Grand Prix Rejects

The benefit that the Gentleman Drivers of the old days have over the Pay Drivers of the current era is that their deeds weren't documented nearly as well as those of the latter. That's why Ide-San's performances reach a higher count of votes than for example that of a small man who tried to qualify ...

A reject race could be a boring race. There have been many. It could also be a race where a driver or team qualifying for the website have done something outstanding. I choose to go for the latter, and say my most recent favourite reject race is Nürburgring 2007 where Markus Winkelhock led the field...

The question of who would be my favourite F1 Reject Driver is a difficult one, because when I visited Spa in 92 and 93 and Hungaroring in 95, I've seen so many of them racing in their prime. I was still a teenager, when I saw qualifying for the Imola GP of 1994, but a regular reader of an Austrian F...

Bourdais' driving style is reportedly better suited to the classic, flowing tracks than to those that have sharp turns in overabundance. Additionally, he's rather experienced in US-style street circuits. Hence his good showings last year in Melbourne, Spa, Monza, Singapore and Fuji. So I guess, he m...

Oh and I must add: isn't this win the sweetest and most splendid way for Jenson Button to give a reply to the prestigious award that F1 Rejects have presented him with last year?

Wasn't it the somewhat lengthy and clumsy to name Beatrice / Haas-FORCE / Lola team of 1986 that enlisted Ross Brawn first as chief engineer or something like that? Where can I get more information on them, and most of all, where can I find more pictures of their beautiful bright red and blue car? I...

I guess we've seen all regulatory innovations for this season work out like charm today: more overtaking, KERS in action, the new safety car rules. Kudos to the FIA. Please bring back the 10-6-4-3-2-1 points system. Feel free to award 1/2 a point for 7th place and 1/4 of a point for 8th place if you...

Hello f1rejects, thank you for setting up this forum. The Zsolt Baumgartner interview is the greatest feature you've had so far on the podcast. I mean ... what a build-up through all these years! And now: the most controversial point of the race: penalties! Toyota have done incredibly well in their ...
