Grand Prix Rejects

Well, all I can say is that it is worth it if it keeps Sauber in the sport. And you know what, I hope for the best for Sirotkin. If he is in the car next season, then he will be the first driver younger than me in the sport. I hope, for his and Sauber's sake, that he is a quick learner, because this...

I really don't care for Vettel as a driver, but I can't complain with the fact that he won his home race. He did everything he needed to and performed excellently. I can imagine those final few laps were as exciting for him as they were for us mere mortals.

I read across the board quite a lot that many people say Danica Patrick is Overrated. Can someone explain to me why? I don't know where you heard that. She certainly isn't great, we all knew that. I think its more about her being in better equipment than she deserves at this stage, which causes peo...

I think I am going to have to agree. Pirelli isn't entirely at fault, but I don't believe the teams are either. They made the call to keep the tires because it would hurt their competitiveness, but also because they felt that safety wasn't as big of an issue as claimed. I don't remember that many in...

Is it ever OK to boo? I know it'll always be there but I dont think its OK. I thought the Canadians booing Vettel was very poor. However, I had no problem with the Brits cheering Vettels car failure. I think its a context thing. I was equally disgusted when some Brits cheered MSCs crash in 1999 but...

Looks like Ambrose-Milan is going to have a good season.

Alliot, not so much

1. Hamilton - What a comeback
2. Massa - Uhh... what a comeback!

Honorable mention to Webber because, well, what a comeback!

That Opel has really come into its own, now that we have had some time to develop the chassis.

More tyre testing at Pocono yesterday, 15 cars this time. This test was more hush-hush, and was not open to the public. Graham was the only driver to mention times to the media, and said his fast lap was a 213 at about 43secs. While this is slower than the last test, he said it was on old tyres nea...

I'd buy a race car bed.

Literally. A bed made out of a race car. Maybe a BMW from the WTCC, they look fairly roomy if they don't have a cage. Or perhaps that Bentley GT3 car, that looks like I could fit a King sized mattress in there!

Hound55

Toyota was in contention all the way to the end. Considering they were only one lap down on the number 2 Audi, I think they did very well.

And that was a lovely post-24 hour race sleep, especially considering how hellish the racing was. At least 4 hours of armco repair? Unbelievable.

Great article, but it's a shame that you had to curse him like that, just as his season is going fairly well. I quite like JEV.

Rest in peace, Allan. My thoughts are with his family.

So, is anyone else staying up the full 24 hours this year? I know I will, been doing it for 3 years now.

My friends think I am insane. I probably am.

Biffle won the race. Johnson got black-flagged for another jumped restart. Two times in three weeks! Then he hit the wall with 3 to go. ROTR for him. He dodged the black flag, but lost 10 positions to avoid it. I hope NASCAR's administration decide to loosen up on their rule about beating the other...

Advan Racing is fairly satisfied with Firman and Noda's collective mediocrity and is moderately pleased with a 4th and last place finish. In fact, we are somewhat hopeful that our Supra will be able to maintain this average-ness through decent reliability and consistent 5th and 6th place finishes, w...

That's Van der Garde's first ROTR of his career. If this goes on i could consider giving the Rookies (except Bottas and Bianchi) ROTY. So far none of them have scored a point and 2 of them have won ROTR's already. However now that Giedo has a ROTR nominating him in Future is now considered as the e...

27-year-old British-Cameroonian driver Cameron Maroon is interested in driving for Ambrose-Milan. He has experience, and money. Sold! We are going to need that money if our Peugoets are anything like they were last season. Any particular sponsors I should put on the car? Also, if Jefferson Rodrigue...

So, let's play with the engine regulations, shall we? The engine manufacturers have a spending cap. Nothing else. Boost is an option. Any number of cylinders is an option. So what do most of them make? What is the fastest? The most reliable? How do the cars change to adapt to these engines (we can a...

Heres an opinion of mine that I don't think will go down terribly well Robert Kubica should give up on the idea of getting back to F1 I mean, I miss him and I think its a giant shame that his career has been curtailed, but I think he should just move on. I mean, first of all, he has to overcome the...

So I come home after a long day of partying after graduation and I sit down on my couch and it crosses my mind that I still haven't seen the qualifying order for one of my favorite races of the year.

To be honest, Hamilton's helmet wasn't the worst design out there - wtf1 has a web page with all of the special designs that the drivers used for that weekend, and some of the designs that other drivers used were a bit more questionable. The design that Perez had on his helmet was pretty "racy...

Well, I never have been impressed by Hildebrand, so I'm not surprised. At least Ryan Briscoe gets to come back.
