Grand Prix Rejects

That actually may not be so far from the truth. Apparently, as part of Channel 4’s contract, Sky has put in the provisos that they are not allowed to do interviews in the interview area, they aren’t allowed to do grid walks and the race is only supposed to be 50-60% of the broadcast show. Shockingly...

Right, pay close attention: 2000: Michael Schumacher wins his third world title. 1991: Ayrton Senna wins his third world title. 2012: Sebastian Vettel wins his third world title. 1973: Jackie Stewart... 1984: Niki Lauda... 1955: Juan Manuel Fangio... 1966: Jack Brabham... 1987: Nelson Piquet... 198...

Spa springs to mind...

1) Mclaren - keep looking forward to Austria Ron!

2) Grosjean - well that was a bit clumsy, wasn't it?

1) Beaver - the highlight of the race.

2) Massa a nice, clean and exciting race from the back.

Kvyat.

Sainz.

Mercedes strategist(s) - doh!

Williams - oh dear.

Mclaren. Wow.

Just wow.

1) Raikkonen - a long overdue return to form.

2) Nasr - making a strong bid for Rookie of the Year.

1) Maldonado - surely the TV cameras now follow him out if a sense of morbid curiosity.

2) Button's Mclaren - not even a Button fan, but that was a bit naff.

1) Verstappen - it wasn't his fault the engine went boom.

2) Mclaren - seem to be developing at a great rate of knots. Should be aiming to get one car in second qualifying next time out.

1) Red Bull - the less charitable part of me would be enjoying their decline if it weren't for the fact I genuinely like Riccardo.

2) Maldonado - while the final accident was undoubtedly Button's fault, The Reverend drove like a plum up to that point.

Dishonourable mentions
- Button
- Renault

For sheer comedy value, it has to be Ericsson.

Dishonourable mention to Red Bull - hope they can halt the decline, as their drivers deserve better than this.

1) Vettel - not his biggest fan, but he wiped the floor with an over-confident Mercedes team. Good job.
2) Raikkonen - unlucky, but blimey, what a recovery! Imagine what he could have done without the first lap issues.

Something that struck me earlier - is 2015 the first season where two different F1 teams have fielded driver pairings consisting of two former F1 World Champions? I suddenly thought now, if Rosberg would have won it last year, we would have three teams with driver pairings consisting of World Champ...

Well done for posting some Tullness. And respect and lifelong friendship for putting Thick as a Brick at No.1, I love that album. Bravery award for including Chateau; by the way, Passion Play would be in my top ten, it's actually a very good album IMHO. And a barefaced cheek award (lifelong friends...

Perhaps Ferrari's 2014 season was all done under cover of an SEP field.

By a staggering coincidence, on the website Rate Your Music, I'm known as Agrajag.

I actually liked the walrus-nosed Williams - I thought it very brave and innovative.

Apparently JEV has signed on as Ferrari development driver - what chance of him partnering Vettel in 2016?

Okay, maybe not...

My avatar is simply a celebration of my favourite moment in F1 history - Vittorio Brambilla elatedly celebrating his only F1 victory, despite having smashed off the front of his March as he passed the chequered flag in Austria way back in 1975. Got to be one of the best F1 moments. I always used to...

My avatar is simply a celebration of my favourite moment in F1 history - Vittorio Brambilla elatedly celebrating his only F1 victory, despite having smashed off the front of his March as he passed the chequered flag in Austria way back in 1975.

And after all the wait, I can't say I agree with the decision made.

Mclaren / Dennis has gone the safe route, instead of doing the brave thing and taking a punt on youth and potential.

Prior to the non-decision by the board, I kind of had the feeling that Honda wanted Jenson to stay at Mclaren for the next couple of years due to their previous association, whereas Ron wanted him out due to the fact Jenson was a high-profile acquisition by Martin Whitmarsh - Whitmarsh always shower...

How about Ian Scheckter's career ? I can remember that he did that full season for March once, but not much else. Nobody has a chance of fame when you're teammate to the great Alex Ribeiro I've seen footage of Scheckter spin off in Austria back in '77. Anonymous he may have been, but graceful with ...

Not much of a story really. I'm a chap of medium height with a 48" chest and I spend my leisure time rambling the pathless moorland near where I live. A colleague encountered me up there one day and decided that I was in his words, "Like a unstoppable small hairy tank". During the res...

Thank you for the welcome folks . To be honest I never made The Matrix connection - it was just an amusing nickname I gained a while ago!

Newly joined the forum after years lingering in the shadows. Have followed F1 since late 1994 and been visiting the F1 rejects website since 2005. I don't tend to support specific teams or drivers, but inevitably have a soft spot for the various minnows of the sport. Beyond F1, I have a general inte...
