Grand Prix Rejects

Caterham easily. Shambles even though Ericsson did alright.

Can't fault on Putin. World stage and stuff.
Nothing wrong with the track
Rosberg made a comeback.

Nothing else I can think of.

1. Rosberg
2. Putin? I guess first ever head of state I can remember to present the trophy and also seemed less awkward than Bernie.

What is worse than this race? The people whining about the track. Geez

I don't really get why people get so purist about tracks. Yeah there are classic tracks but they aren't like godly as everyone puts them out to be. I love the Abu Dhabi circuit, I liked Korea and Valencia, I like Sochi as well and I do love Suzuka, Monza, Spa and such. In saying that F1 is a global ...

Ehhh I'm not keen on touching Olympic heritage for F1.

In a way Alonso reminds me of LeBron James. Like they should have more than two championship because of great they are but they just have 2 championships and people will hold it against them. I wouldn't be like Alonso to take a sabbatical. I mean he drove with Renault for two seasons before going to...

I am looking forward to Russian GP. It should be boss. I mean Russia has hosted football, tennis and the Winter Olympics, so they do a fine job regardless of all the political and human rights issues that happen in the country

RIP.

Such a shame. He was such a well loved driver and a good driver. It is really unfortunate.

1. Vergne
2. Err umm Ericsson?

We all hope that Bianchi is okay. I mean that's the main concern and it is understandable about the helicopter due to medical conditions.

I meant couldn't. I was aware of the issues I just made a typo.

Too bad we could have had the race on Monday or even Saturday but that's how it is. So it will be cancelled if it pisses down like it is now then Abu Dhabi is more important than ever.

According to Adam Cooper - "Can confirm that yesterday the FIA offered the organizers the opportunity to start the race as early as 11am"

"The organisers, ie Honda, did not want to move, even by an hour. Officially it is their choice, not the FIA's, not Bernie's"

Obviously Massa is asking the tough questions to Alonso - Caterham or Marussia?

JEV according to F1's twitter site is now starting 21st due to an engine change.

Alonso has surely put himself in bad spot by not announcing his plans earlier. What we know is that Mercedes, Red Bull have confirmed their lineup so those spots are full. That leaves him option of joining Mclaren or staying at Ferrari. As I said earlier Ferrari wanted to keep Alonso and Raikkonen....

So Basically

17. Grosjean
18. Ericsson
19. Bianchi
20. Kobyaashi
21. Chilton
22. Maldonado with 5 grid spots to be lost at Sochi?

Apparently it carries over from what I read. Can anyone confirm?

Would be lol if Ferrari dumps Raikkonen for someone like Bianchi or a Grosjean but Raikkonen will stay.

Horner got a text after dinner last night from Seb saying "can I see you in my room"

I don't know why that sounds funny. Oh wait I do.

F1's official twitter said Raikkonen and Vettel to Ferrari but quickly deleted it.

If you CTRL-F the word 'crash' on there it finds 23 matches

Collided only 5. That's shocking.

I think Ferrari should buyout Maldonado's contract. 2016 WDC Champ ftw. I wonder where Grosjean fits. I've been thinking McLaren is the most likely chance but Ferrari may not be out of the question considering how good he was last season. However I doubt Ferrari wants Bianchi to be snatched up elsew...

As much as I love Suzuka I'm currently pondering the full horror of another race weekend of '89 & '90 Senna/Prost montages intercut with 2014 scenes of the couple I now refer to as "HamilBerg". <shudder> "It happened famously with Senna and Senna's teammate Alain Prost back 25 ye...

Never heard 'The Goo' before. Ahhh I feel sorry for him but then again he is driving in F1 and I'm not. Still I think he would have massively benefited from in-season testing but that's life.

I wonder how good Gutierrez, Bottas and so on would be without testing limitations especially the Guti.

Not content to have sold their soul, the South Koreans now want to sell their Seoul: m It took me a lot longer to think of that pun than I care to admit. I think it would be better for F1 to go to Seoul. I mean it is a booming first world economy, the city is one of the biggest business hubs in the...

Woo first time doing this. I'm surprised no one picked this up yet. Lotus pit crew Reason - Pitted Maldonado during the Safety Car period but kind of put the wrong tires, so good old Pastor had to come back in to get the right tires. I mean how does a team do that? Even though it made no difference ...

New User. Always been a lurker somewhat.

Been watching F1 since 2001 thanks to good old Ralf Schumacher. From there been a fan of Alonso and various amounts of drivers and such. Not much else to say but I basically watch every sport kind of.
