Grand Prix Rejects

Austria 2002. Evryone knew Barrichello was playing second-fiddle to Schumacher but to let him overtake, to win the race, barely feet from the flag, made a mockery of the sport. I think this incident of team-orders finally forced the FIA to ban it.

Don't think schumi deserves it, he's had a year and a half to get to the front. Button and Toro Rosso for me.

As long as he doesn't try to jump it over tower bridge in sure he will be fine

I'm still buzzing!! I'd like to write a full race review but I haven't got enough hours in the week to manage it, so... Good races for: Button - obviously. Vettel - Was in complete control, just the last lap let him down. But a very good drive at the front anyway. Schumacher - it's not often I want ...

Wow! What a race, what a finish!!!

HRT move above Virgin .

It just feel apart for Force India in the end, both cars in the points to both cars retiring

Come on Button! Get the win!!!

Mental marshalls!! And alguersuari is 8th!

Falling apart for Force India

Come on SC get off the track!!

Circuits virtually clear of standing water and the shower is merely a couple
of drips. Everyone back on full wets too.

Race resumes!!

Rain still falling butnot as bad. Get the cars going they'll clear it up.

Mclaren picnic?

Rihanna, go home.

yeah it's nice to know there's still a few quality tracks out there. I always look forward to Canada.

Commentators are obviously getting bored, chatting about anything now. I can still see this being abandoned, despite the time we have.

Bored now. Let them race, even behind safety car, it'll clear most of the standing water at turn 9.

Why a SC?! I'm sick of this!!! Get rid of it, let them race ffs.

Come on Kobayashi! Wouldn't that be A popular win!!!

Kobayashi doing well. Shame hamiltons out! Di resta looking solid too.

Here we go!!! Someone gotta spank it on first (5th) lap.

Total bullshit. Ruins an epic start.

Think glock is looking good too. Not the worst driver in the wet.

yeah baby yeah m just to add doesn't look like going away, so both Mcl, Mercs, Rubinio and Tim O'Glock with full wet setup worth watching that's the 5live commentary box isn't it? The race is in one hour, so it's going to be a wet start . I just HOPE they start without the bloody SC. Keep an eye ou...

I think he did the right thing in bringing in De La Rosa. He's got plenty of experience and all Peter Sauber wants is the car to finish and remain trouble-free. Sure, quali wasn't the greatest, and an earlier crash probably dented his confidence. But I'm sure during the race he will stay out the wal...

Mario, that's a fair point about mclaren. But how many times has there been a race where there's a 30, 40 or 50% chance of rain and there hasn't been? I think mclaren took a very big risk in running, let's be honest, a wet-weather set-up. We all know how well Button and Hamilton cope with changeable...

Surprise surprise! Vettel on pole again!! Ferrari are looking really good though. Think mclaren are going to be really disappointed with their positions. Not much between Renault cars!

I thought Di Resta did well to get 6th, although no-one really knows what fuel loads the other cars around him were carrying. And Sutil getting 12th (I think), before crashing is good. I can see a few midfield drivers saving a set of fresh tyres in Q2 to use for the race, as tyre wear might be a pro...

Hi there! Been reading loads of profiles on your website about all the rejects in Formula 1 and decided to join the forum. Little bit about me, I'm 24 and have been following F1 since 1996, supporting Damon Hill. After he retired I switched alliances to the Minardi team and were gutted when Red Bull...
