Grand Prix Rejects

The fact all these drivers are getting named suggests they're not forgettable. The truly forgettable ones are the ones you're not naming because you just can't remember them.

It's obvious to me Michael Schumacher could have raced. It's just the prospect of his comeback wasn't selling as many tickets as Bernie would have liked. They needed someone that would draw in the crowds upon their return. Someone with the sort of star quality that comes with 48 starts without a poi...

The budget cap is good, but it should be for everyone or no-one. This optional thing with technical freedoms is dodgy IMO.

Cleverly done, but she sounds terrible!

Also, he would have scored some points by now if it wasn't for some Ferrari incompetence and unreliability.

No.

BMW for obvious reasons, they were piss poor if I'm honest, really falling behind now.

If not them, Nakajima for being off Rosberg's pace once more, for spinning Kubica and then for being the only retirement.

Hey guys...I've been lurking for a long time but felt the need to break cover to answer a question you posed in the Chinese podcast. The question was 'when was the last time we saw a team go P1 and P2 on their maiden victory?' You should not be surprised to know it was only two events prior with th...

I think any rookie American who signs for USF1 would leave the sport as a reject.

I'd like to see Pacific myself. They already have a website. Maybe that's the true reason for them never having taken it offline, they've been planning their return...

Maybe they should try Visa sponsorship this time.

I think this does kick off a bigger debate though. Which other reject teams would we like to see returning to F1?

In response to your question about why cars had KERs energy at the start.

Teams are allowed to charge up KERs before the race in the garage

Well McLaren disqualified from Melbourne.

Seems like Martin Whitmarsh made a right mess of this!

I think this could be where we see the golden arches in F1.

Listening to your Melbourne Sunday podcast right now, and whilst I agree Vettel didn't deserve a 10 place penalty for the racing incident, I think he had it coming to him due to his willingness to take the responsibility so quickly.

Was anyone disappointed with Allen's replacement? He spoke too much, made many mistakes and seemed clueless as to what was happening most the time (at one point he even said "Barrichello 4th, Raikkonen 4th, claiming 2 drivers to be 4th within a second of each other) He even seems to have some A...

I think Mark Webber should get ROTR. Desperately unlucky, but no where at his home race once again.
