Fantastic drive by Petrov. It is far too easy to dismiss him as a rent a driver, but he is actually quite competent. Sad to say, but imagine if Kubica was in the other car rather than Nick ZZZZZZZZZZZfest...

I thought the race was dull and I went back to bed after 27 laps. Just watched the second half which wasn't much better.

But - one positive was Brundle and Coulthard. They did a good job. I'm surprised Hamilton didn't get the black and orange flag though.

Personally, I am fed up with how downmarket - and expensive - Autosport has become. I have however found a better (and cheaper) alternative. It is called GP+ and is an E-Magazine written by an excellent team after every race. If you have £25 to spare, I suggest you give it a whirl. At the moment, yo...

I didn't realise you could get into the Paddock until later (it was my first time there after all) so I didn't get any photos of him in person sadly. However, he is in Mini number 26 in this shot - chasing after two american Mustangs in a bloody mini! It was a shame he broke down after two laps. Ton...

I went to Oulton Park in the UK today for a historic race meeting with classic touring and sportscars (as well as some Formula Fords - my pictures of the event here: m) Anyway, I was down by the hairpin when the circuit announcer said "and in car number 6, we have former Grand Prix Driver ROBER...

It is a great podcast - if only because it involves Nigel Roebuck - the greatest F1 author of all time IMHO. I have a subscription to their magazine, it's always a great read. I used to think that Nigel is the man until I realised that he is f-ing critic of the small teams (listen to/read their 201...

As the Beastie Boys once said:

"You (I was born the same year as) love Mario Andretti cause he always drives his car well"

The Brian Redman episode is also hilarious. "Right Lad. You're winner!"

I seem to recall I wrote in to the podcast to say that the Renault R29 looked like it had been made out of a cross between lego, modeling clay and a deckchair. Enoch actually thought it was a nice looking car. I hear the van with square wheels is on the way...

Adelaide 1994

Cheating-bastard-gate (no - us Brits don't dwell on it at all. But Damon should have won it).

I don't know if I will be banned for posting a link to another podcast (hope not). However, I have discovered the motorsport magazine podcast recently and it is very good if you are interested in the history of F1. I couldn't resist posting a link to this interview with Patrick Head, which includes ...

As Murray walker said, when the doors opened revealing Martin Brundle in 1984...

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always thought that the Lambo was a remarkable looking car. Martin Brundle once said that a good looking car is rarely slow - whereas a slow car is often pig ugly (see Damon Hill's 1992 Brabham). The Lambo was classy. I particularly like the sidepods. Remember that Lola from 1997? That hit every b...

I don't know about everyone else, but I am hacked off with us starting the championship in Bahrain. I used to love getting up early in the morning to watch proceedings at Albert Park - it was alway a ritual of mine every March to get up at some ungodly hour. And nine times out of ten, we have had a ...

Nick Heidfeld



A horse.

I can't see them sticking with Bruno Senna - I have never thought he was that special. The way I see it, it is probably a good bet for them to take a risk on a young superstar in the making - take him on uber cheap and then use him to ditch Petrov mid season. Surely Heidfeld can't come back again? W...

I was going to say Larousse, but having looked them up I am shocked to see they actually scored about 20 points. I could only recall Aguri San's efforts in Japan back in 1990. As for Toleman, Warwick scored 9 points for them in that old dog double wing thing in 1983. My favourite Montiverdi story is...

Hey everyone - Gary Slevin here, sometime contributor to F1 Rejects. I thought it was about time I started posting rather than lurking! I was so sad when I heard about Robert. If they guy was to get a decent car under him, he would have a very good crack at the championship I am sure. Along with Ha...

Hello me hearties! I'm not a new member as such - I'm Gary Slevin and I wrote the odd article for Centrale in the past as well as sending stuff in for the show!

(Incidently, I am still disappointed that Enoch and Jamie didn't use the Canberra Milk Kid thing. The possibilities were endless...)

Right, here is a challenge for you F1 Rejects fans. Post your favourite F1 lookalikes. i.e. someone famous who isn't connected to F1 but looks like a driver. Such as: Schumi: http://www.zcars.com.au/images/michael-schumacher12.jpg Looks like Easter Island Head: http://www.shanemcdonald.org/smdpics/p...

There's worse. In this example, the guy actually appears to be choking during the first line...

Hey everyone, I'm new around here, but not new to the Podcast. It's Gary Slevin here, long time contributor of random crap to Jamie and Enoch's efforts. I did email them about this when I found out about it. However, there is worse in the form of these slight disturbing rally(?) driving people: m I'...
