Grand Prix Rejects

muttley

F1 airs all of its races in time slots that are far more friendly to North and South American viewers. But abandons the idea mid season due to those in Asia and Australia complaining Gary Paffet finally realises that he will never get a F1 drive so he tries out Destruction Derbies in Alabama. Kamui...

Look at those arms.

at least he's not trying to sell us shoes

Well done Enoch! Maybe we'll see Ralf vs. Michael-style antics in 2037

Well, if you look at Webber's starts this season, it looks like Aussie drivers do

I have to disagree with virtually everyone in this thread. I miss Robert Kubica a lot. Every week, I google his name and check his website to try and get updates on his condition, mostly finding interviews where Boullier flip-flops on weather or not he will be in the car this year. I want Robert Ku...

1. Schumacher
2. Button

they had similar races: started very low on the grid, and passed whoever was in front of them. Superb!

He ran into Kobayashi at the Bus Stop and had to pit to change the front wing. Very rejectful performance by Rubinho.

Bruno Senna pulls a Hamilton at the first corner to ruin his (and Alguersuari's) race.

Rubens Barrichello beaten by his team mate, and ramming into Kobayashi at the Bus Stop was quite pedestrian.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqZBJCFS_Ng -- amazing video, I wish to share it with you. The drifting is awesome!

Tora Takagi. He wasn't that bad for a japanese rookie, but then he disappeared to the States.

Well, La Source could have been designed by Tilke. And he did a good job with Kurtköy

Actually Alex Caffi qualified 3rd in Hungary in 1989, so the car wasn't THAT bad.

Usually, I find Jarno's column for Repubblica not that good (he's not a very good writer), but this time he gives a painful insight on how it feels like driving for a rejectful team (my translation): ...I overtook Glock, I was catching up and about to change to slicks, when a suspension piece broke....

Well, he could end up at Team Fondmetal Malaysia next year, I think Jarno is on his way out at the end of this season.

Felipe Massa made it at the last lap in Q1 and spun his car immediately after leaving the pits in Q3. I wonder what he must be going through in his mind.

muttley

Oh my goodness, it will be terrible! We would go back to the 70s, when March had a political stranglehold on F1 with all those customer chassises sold!

muttley

What I also don't understand is why people only focus on F1. Before WWII there were many interesting (and deadly) races and great drivers too! Nuvolari, Caracciola, Rosemeyer were great not only in fast short races but in endurance races too (Le Mans, Mille Miglia, Targa Florio etc.).

muttley

Well, tbh, with a brake failure there, you are pretty much doomed anyway, Look at the image again. Specifically, look at the numbering of the corners. The first turn becomes the last turn, because the circuit is now run in reverse. Any brake failures under the grandstand will be at relatively low s...

No. I think the previous poster did mean the SNP. I.e. a separatist(ish) party for the North of the Country. He's not meaning to imply any disrespect or criticism of the SNP but making a comparison to what it could be like IF it were run by racist morons. (Which the BNP could easily be accused of, ...

And then the arrows sling back... If there's an italian reader on here, you minus well grant yourself as the only italian reader on F1 Rejects. I ask you this: Do you like Jenson Button? Well, he seems like a decent guy to me. I think he was more than an accidental WDC than a bona fide champion, bu...

1. ROTR goes obviously to Ferrari for its poor choice of strategy, although...
2. ...the track gets the second place. It looks cool and I like the pits tunnel, but yesterday there were less overtakes than Monaco, but also less shunts than Monaco. Abu Dhabi is boring!

muttley

1) well done to Renault and Petrov in particular. They played the role of the kingmaker yesterday, by holding up Alonso and Hamilton
2) Alguersuari

muttley

The late 90s/early 00s will be dominated by Jordan drivers, I think. Tiago Monteiro FTW!!!

Oops, fixed.

The enjoyment of this video can be improved only if you understand the language: italian with a very heavy sicilian accent. But the body language alone and the tension between the driver and the navigator are priceless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hti86V1aifc Here's a rough translation. Navigator...

If this happens (it won't), we can say goodbye to the Brazilian GP. I can foresee teams not wanting to run there anymore

muttley

Funnily enough, Alonso is really starting to remind me of Piquet sr more and more, esp. if he wins a third title. A total prick who bosses around his teammates, gives a particular team their last titles, with the team dropping out of title contention after he leaves, switches to a top team and beco...

De Angelis - Alboreto at Ferrari 1985

Impossible pipe dream: Schumacher staying at Jordan pairing up with Barrichello or Irvine, and Nannini not having an helicopter crash winning the WDC with Benetton in 1994.

I saw them too. I guess that's the effect of the floodlights that somehow makes the flames visible.

1. Robert Kubica for 5 truly inspired laps at the end of the race where he made bold but fair overtaking manouvres and made them stick. Lewis, take some notes!
2. Williams a solid race and a double point finish.

1. German TV Pundits for living in a make-believe world where Alonso was going to have problems with hard tires and Vettel was going to overtake him.

My goodness, Kubica is really on fire!
