Grand Prix Rejects

FullMetalJack

Just the four rookies who are rejects then.

Any of them going to achieve unrejectification this season? Unsure if Norris will in 2019.

Meanwhile in Bonnie Scotland The Noo, as I threatened to take a look to see if there were any performances as miserable as Ludgvan's... there is. The South of Scotland League is usually considered the weakest of the Scottish senior leagues, but it's the one without the catastrophe (at least on the ...

I'd go for Racing Point, but both of their drivers seem to excel at this circuit, so the result could be expected.

Avoid defeat on Monday and we're safe, nice boring final day for a change will do nicely after surviving relegation on the final day in three of the previous five seasons. So anyone willing to take bets on Ajax winning the CL? Nope. I'm shite at betting and really really really want them to win it. ...

Been on this forum almost since the beginning, those were simpler times.

Unlike others on here, I don't love you all. I think you're all sound, but I wouldn't go that far.

Why do Formula 1.5 complaints only seem to have cropped up in the Turbo Hybrid era? I'm currently (slowly) making my way through every F1 season from 1989 to present, and what has struck me is that it is a rare thing to have a season where there are more than two teams (and sometimes it's only one ...

It's a real shame. I used to pass their (admittedly tiny!) ground when I travelled up to Hull for work. I know that the sport doesn't owe anyone and a living and their businesses like any other but it annoys me that proper non-league sides like them are going out of business while sides with delusi...

2015 FA Trophy winners North Ferriby United have folded, they were looking certain of a third successive relegation before officially being wound up. https://twitter.com/northferribyutd/status/1106525272747241472 From the sounds of things, it was always only a matter of time. To think, less than two...

Stroll - Great drive
Kvyat - Better times ahead for him I like to think

I remember that conversation quite well. Of the clubs we mentioned as being "plastic" the whole footballing world rejoiced when it became official that AFC Wimbledon were staying up in League 1 combined with MK Dons going down to League 2 last season making it the first time ever that the...

As we come towards the last two months of the football season, I was reminded of this exchange from 13 pages and almost four years ago: Delighted to see Orient go down, solely because I hate Barry Hearn. Even more delighted that Plastic FC Mk 2 (Crawley) went as well. Gutted that Plastic FC Mk 1 (M...

A former American Football coach buys a football club and makes himself manager. Don Pentecost, is that you? Unsurprisingly, Chester City finished in last place under the ownership of Terry Smith, and dropped out of the Football League. Turns out there's a whole documentary on their 1999/2000 seaso...

The two seasons where the Pacific Grand Prix was on the calendar were the same two seasons where Pacific Grand Prix competed. 1994 and 1995.

How many reject father-sons have we had? As in both ended up as rejects? Not sure it has happened? Definitely not the Hills, nor Fittipaldis, nor Verstappens, nor Rosbergs, nor Brabhams...

1. Stoffel Vandoorne
2. Erm, Williams I guess for beating Haas

I find the Williams nominations a bit odd. Stroll made Q2, for 2018 standards that's a good weekend for them.

Fixed. Let's face it, he's overdue another comeback at the tender age of 47.

1. Racing Point - Best debut since Brawn
2. Halo - I never liked it before, I do now!

I would say Vitantonio Liuzzi at HRT, but wiping out several drivers at Monza was memorable enough.

1. Haas - Nowhere this weekend, amazingly enough they're now down to 8th in the WCC.
2. Stroll - Dreadful

2. Gasly

Of course i'd be in favour of a race in Birmingham seeing as it's my hometown. Other than the disruptions it may cause to my commute to work

That's Haas unrejectified now isn't it?

Don't know if it's genuinely unpopular or not, but I'll say it here: Nostalgia is doing Formula 1 more harm than good. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. I like to be nostalgic about F1 in the past every now and again (who doesn't?), but I can see where you're coming from. To be quite honest, I do...

Gainsborough Trinity were relegated from the National League North this weekend after a 3-2 defeat at the hands of AFC Telford United. Whilst this may not be considered big footballing news, it is the first time in their history that they have been promoted or relegated. Not bad for a club that has ...

I've been of the opinion that if DRS exists, drivers should be free to use it whenever they want to during the race. This is obviously harking back to the days when DRS was available all around the track during the practices and qualifying sessions. But I still think that if you're going to have it...

1. Haas - Probably my ROTR as well, but their pace was excellent.
2. Charles Leclerc - Finished ahead of two drivers despite driving a Sauber

HM - Fernando Alonso - 5th is great, but this is IIDOTR, and I expect greatness from Alonso

FullMetalJack

Good to see the Haas pace is genuine. If Magnussen is similar to late last year, we could be in for some fireworks into turn 1.

Has there ever been a season where none of the teams started the season as rejects? I did initially think 2004, but Toyota were still a 'point' short. Same with Stewart in 1998. Maybe 2001? I did think that, but Jaguar hadn't scored enough points. If Haas are as promising as testing suggests, 2019 ...

Isthmian Premier (level 7) table toppers Dulwich Hamlet have been kicked out of their Champion Hill ground.

There you have it, the WORST music headline of 2018 (and maybe of the decade) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DTu-6UuW0AAnlWA.jpg:large "She's now a Zombie " DISGUSTING Yeah, that's in bad taste. I imagine that's Spain's equivalent to The Sun judging by that headline?
