Grand Prix Rejects

Very sad news, RIP. It is important that as many stories, memories and anecdotes from the older generations are collected before it's too late. It won't be many years down the line before very few of the chaps from the 50s and 60s will be left and we need to make sure we remember them in the best po...

Your not trying to drag me into a bitter rivalry are you?

I guarantee you that that's exactly what he's trying to do. He's the Senna to your Prost, the Hunt to your Lauda, the Villeneuve to your Pironi, the Nakano to your Takagi.

Courtesy, as most good things are, of WTF1.

That video should be shown to anyone who might suggest that they can drive a car, therefore motorsport can't be that difficult.

Just to note that based off of those birthdays the average age of the user here is about 22. Seems about right with some well below and some well over!

So I'll be doing the British GP again this year, after one of my mates double-booked himself for Le Mans, and today I went and bought a nice England flag which will be a canvas to show my appreciation of Max's performances. If you imagine the Cross of St George, and the four white quadrants, I'm th...

I'm gonna nominate F1 in it's entirety.... come on its just getting boring as bathplug now, I'm seriously considering not watching Monaco (in fact I'm travelling back from a weeks holiday on the Saturday so I will miss qualifying anyway) sure Bahrain was ok but not as much of a classic as everyone ...

I got 5 of the top 6. My luck is better than Marie's So, you complained a massive about people making a joke about your creepy obsession, yet you continue to provide ammunition.

Bottas I suppose?

Nah it's a pretty old-fashioned continent-wide 'song' competition - running since the 50s during the first push for a European identity - supposedly voted on by the public but heavily criticised for political blok voting (e.g. former Soviet states all voting for each other). Back in the day Ireland...

Crazy how football didn't exist before Sky invented in it 1992.

Ok you lost me, what the bathplug is Eurovision? We have a spy in our midst! No one who regularly follows the F1 Rejects Podcast wouldn't know what Eurovision is! I admit, I don't listen to the podcast. nd so its yet another "American Idol" type thingy. Is Simon involved in this one as we...

A grand celebration of European high culture and music.

Here's an example.

shinji

I would say the naming of this Grand Prix, the hosting of the Eurovision (because that was defo a political move involving much dosh) and stuff like their sponsorship of Atletico Madrid is all evidence that they're making a concerted push to be recognised as 'European'. Best way of doing that? Not b...

So. I've learnt how a football fan feels to go through a low tonight. This is the premier league so don't take ANYTHING for granted

You haven't been following Liverpool properly if this is your first low in fairness.

In the 3 years that HRT raced in Formula 1, the only driver who managed to finish a race on the lead lap was Pedro de la Rosa. He did so once at the 18th race of 2012, Abu Dhabi, finishing 17th and last on the lead lap. 1m 11.778s behind winner Kimi Raikkonen. That was the only time in 56 Grands Pr...

Is the legend of Ayrton Senna now just a cliché, in that it is trotted out so often.... I would argue not really. I showed my nan the Senna film last night and we were both welling up at the end (which in a very reserved English family saying a lot). The only thing about it that I sometimes take is...

Jaysus that's really sad, RIP.

To me, Europe should have a time difference of -1 hour to +2.5 hours from UK time. Azerbaijan is something like +4 hours. So most of Africa is European? Way to go, RoBloMas52! I was refering to the continent of Europe and where I think the cut off lines should be. Infact I will make what I think Eu...

Couldn't it just be that many people remember Roland Ratzenberger easier than the Paletti's of this world because, he's got an increadibly cool sounding name? Down to the proximity to Senna's, and that it came in the 'modern' hyper-commercialised, Bernified era of F1. His car was sponsored by MTV l...

Why couldn't it just be the Azerbaijani Grand Prix? Not like Valencia and Nurburgring where there was another race in the same country.

Two nice pieces by David Brabham about the weekend and his experience.

Yeah perhaps best not to tempt fate.

Would it be illegal or otherwise ill-advised to have a regularly updated thread with links to watch old Grands Prix online?

No, I'm eurobrun.

Barbazza I searched for 1988 races on good old Youku.com and I found this for a start. The titles are in Chinese and you'll have to identify the races via the videos but the commentary is BBC. BTW I found F1Win.com , a website which has 2000s races. The 2000, 2002-3, 2005-6 races have ITV commentar...

And I'm... actually I won't bother, that joke has been made by myself and others about a million times before.

Ed Kevin is me, by the way. Just because you're using my real name there.

I think weird, passive-aggressive drama is my favourite thing about these forums now.

I wonder if I can be called a true fan of the sport if I'm not able to watch all of the races. I'll hopefully be watching Bahrain this weekend, but I don't know yet that I have a sure way to watch the rest. I hope to. Until now I've been following the sport through this site, Saward's site, James A...
