Grand Prix Rejects

Blimey is it really that long, I suppose it is as it's the 10th birthday of the brawn era or as I call it a real changing of the guard season in F1, something I don't think had happened before in F1 (except 1994 when Benetton started a brief dominant period) 2 of the previous years Top teams struggl...

Williams for me too... wasting the Mercedes engine if they go on like this....

Formula 5000 was cool back in the day. Better than F3000. Very different intent as well. Formula 3000 was a stepping stone formula whereas Formula 5000 was intended as an alternative series to Formula 1. Speaking of alternatives to F1, I often wonder why one didn't spring up during Japan's 80s boom...

I don't know what number Russell is using but Kubica will be 88....

Cars Ive owned(actually only owned 10 so far, number 11 arrives friday) 10. 1998 Fiat Punto 75 SX Best thing about it: It was Red and Italian Worst things: Head gasket blew, electric windows were stiff and the sunroof handle would fall off 9. 2009 Kia Cee'd Best thing about it: it was reasonably pri...

Whilst the next driver who made his debut at Renault after Kubica drove there was of course the legend that is Jolyon Palmer! (not counting the non-debuting drivers in between) I'm cheating, but Jolyon's worth it. You missed a trick there Renault were smart, and knew the only driver around capable ...

WeirdKerr

will the age gap between Kimi and Max be the biggest age gap between consecutive winners?

WeirdKerr

For the 3rd race in a row I didn't watch live, i've had it with F1

farewell...

WeirdKerr

Maybe unusual stats isn't the place but a few years back I worked out that in 1986 had Mansell beaten Senna in the Spanish grand prix the extra 3 points would have changed the outcome of the championship....

Perez... nuff said

though on a related note

Ratza you jinxed them....

WeirdKerr

1. The stewards for not taking action on Hamilton as he was equally to blame for the first lap incident
2. Jontly to car 44 and car 5, both equally to blame for that first lap incident

HM to Verstappen 'nuff said

Interesting Rumour ive heard...

Ocon to Mclaren and bringing Mercedes engines and R.P.F.I.will get the renault engines.....

WeirdKerr

Was watching the 1998 first lap crash and it dawned on my if this were to happen now 13 cars would be out on the spot and we would have a race with nearly the same amount of cars as USA '05.... (unless they stopped the race and managed to repair some of the cars.... )

WeirdKerr

oh and that's radillon actually....

WeirdKerr

Bottas: bathplug idiot proves once again he has no place in F1 and MUST be sacked or banned from any racing trying to take out 1 driveris bad enough but then to take out another driver 2 laps later....

WeirdKerr

dr-baker wrote:Has Kyvat been sacked from something in the past week???

Not as far as i know.... so first win when he hadn't been sacked or dropped...

WeirdKerr

Here's a ponder for you. Would an F1 car with the hybrid system "unlimited" and with the right tyres for a single lap be able to beat the Porsche 919 Evo lap record round Spa? I was thinking about it because the Evo had to be heavily modified from WEC regulations to enable it to break the...

pretty sure those were for blue flags for car 55 (Carlos Sainz JR)

my nomination is getting celebrities to wave the flag at the end of the race....

WeirdKerr

Wow, thinking about it, Herbert certainly was a lucky fellow. You can't argue that he didn't take advantage of his opportunities, though. When you compare that he got three wins whilst Alesi only got one says a lot about their careers, I think. While we've agreed he was inconsistent in another thre...

WeirdKerr

RoGro he seems to be reverting back to the 2009 driver.....

WeirdKerr

Chaotic race....
Baku is clearly not suitable for Formula 1

More please!

1. Grosjean for binning it during the safety car
2. Hulkenberg

HM to Red Bull

WeirdKerr

both red bull drivers to blame, time to get rid of both of them

WeirdKerr

1) Haas pit crew
2) the operator of the graphics for leaving a couple of drivers in position after they retired then the Lastname gap to lastname

HM to me for nearly thinking I had missed the start after waking up at 5 past 6

WeirdKerr

I read the autobiography just this week. All was mentioned was the "startling discrepancy" between Verstappen and Schumacher, especially in comparison to Schumacher and Lehto previously. So... meh. IMHO the true pace of the car without TC was revealed during the 2 races that Schumacher wa...

who was it that said you cannot please all of the the people all of the time....

have we gone back to the 50s?

Ferrari running a team claiming to be Alfa? Its the 1930s! I am looking forward to this, but badge the bloody engine! Sauber did pretty well last time a factory owned them, so as long as they don't hire a washed up retiree and then give up on a legit WCC shot again, they should do well. Haas is now...

Esteban Occon is the only driver not have a grid penalty all season

WeirdKerr

With one race to go in 2017, we've had five extra drivers on the grid this year from the original 20. The last time this happened was 2009, with somewhere between one and four driver changes occurring each season in the interim. Before this, 2006 also had five extra drivers, but we have to go back ...

Wait, what? How do you know at least one driver on the grid has had a Brazilian since 1969?!?!

What's a Brazilian? Is it a type of nut?

WeirdKerr

1969 was the last time there was no Brazilians on the grid.....

WeirdKerr

not surprised....

think the record was 2 in 1993 and 1994

WeirdKerr

Hulkenberg, managing to win the championship by finishing 4th in every race when we get 20 different winners and a lot of bad luck for everyone else(probably not even possible)

Mansell on Berger 1990. Better than anything we'll see this weekend.

I honestly doubt we will see someone win from 15th either. In the end, Prost was the greatest of them all.

13th....

1. Razzmatazz WTAF this is f1 not some silly "staged" wrestlemania
2. Bottas is looking a bit Meh and dead beat
