Grand Prix Rejects

Frentzen127

Congratulations and thank you all as well for making Gp Rejects what it is. I don't think any of us would have it any other way.
I joined on 1st April by the looks of it, so I guess that also makes me part of the old guard?
Not much of a poster myself, rarely do I feel I have much to contribute.

Autosport reports that Red Bull will switch to Honda engines for 2019

You mean, like when the tifosi shrieked their heads off with joy when Alonso retired from the 2006 Italian GP? A personal favorite of mine is when Patrese (in a Brabham) took the lead from Tambay (in a Ferrari) then crashed two corners later in the 1983 San Marino GP. The crowds reaction is such th...

Well, when you consider the problems they had with an oil tank during the first test you wonder if it was actually throughly tested before hand in the first place.
Mario may correct me on that but I think such should have been picked up during the design phase.

Their time might be better spent working on the car rather than coming up with that rubbish. You really think the person who runs Mclarens Twitter account is the same person who builds the car? No, but I think in an organisation such as McLaren nothing gets done without a nod from someone up top. P...

Well to be fair having a sub-par engine after 3 years and change if you're an institution of Honda's repute is nothing short of astounding. I suppose there's enough reasons to be excited about the upcoming season if one is a McLaren fan. I for one cannot wait to see what BS excuses Eric Boullier com...

Ferrari have Fiat to lean on. What would McLaren lean on?

Honda has axed engine dev consultant Gilles Simon. Sun's shining bright at Woking isn't it?

I have no issue with Stroll's ability, or credentials, or the source of his funding through his junior carreer. I for example have nothing but immense respect for Pedro Diniz, whom the cynics might call the ultimate pay driver. But he put it best when he said that money or family don't count when yo...

My point is that neither of Stroll's predecessors (rookies both) made as many mistakes as he did in their first test (or if they did they probably weren't as costly).

Frentzen127

Stroll has binned it. Again.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until Melbourne, but so far it isn't looking good for him, or Williams. All that lost mileage's gotta hurt.

Montoya has a pathological dislike of the mid-field (part of the reason he left McLaren/was sacked me thinks, that and the fact that he just didn't care anymore) as he has told in I don't know how many interviews. When he doesn't have a shot he doesn't want to be in it. I suspect if he can't stay in...

Does anyone here actually pay for Autosport Plus? I think Baker does. Anyone else? yeah I read it a lot so I thought I'd try paying for it for a year. Basically the 2019 line up is this - Mercedes - Rosberg/Ham/Vettel/Weherlin/Ocon Ferrari - Vettel/Riccardio/Leclerc/Grosjean Renault - Grosjean/Pere...

My avatar and myself condemn the implications of the above message.

Good to know it wasn't just me who read that. Thought I was just seeing things.

I read it as their tyre wear woes showing through for all to see. A little make up in the form of "I hope this gamble really pays off" on the side doesn't hurt in any case.

To be fair the Brazilian GP has been a calendar mainstay fpr a while. And as a filthy third world hellhole dweller I don't mind having to not go very far for events like the Olympics or the World Cup. Bloody hell, Bernie spends TWO DAYS on my avatar and this happens? I did want to curse him, but not...

I should have taken Cooops on his wager, too much shrapnel for the staying power to handle.

Why am I not at all surprised at this comment?

I saw it coming from a mile away and it still made me laugh.

GOOD NEWS!!! So Sauber have been acquired by Longbow Finance, which I believe is an investment firm. Looks like Sauber are going to be hanging around for a while now. I think I'm pleased the Sauber name will remain in Formula 1 for now but I can't help but regret the missed opportunity of seeing Lo...

2. Nico Rosberg - Was he even driving that Mercedes? He looked like a scared rookie out there.

That would be because he had little in the way of brakes. You know, those superflous things, even more so in the rain.

Looking at it now with the benefit of hindsight, perhaps the Sutil/Gutierrez line up wasnt all that bad for Sauber.

Cherry picking is a thing.

I don't think it matters at all whether Benetton cheated or not during 94. If they did, they did it well enough to not get caught (and its safe to say it wasn't the first time nor the last a team has had a liberal interpretation of the rules) so kudos to them. If they didn't, all the more reason for...

Brands?

With the Mercedes crash today being officially labelled as a 'racing incident' by the stewards, does this set a dangerous precedent for the future? By that I mean, overly robust defences with compromised cars, and/or overly aggressive attempts to overtake? To be fair I think even Emmanuele Pirro* w...

If you have all the fuel adjusted lap times for each driver, could you sort them all from fastest to slowest, and plot histograms for each? We might be able to learn a thing or two from their probability distributions, just a thought.

I actually enjoyed this while it lasted.
Must be my South American genes shining through.

Its Punta, actually, but now that you do bring up bridges, I'd like to point up Punta's greatest flaw: The circuit doesn't go through this here bridge.

I swear about 90% of the world's complaints are that "things aren't as good now as they were in the past". According to these complaints, the best year ever was approximately the year 200,000 BCE, where there wasn't anything to complain about. Extrapolation. Pollyanna principle. Quote: Ac...

I never understood why, upon signing Pérez, they didn't go the route of "Telmex Sauber F1 Team" with a sky blue car and lots of Mexican sponsorship. Probably Telmex didn't commit enough of a monetary contribution to be a title sponsor, which is weird considering they're supposed to be one...
