Grand Prix Rejects

Jeez its been years since I posted on here. I've very briefly returned to say that as an F1 Rejects fan who likes his metal music (but who is also a bit uneducated on Scandinavian metal), The Hammer of Retribution Ogg-Cast sounds like something I should start listening to! Cheers!

USING DOUBLE POINTS

Time for new talent. I think people like Willis are trading on reputation really these days. He's likely to be a safe bet, but Mercedes need results in the next 2 seasons otherwise the higher-ups are going to get nervous. Agreed 100%. A past of success doesn't mean that you can still perform at you...

So my success have been minor and also my last, after realising media is somewhat of a dead end in terms of employment I've decided to study IT from now on. Wise guy!

Anyway, the teams are apparently none too pleased because they really want F1 on Free to air so their sponsors get more coverage (and pay them more). Hopefully FOTA will kick up a nice fuss soon before it's too late to save next season. This is the main reason I thought we would never see F1 leave ...

I thought the mistake with GGGRRRRRSSSSSSSSSJJJJJJJJJJJNNNNNNNNN in '09 was the fact that he came in mid-season and struggled to get to grips with the car.

Not using double points

Tealy

I think its a case of the super reliability of modern F1 causing us to all want drivers to be punished more for small mistakes. Though I have to agree that run off areas have perhaps gotten a little too forgiving in recent years it would be a disaster to make a turn more punishing only for a major a...

Tealy

I found it infinitely improbable, for a number of reasons. I understand the concept of the thread, and at the end of the day that is my opinion. To be fair I didn't think Heidfeld or Kobayashi's races were pretty surprising, despite the quality of their drives. So I chose Lewis and Seb 'at the end ...

I think the limits are discussed in the drivers breifing. Not fully related, but I think Hamilton should also have got a reprimand for squeezing Massa towards the pitlane, including pitcrew after Massa's release alongside him. We saw Vettel do this in China 2010, and I think it's a bad precedent to...

Tealy

Stating the obvious I know but Button was punished for overtaking Massa whilst off the track in Melbourne. I think in general the stewards are more lenient these days than in years past and I for one am pleased as a result. I hate seeing drivers penalised constantly.

Tealy

And I wanted to follow Kobayashi's progess, esp. when we saw him up to 5th or 6th place, then later on you see him on the chart in 17th with no explanation, and only today did we find out he had to make an unexpectedly early stop after his rub with Buemi (who I also don't remember seeing except for...

Massa drives like me playing F1 2010. Amazing on certain tracks, absolutely rubbish on others and he has a terrible tendency to spin a lot particularly in the rain

Is it possible that the experimental ultra durable tyres that they were trying out in Malaysia (FP1 and FP2 I believe) could be used or are they committed to the 4 compounds they submitted at the start of the season?

I don't wish to appear stupid, nor to reduce my chances in the championship, but I'm only able to discern 12 points from my predictions, yet I'm listed as having 13.

Mario is the defending champ. Tealy is the champion from 2009.

Looking at that, it's no wonder that he was struggling so much - if anything, I'm surprised that he didn't retire from the race altogether. But at the same time, Petrov made him look like ... well, Petrov al weekend. Well, perhaps Heidfeld can do better in the next race with a bit more luck. Being ...

also the: Fluke Did Not Qualify category. What does happen when a respectable team doesn't make the 107% due to crash out or severe changing weather conditions anyway?

Come on then, how did the lad manage that? I'm guessing he isn't superhuman- we had Webber and Alonso chewing up Pirellis so quickly they 3-stopped and their laptimes fell away 10 laps after the change. Meanwhile Perez keeps a near constant race pace on two sets of tyres for 58 laps that everyone h...

Actually you might be right there but I don't understand the calls to make the DRS much more powerful when everyone was complaining about the potential for articficial overtaking before. I'll be happpy if they leave it as it is for now.

Completely agree. We seem to finally have a strong pairing of commentators.

Is it just me who thought the DRS worked quite well? It's a small assist, not a "push to pass" device and I thought it did it's job well.

Overall for me it wasn't an exciting race but it was an interesting one and I enjoyed it.
