Grand Prix Rejects

Ugh do we have to start this Autosportesque nonsense again?

Is that Bob Fernley, from Force India, the team that tried to block Manor from returning to the grid for their own financial gain? Yes. It's impressive that he clearly won't let something as mundane as looking like an hypocrite stand in the way of putting his point across. Nor should he, his hypocr...

LukeB

It's not really fair to him and it's hardly his fault but there's something particularly sad about being the only driver to finish and not score a point.
So Button. May suddenly be regretting actually fighting to keep his place at that wreck of a team.

The Aus GP had shown clearly the fundamental issues of current F1. 1) Any radical rule change, combined with he notorious ban of any testing or midseason development means that one team gonna dominate the sport until the next radical rule change. Now it's Mercedes, but it was Red Bull, McLaren, Ren...

LukeB

Seems appropriate that we've been turned into journeymen forumers.. Now if this thing can break down all the time we'd have a real too long staring into the abyss situation here.

Funnily enough those are the same reasons I always liked F1Rejects....

LukeB

I need this.

1) Lewisteria was coined before this forum appeared. The use of it pre-forum was limited to certain aspects of the media and the breathless coverage of a man with lots of potential that was as yet unfulfilled. Now it's a general shorthand for "I'm sick of hearing about Hamilton" which is ...

Well there was that short lived attempt at coining the phrase Whinelton.

Not Massa himself who done well, but Massas pit stop blunder for looking very silly in the best most entertaining way.

LukeB

Perez, a clumsy move that not only takes you out of the race but collects an entirely innocent third party minding his own business? Be still my beating heart.

LukeB

That Stoddart said that nine years ago and F1 has bumped along without getting much worse off leaves me far less inclined to believe in the doom and gloom. F1 has been about to keel over any second now for decades according to some people. It's not the first time smaller teams have gone to the wall,...

LukeB

None of the inevitable idiocy that every F1 season brings can match double points. Bickering drivers, media stirups, failing teams, dismal drivers, obnoxious fanboys, obnoxious complaining about obnoxious fanboys, we get these every year and none of them strike at the very core of the whole damn spo...

LukeB

Tarmac run offs, made the whole thing look like it was taking place in a car park.
The race itself had all the charm and excitement of a Valencia GP.

LukeB

The phenomenon of whining F1 drivers is hardly a new thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrS9RHMc-I
"We had alot of problems with the car..."

LukeB

Rosburgs Car, because in a dull race it's the only thing that caught my interest.

LukeB

Racing incident is a nebulous term and prone to being defined by which drivers are involved and who came off worse rather then what actually occurred.

LukeB

Chilton. I always have a soft spot for drivers that just bin it all on their own.

I can't tell if you're mocking me or if we are of one mind

LukeB

I changed my mind. Whinelton? Seriously? What are we, 12? - Actually that's unfair (well not about Whinelton being a dumb name), but you're taking a man that can will and is making a total pillock of himself yet again and acting like he ran over your dog. Ironically that's how some Hamilton fans are...

LukeB

Hamilton wasn't responsible for what happened to him but he is responsible for his reaction to it, and while it may have made sense to retire and save the engine and while I understand how frustrated he must have felt it's not something you want to hear from a man that's challenging for the champio...

LukeB

Grosjean, even the camera man was too embarrassed to watch.

You and me man, we're like this *crosses fingers*

Also I stopped watching F1 for a few years so I'm not up to speed, but does every ROTR thread now descend into bickering or is this a recent thing?

LukeB

The real reject is the same one it is every year, The Track itself for being a grotesque mockery of it's former glory.
For this year specifically though, well Sutil spinning all on his lonesome was pretty shambolic.

LukeB

The day a driver manages to cause an accident that red flags the race all on their lonesome without anyone else to blame and it's not considered reject worthy is the day we've really lost our way. Coming up with excuses on behalf of obscenely rich men who drive in circles for a living is taking the ...

LukeB

and a driver of his experience should know better than to re-enter the pack in such a way. Even if he couldn't have known that the bump was there, to blunder back into the path of cars at full speed in the manner that he did is simply dangerous, and if Vadim Kogay can be mocked for it, I do not see...

I'm not sure why you think wildly misrepresenting another persons position makes you more convincing...?

LukeB

Raikkonen. Dropped it all by himself, ruined Massas 200th GP, and caused a red flag along with the hour long delay on lap 1.

LukeB

Vettel with Red Bull as a whole only not making it because I prefer the failure of the individual to be recognised over the failure of the group.
Also a Raikonnen countdown timer needs to be started. Will he make it to the end of the season? Will anyone even notice if he does?

LukeB

Well I thought Massa but people seem to have taken his mess up weirdly personal in here so much safer to go with the man without a personality. Raikonnen, always overrated and now his career should just be over. Let someone good/interesting have their chance please.

LukeB

Comparing any and every team mate squabble to Prost/Senna is the F1 equivalent of sticking -Gate on the end of any and every scandal.

LukeB

Hamiltons inability to open his mouth without coming across as an utter pillock seems to be more an ongoing thing you'd hope he'd have grown out of by now rather then something specific to this race.
The Sauber drivers squandering a golden opportunity to score points on the other hand...

LukeB

Are we onto ROTR yet? WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEKEND TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF THE NEW X-MEN MOVIE HERE IN MONACO!

LukeB

Maldonado. Sauber have enough problems without some pillock flipping their cars over.

LukeB

The hilarious shambles of Ricciardos race is the most rejectful thing this weekend and I look forward to what brand new disasters he manages to discover in Bahrain. God speed you living vortex of bad luck, god speed.... I'd like to see Ricciardo not score a point all season for increasingly outlandi...

LukeB

When did drivers stop being members of the team?

LukeB

"Writing in the Daily Mail newspaper"
Well I'm sure as hell dissapointed in Murray

LukeB

I've been looking for an excuse to dump F1, and came up with 3 things that will do it for me. 1. Flavio Briatore is allowed back in 2. The medal system is used 3. It goes to pay-tv. Thank you F1, I have my weekends back. The only question now, do I bother with the rest of this season since it's pret...
