Grand Prix Rejects

Daniil Kvyat. Though he'll need more results like this to silence Dr. Marko.

Or perhaps it's all decided already and M33 will be promoted regardless

Vassago

It seems like everyone who tries to shift the blame away from Mercedes does exactly the same what Toto was doing, you look at the damn computer too often without looking what's ahead of you (to quote Damon Hill). Mercedes startegic blunder is the most obvious ROTR material and we don't need to analy...

Vassago

And how on earth could anybody dislike Quick Nick? I dunno, I can't really remember what he's done before to warrant a disliking from people. a) 1998 F3000 season. Heidfeld was my enemy lomng before his F1 days based on who I cheered for then b) "Kubica is faster than me" and his antics i...

Schumacher was a Mercedes marketing trick. You could see Rosberg being annoyed that the car was build for Schuey's style but of course he had to keep his mouth shut cause he ain't got a dime to question someone of Schuey's record. And in the last season he beat Schuey left, right and center. Your b...

He's been there for years and has never had any other problems with a team-mate in his career. This is true. It's also interesting that Alonso has otherwise been pretty laid-back throughout his career too, except in 2007. That's because Rosberg & Alonso are used to being the leaders of the team...

Vassago

Ferrari's at it's lowest since 1993. No way Vettel would even consider switching there right now. They have to pray for Alonso staying there until he retires or else they'd be spanked by Force India clean. I still reckon either Hulkenberg or Bianchi will replace Raikkonen after 2015.

Vassago

1. Lotterer - makes you wish to see him at Monza!

2. Raikkonen - it's his best track performance-wise so no huge surprise.

Vassago

Gene Haas will save this thread one day

Vassago

I'm convinced Simona would do a better job than Gutierrez on most F1 tracks...

Vassago

1. Mercedes - It's not even close. This season has a Suzuka 1989-like finish written all over it. Whoever will be ahead on points before Dubai will just wipe the other guy out. And so much for the double points shambles being a factor in the title race! Mark my words! 2. Lotus - Maldonado had a Del...

Vassago

Raikkonen is almost destined to be out after 2015 and one has to wonder who will replace him since Bianchi can move up there but after years of Marussia it's still a bold choice no matter of the antics he's pulling there. Vergne could be on his way out after 2014 but the rash of mechanical issues mi...

Vassago

Has to be Red Bull who had a truly wonderful afternoon on home soil. All three retirements came from Mateschitz's payroll and the other that finished was fighting for minor points straight after winning a race. Horner's comments about this race being a defining point for his team sound pretty laugha...

Vassago

Max "He Braked Later Than Me, Fire Him!" Chilton - zero admittance to own guilt which I find notoriously annoying. Blaming Bianchi for braking too late? Jeez, that's even more ridiculous than the crash itself. After all it was Chilton who speared into Bianchi. The worst possible way to en...

Vassago

So, Chilton says Bianchi turned in on him

Vassago

Bianchi scores points, Chilton says: "bathplug my streak!" and pulls a clanger.

Vassago

Has to be Sauber. They're gonna end up behind Marussia in the contructors if this keeps going. Gutierrez was the first man to clip the barriers in Rascasse since like 1998. btw, I'm not a fan of giving ROTR for whinging. We all know deep down inside all the modern drivers are drama queens. Bring bac...

Vassago

btw, Caterham has no grounds on appeal since the rules were changed specifically before this year and it's a stonewall 5 secs. penalty and nothing more. Even the TV graphics adjusted that immediately after the race.

Vassago

LIKE A BOSS!!!

Vassago

I'd prefer Haas over Kolles tbh. I have doubts whether Kolles would keep the intensity and passion going when his team's target would be beating Caterham and Marussia. He's not used to bringing up the rear and there have been a number of successful ladder series owners who couldn't get the job done ...

Vassago

Felipe Massa for ignoring team orders especially in wake of Bottas' "great atmosphere" comments after Melbourne. Watch his season go downhill from now on.

Vassago

The attrition isn't that bad because I think the teams are not running 100% engine power in the races all the time for reliability reasons.

Vassago

1. Kobayashi - miles ahead of the fellow strugglers and even dicing with the midfield at one point.

Vassago

It's a short-term gain for Massa. He just costed his team a chance of 6th place. So much for that great atmosphere at Williams. Total team failure!

Vassago

Daniil Kvyat - you don't beat the youngest points scorer record every other day. And since Vettel is the new Fangio for most of the records this makes it really special. Quite frankly I thought Kvyat will end up in the wall sooner rather than later but he looked suprisingly OK. Yeah, Magnussen's po...

Vassago

Has to be Red Bull . OK, so they've had a terrible winter testing and Vettel's lack of power could be solely blamed on Renault engine BUT when was the last time a team ignored the FIA orders and decided that the egg was more important than the hen? Sure, they think they're the big players but this i...

Vassago

With so much controversy surrounding Pirelli it's a no-brainer really

Vassago

Sauber and particulary Williams have been poor all season so this race was hardly a ground-breaking experience. If qual was dry then Bottas would be nowhere near Q3 and the hype would be never there in first place. Likewise McLaren is off the pace all season but this time there was no luck to help t...

Vassago

I used to think Bianchi would be the crash prone guy at Marussia but Chilton's move on Maldonado might be the highlight of his season. The guy's been absymal so far, even Pic and Giedo are trying to make something positive happen while Chilton is the odd man out right down in the wankers pool.

Vassago

That wasn't Raikkonen, that was all about the tires. You might as well give the award to Pirelli but not Raikkonen

I mean Gutierrez made a FL after also pitting late and nobody mentions it.

Vassago

Grosjean was obviously trying hard crashing four times this weekend but that's old news. Max Chilton must be the obvious choice making the dumbest move in one place when you know it's gonna end in a vicious crash. No excuses for this one. People may complain about Perez but the team told him he was ...

Vassago

Force India pitcrew just threw it out of the ballpark!

Vassago

Maldonado's reckless style is old news and should be ignored.

McLaren win this hands down. From the fastest car in the last Grand Prix of 2012 to midpacker status in just 4,5 months! That takes some doing!

Vassago

Mercedes' tyres management is getting more and more laughable. ROTR for me.

Vassago

Pastor reckless antics are well known however, he's the modern version of Andrea de Cesaris. It's not like this comes as a real surprise to anyone (or shouldn't IMO). It's a shame F1R can't cut him any slack though. Plus the possible 3/6 ROTR for Williams are also very unfair, no way they're THAT ba...

Vassago

Just a thought - I've already had my say as to who I think ROTR should be, but, if Maldonado gets it, then Williams drivers will have had 3 ROTRs from 6 races (50% rate) - has anyone else ever had a run like that? Plus if you add ROTY from the end of last year to the list it gets even worse .... So...

Vassago

Jean-Eric Vergne for blowing a career-best finish thanks to a gamble that was never going to cut it. I mean rain was predicted ever since lap 30 and none of it happened. I think that either his tyres were over the cliff from his early first pitstop or he had damage. Since he had to pit, he may as w...

Vassago

McLaren and Senna have the early edge over the rest coming into the race If Senna stuffs in the gravel during the race and Maldonado ends up on the podium than McLaren's butt will be saved for the second consecutive race. Bit like Massa earlier, no ROTR award so far but the top candidate for ROTY af...

Vassago

1. Grosjean
2. di Resta

Raikkonen was also impressive, but because of his successful past, it should have been expected and have a bit more casual judgement about it.
