Grand Prix Rejects

...If Force India had had their name change, this would have actually been an interesting season. Instead... not so much. Well, in the end they not only had a name change! Does that make them eligible for 2019 after their DSQ? Taking McLaren's 2008 as an example, Force India would be eligible on ac...

I was there in 2012. It was alright. Nah, it was great, one of the few tracks left on the calendar where you can get properly close to the action, and there's a real sense of history just being there (90 years next year, that should be special). You would do well in looking at staying in Nice and th...

I didn't even know the Raidillon thing was a meme. I had noticed an increase in people correcting it though, to the point where I began to wonder if it's really a misconception or if most people don't actually care seeing as it's only a difference of a few dozen metres of track length. And rightly s...

Wasnt sure where was best to post this but whilst I'm a fan of the current numbering system, I was wondering which teams would have what numbers if it was to change back to the pre 1996 season, so I had a thought about it: Working with what we have championship-wise, we'd end up looking at the foll...

I had intended to get back on this (my drafts folder looks like this and, yes, most of those is a different misconception), and a certain video game released in the year 2000 that I discovered I cannot "play" (if that's the right word. "Research" might be more appropriate) got me...

If this is happening, ten drivers wouldn't be anywhere near enough to do anybody any justice, especially for the BSCC era. I'd suggest a top 32 (believe me, it's doable).

(Also, this is in the wrong thread, but if I try to move the posts into the appropriate one, things might break...)

Mario nailed it. Vettel's the obvious candidate, but it was the product of a common theme up and down the pitwall.

Latifi might want to try a change of car .... I have a fondness for Sergio Canamasas (yes..really) so I'd like to see him back.. more realistically will someone pay for Ilott, or Zhou, or Mazepin to step in? Has to be Cecotto Jr. It'll be his tenth (partial or full) season! I know who it is... It's...

Very well then. Team Name: Vanuatu (VAN) Driver 1: HWNSNBM (it's not like there can't two of Him) Driver 1 Number: 12 Which Car? It was a Ford that brought Him into the F1 world, so it shall be a Ford that He will use to strike down any and all opposition He meets here (except for His Hungarian bret...

ATTENTION ANY ITALIAN SPEAKERS: Our very own WaffleCat is writing a profile on the Tecno team that competed in F1 in 1972-73, which should hopefully make for fantastic reading. Through his research, he's found a very detailed Autosprint article from late-1971 about their then-upcoming F1 entry. The...

As utterly stupid as he was, Santino Ferrucci shouldn't be a serious nominee. I'd suggest changing it to either the DRS zone through Abbey, or Sauber. Why not? Off-track drama got ROTR back in the old days more than once, so I do not see why a F2 driver should not be eligible to receive ROTR. We mu...

Four options up for the next 48 hours. There were a lot of popular suggestions, and so I tried my best to narrow it down to the best four. Once again, sorry if yours wasn't on the list. Get voting As utterly stupid as he was, Santino Ferrucci shouldn't be a serious nominee. I'd suggest changing it ...

Ahem.

Eight of you were correct, it was indeed Mercedes who won the 1914 French Grand Prix, as the merger with Daimler was still a decade away. Due to the state of European politics at this time, the Lautenschlager win did not go down well with the French spectators... Oh, and Mercedes won Reject of the R...

It looked very close for a while there, but Haas F1 Team have won the Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race award! Over to Rob to see how this affects Predicament Predictions...

The following teams have been re-assigned: VA Racing Academy - Bandon23 West Racing Formula - Pilot8 Viva Automobile - CarloSpace Falcon Motorsport - Gertrand Bachot Calinetic Junior Squad - Dexter249 I've also decided to just give the 26th car to Viva. So, as before, the five of you need to finish ...

With this new entry from an existing team owner, the following rules will be introduced: - No direct cash transfers between teams are permitted unless the money is being offered in exchange for equipment or the services of a driver. - In the event of an exchange of this nature, there will be a minim...

If it's okay to enter a one car independent team - Welshman Christopher Roberts (born 13/04/1946) would like to enter the series for the full season. If accepted, he'll bid £100k for the Token RJ02 chassis 1/engine. (I'm really sorry I didn't realise there was a deadline) Also, I would like to offi...

Continuing from the ROTR thread...

I'm curious... what did Ferrucci senior do?

1. Santino Ferrucci - Acted like a complete arsewipe all weekend in F2. He deliberately drove into the back of the same driver in both races. It gets even better, because that driver was Arjun Maini...who happens to be Ferrucci's team mate at Trident! His response on Twitter is something else entir...

I want to briefly mention two relatively inconsequentual cock-ups: 1. The list of Silverstone facts showing that it hosted the first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1950 (Rantbox post on this particular factoid incoming when I have the time) 2. Ben Edwards mentioning that Luigi Villoresi won the 1948 B...

Infinite Improbability nominations here please.

Let's hear those nominations...

Murray Walker doing a Back to the Future tribute with shitty CGI may be the most baffling framing device I've seen for a pre-race feature...

So, the race is tomorrow.

So, who won: Romain Grosjean: Finished ahead of Magnussen to score not only his first points of the year, but the highest-ever finish for the Haas team. Haas: Alternatively, both drivers stayed out of trouble and took home a massive points haul to leap two places in the constructors' championship. M...

It's time for the British Grand Prix and Rob is off somewhere, so I've taken matters into my own hands. Plenty of great nominations all around, but I've had to narrow it down to four. You know what to do, you have 48 hours.

Now that I've returned from the (steaming hot...?!) Baltic lands and caught up with the Austrian Grand Prix, I wonder... ...will the A1/Red Bull Ring ever be lapped by an F1 car in under a minute? I think it will be decades (or maybe just one decade) before we see that happen. It seems that F1 is n...

Why, are Red Bull cleaning house as well?

And now, it's time for this long-awaited auction. Here are the rules: - You can only place a bid that is greater than or equal to the minimum price displayed for each item below. - The prices shown are for the complete car, i.e. including both chassis and engine. - Every time someone bids on an item...

I still need to hear from seven people, which is more than there are on the waiting list, so I'm extending this by another week.

The Haas drivers put in a kind of performance we've seen before already this year and benefitted from retirements, whilst Ericsson was racing with "future youngest Ferrari driver since Ricardo Rodríguez" Charles Leclerc right at the end. I know who I'd pick.

I'm going to say Mercedes for blatantly sabotaging Valtteri's race so a British driver can win the championship.

Good news, hopefully the traffic won't be awful for Silverstone next week, but I'm not getting my hopes up. The traffic for a normal Grand Prix weekend is usually bad, but only within a few kilometres of the circuit, and even then it's usually managed pretty efficiently. Giraurd being able to reach...

We'll go for the same as New Zealand and our number will be 98 (as in winners of the 1998 World Cup).

Team Name: Cook Islands (COK)
Driver 1: David Napa (FICTIONAL)
Driver 2: We don't have the funding for a second driver

. Yeah, after hearing the news that Simtek needs another team to take a second car, I thought I should offer my driver for the seat. Any offer is welcome. as long as they're willing to run a 30-year-old American with no professional experience. (i.e. B.K. Glover) I'll also settle for a 23-year-old ...

Simtek, do we post testing plans for DECs under contract at other teams, or is that handled by the team managers? Team managers only. I wasn't aware rookies could enter the test (how does that even work) Although looking back, the wording does seem ambiguous, it does say Unlike last year, you can c...
