Re: The Alex Yoong 2013 Malaysian GP Thread

If Mark had done what Vettel as done then he could have been fired from Red Bull.

But since its our 'beloved' Sebastian he will be told that it is fine and move on.

Chilton- Beaten by both Caterhams Massa- Dropped quicker than a hot potato Mclaren- No speed still and they are back to their pitstop issues Maldonado- If this continues and he brings no money to the team......

Re: Mark Webber's start stats

I doubt the Mirnadi stats really counts because-

A. that 2002 car was one of the worst ever and he could hardly go forwards (baring a great drive in Australia)
and B - Alex Yoong was really the only car behind Mark and 3 DNQ's and a reject profile doesn't say much about his talent

Re: "Reject of the Year" for years that were not covered.

As did Patrese; he was getting paid more than Schumacher in 1993 which isn't so bad for your last year. McLaren considered Patrese in 1994, and when in contract negotiations he wanted the same as he was getting paid at Benetton. Ron Dennis had heard about Schumacher's alleged fee and thus used this...

Re: "Reject of the Year" for years that were not covered.

You are right about Patrese though, they might have been a bit too hasty to let him go. However on the chance of getting a dream driver line-up, which Prost-Senna/Mansell would have undoubtably been, not-quite world championship calibre drivers tend to get axed. He got Nicolas'd.
