Hungary 1994: m If anyone speaks Dutch would they be able to kindly explain what is being said about the Intertechique equipment between 1.40 and 2.29? I will translate. There isn't anything really extraordinary being said though: Here we are at Tyrrell and they've got a spare barrel. And on that b...

Why do they use the flag of the United Arab Emirates instead of the flag of Abu Dhabi? They're just keeping the door open for the eventual GP at Dubai Autodrome. That makes no sense. If they were doing that, you would expect them to use the flag of Abu Dhabi, since if there would be a GP at Dubai, ...

Hahaha, those are great

I love Johansson's comments in that post, by the way. He tells it like it is.

In a continuation of the subject of money problems: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/127140/force-india-manor-ask-for-advanced-payment While I am not worried by Force India - they seem to have a good package and stability that can get them through years of little money - I am somewhat by...

Ted Kravitz interviewing Niki Lauda immediately after qualifying wrote:First, tell us about Nico.

Lol.

This does not bode well. I am fear

Well, the silly season just got a lot more interesting over the past week. I really hope Kvjat gets the free seat at Williams, even though it doesn't look likely. Stroll is too young and talented but unproven, although if he wins the GP3 title that won't hurt his credentials. I also hope Ocon will g...

Sad to hear the news. I thought he had a couple more years in him, since of the old guard (Button, Räikkönen, Alonso and him) he was the most recent debutante. I understand his decision to retire though. But it's a shame he never won a World Championship. In better circumstances, it would for sure h...

Did anyone else see someone watching on the oval where it passes over the track between Serraglio and Ascari? While less dangerous than walking on the actual track where the race takes place, I can't help but wonder if that was allowed.

Waris

Oh no, Murray. I really hope he'll be alright. But he always struck me as one of the strongest and healthiest looking octogenarians I've seen.
If Sir Stirling Moss could recover from that fall down an elevator shaft, I have good faith that Murray's shoulder will be okay.

I support this, but only if they remove the chicanes and add back the old oval!

Waris

This is good news, but presumably it will mean there's no more chance of Alex Rossi getting back in an F1 car this year. That makes me a little sad.

At the Hungarian Grand Prix, the podium finished in order of the championship standings. How many times has this happened? Obviously at the first grand prix of every season, but apart from that? And what is the largest number of drivers that have finished, or qualified, in order of the championship ...

Waris

Two seasons on from his last Grand Prix start, I already find it very easy to forget that Adrian Sutil was ever an F1 driver.
Out of the current crop of drivers, I think Esteban Gutiérrez is quite forgettable.

Waris

Hooray, this was long overdue!
I hope we get to see some Tetra Pak and/or Julius Bär stickers on the cars now.

Waris

I would be fine with a return to Imola, but not at the expense of Monza.

Imola is a very good circuit, but Monza... is Monza!

Waris

Does anyone have statistics on drivers that had pole and fastest lap in a race, but didn't win the race? Oh boy... Pole and fastest lap listed first, then winner: [a whole bunch of stats] So it seems to happen way more often than I thought... Wow yes, definitely more often than I thought too! Thanks!

Waris

Oh dear, I missed that news. Sad news.

I guess that means Newman/Haas will never return to motorsport, then. And no more Lolas in North American motorsport...

Waris

I'm sort of hoping for Narain Karthikeyan to get an FE seat next year, being as it is that Jaguar is owned by Tata Motors and all.

Whereas I'm delighted that Manor scored a point, I can now almost not see Sauber not finishing last in the championship this year. But anything can happen in F1, and it usually does, so let's wait and see. I think this season might spring up a few more surprises.

Waris

Wehrlein scores a point! Unbelievable! Nice cockup from the Mercedes boys at the end. Well, I suppose it makes the championship more exciting or something. I want to say Verstappen got onto the podium on merit, but I'm sure if Vettel and Rosberg hadn't had their respective moments of failure he woul...

There's three files which will impact performance: ⋅ HDV file - this largely decides the handling of your car. The [FRONTWING] and [REARWING] sections won't be much use to you, because your car probably has negligible downforce. Instead, look at [BODYAERO] and increase the BodyDrag numbe...

Waris

Hello everyone, I'm playing the 1950 mod for this game but unfortunately I noticed that the times, both of the AI cars and of my own car, are unrealistic. For example, in real life Farina's pole time at Silverstone was 1'50"8, but I myself manage a lap of around 1'40" (in a Ferrari) wherea...

Waris

Interesting, this form thingy. I like it.

Waris

Let me tell you: If Pérez hadn't had that five-place grid penalty, he could've won this race today. At the very least it could've been an extremely interesting fight for the lead between him and Rosberg.

Waris

They are subtracted from the race distance. For example: Sakhir track is 5,412 kilometres and ran over 57 laps. This should make the distance of 308,484 kilometres, however the official distance was listed as 308,238 km. In these cases it's lap 1 which is shorter than others and in some cases drive...

Get a Honda engine, stick that guy Matsushita in the car, turn it into the Swiss version of Super Aguri. Problem solved

I used to think Jarno Trulli was black. I have a drawing somewhere from 1998 to prove it. Out of curiousity, what led you to this conclusion? I think I thought at the time that the name "Trulli" sounded like a black guy's name. I had never seen most of the drivers out of their helmets/rac...

Why don't we do something like Bump Day in the US? That's almost always exciting isn't it? Everybody gets to set a first laptime that counts, and then you get a certain amount of time, or laps, to bump people down, where the driver in last gets eliminated after some amount of time. It would be bette...

I know this will sound overly dramatic, but I'm moved almost to tears by this news! It feels to me as though a miracle had taken place. Your podcasts have been a part of my life since 2003; when the old site/forum stopped and your podcasts stopped as well, it felt like a part of my childhood had dis...

Also, the real reason this qualifying system is a failure: https://twitter.com/RejectsPodcast/status/711160874937888769 There are other people producing a Rejects podcast?! This isn't Jamie and Enoch, is it? Who are they? It's Jenoch. It's the old F1R account. Wow, that might be the best news of th...

Waris

What really? That baffles me even more. They have a test driver, who despite this offical role is mainly used as eye candy, but she's not even present at the team presentation, instead they use some kind of model and put her in a dress? If you ask me that is not only sexist but a slight towards her ...

Waris

I love the Renault!! Okay, maybe it's not THE best way to do a yellow livery, but at least it's yellow, which was badly needed on the grid! But why was Carmen Jordà in a dress during the livery presentation? Call me a nitpicker, but frankly I think that's sexist, considering everyone else was in tea...

I dreamed AGAIN that Stewart-Ford returned to F1, this time by taking over Red Bull. Interestingly the cars were not white but blue, not like the Red Bull blue but more like the blue from the old Stewart, except without the tartan.

Waris

Manor going for the longue durée I see. Could be interesting. Maybe we could see a one-stop?

Waris

I dreamed that Alfa Romeo re-entered F1. Their car had a paintjob similar to this year's Ferrari, with white parts and the Italian flag stripes. Also, Ford was entering F1 as a works team, by bringing back Stewart-Ford, which was funny because now the new Stewart was running against Red Bull, which ...
