ugly car award 2004-2014 2014: Force India - Euuch, disgusting! People think this is a good livery? 2013: Sauber - It's soo gray. At least the contrasting black & white of previous years looked ok. 2012: Marussia & Caterham - While HRT had one of my all-time favourite liveries, and chang...

<In West Coast hippie stereotype> You don't know man, I've seen it! It's a conspiracy to try and keep us down!

So F1Rejects is the refuge camp for the unwanted F1Fanatic commenters? XD

I'm pretty sure I got banned from F1 Fanatic. I used to post as "Prisoner Monkeys", but stirred up controversy when I criticised Raikkonen one time too many, and point out the flaws in the arguments of people attacking Bernie. You were "Prisoner Monkeys"? I am shocked! Honestly,...

To be honest, I thought F1 Fanatic discussions were OK whenever Hamilton wasn't in a fight for the title (which is pretty much the entire time I was an active user there). I stopped around this time last year because 1.) I didn't have a lot of time to contribute to anything because I was focusing o...

While the race wasn't that interesting, I was seriously impressed with the track layout. Turn 3 in particular was awesome, especially when they were able to take the entire thing 2 wide and still remain wheel to wheel. Can't believe F1Fanatic are calling it "Worse than Valencia" and then ...

Toro Rosso. Their qualifying pace has always been better than their race pace through history. But man

I feel like Joey eating Rachel's trifle. "I liked it!"

The said aging Coulthard was handily matching Webber in 2007, at least - Webber, who still was considered quite promising and skilled at the time. The scoresheet hides the fact that Webber had so many reliability problems in that 2007 car during the races. He was well ahead of Coulthard in terms of...

My nominations - haven't decided yet on an order and more may turn up - are: - Kimi Raikkonen : the late John Fortune once said: "Lacklustre's not the right word...catastrophically hopeless?" - Ferrari : big rule change actually made them worse than they were before. Wow. Also has lost the...

Mercedes will test the concept of three-car teams this race with guest star Bernt Maylander.

I feel like Colin Kolles is a "Darth Sideous"-type figure who has planned and foreseen all these events in a master plan that would leave him Supreme Chancellor in the Caterham domain, to turn it into Forza Rossa, the First Romanian Empire! - I mean uh - Entrant!...team entrant! Too much S...

How many parsecs do you reckon she can do the Kessel Run in? I bet she can do less than 12... And, of course, I guess I have to be "that person" who points out that the parsec is an astronomical unit of length rather than speed... Someone also noted that inaccuracy in the Family Guy adapt...

No-one is more surprised than me that Kamui's gotten this far. Famous last words, but at least he's going to be able to do his home race before either he's replaced or the team withdraw, which is nice. Unfortunately, though foregone conclusions have been thrown back in everyone's faces this year at ...
