Grand Prix Rejects

Better still: one of the perks of the Red Baron signing for Merc is that he gets to drive the SLS, which has an engine note to die for: m - even though there's all that music over it (STOP IT, YOU BATHPLUGS) you can still hear it. Imagine an SLS-based racing series. It'd sound brilliant, and it'd l...

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking that.

Reminds me of another Head in Hands: Every time ITV cut the F1 feed for adverts And another Punch the air: When BBC regained the rights That's reminded me of another "punch the air" moment: hearing "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac for the first time in many years when F1 returned to...

Coincidentally, one of my favourite old reject cars plus one of my favourite songs. Excellent!

I'm sure all these have already been mentioned, but... Damon Hill crossing the line at Suzuka in '96. Earlier in the same race, the coverage cutting to the onboard camera shot of a stationary Jacques Villeneuve. The opening race of the '96 season produced a few with the two Williams battling it out....

Banning six-wheelers and fan cars.

I'm sure a third Spanish race would be 100% full, or a race in Portugal or France would also get good crowds, but I don't know if it's logistically possible. Abu Dhabi seems like the only other option, for the test and the race. However, the teams might decide that going to the Middle East might no...

I think Rial and Onyx should be classified as rejects due to the nutcases that owned and ran them - Gunter Schmid always seemed more than a little odd, while Jean-Pierre van Rossem sought power and publicity and really didn't have a clue what he was doing. Same with Peter Monteverdi.

Pieman

Going back further in history, Giancarlo Baghetti and Phil Hill leaving Ferrari for the new ATS team. Not sure if these count, but midfielders Chris Amon and Arturo Merzario electing to start their own teams. Same could be said for Hector Rebaque who put in a couple of decent performances for Brabha...

Well Alitalia were responsible for the second best rally livery of all time* on Sandro Munari's Lancia Stratos, so that would make sense. I would still like to see Virgin Racing/Manor Motorsport get sponsorship from Playboy, if only to create the greatest team name in motorsport history. *Behind the...

When I looked back at that, it took me a moment to remember what I'd tried to type in the first place - it was Martin Donnelly.

They were supposed to be Alex Zanardi and Kamui Kobayashi, typed with my eyes closed.

I thought there may be some reject action here as the video focuses on retirements in a somewhat rejectful race, but in the end all we get is a couple of shots of the Zakspeed.

Some good classic F1 on that channel though, so worth a look through their other vids.

Pieman

Proof that the 2011 Le Mans aero designs (especially Peugeot) are nothing new!

Jim Clark Forever - welcome to the site, you certainly seem to know F1 well and I think you'll be a valued contributor,

Closed the tab without copying my full scores, but i got 61/101 overall.

It would make DBTMOTY a lot easier to decide!

1950s F1 Reject Jacques Swaters has passed away at the age of 84 - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/88673

I actually thought of doing something similar a while ago - but instead of just one driver scoring, have the two drivers share a car along the lines of sportscar racing. (It would need some thought as to how the points would work (both drivers scoring the same points for their position or not, for e...

Footage of the Life in motion - rare as rocking horse dung.

(apart from its run at Goodwood a year or two back, of course.)

Pieman

Oh right - I only skim-read the thread and thought you were going to be running a championship from scratch, not using previous results. Apologies.

Pieman

Can we add Bathurst for the Australian GP, or are we only allowed circuits which have staged F1 in real life?

I am very happy with the 1995 standings

He was very good. I am surprised - wasn't he doing SEAT Leon Supercup recently?

That's Duarte Felix da Costa, his elder brother according to Wikipedia.

F1 AWARDS Driver of the year: Nico Rosberg, for doing exactly what I hoped he would do - walk all over Michael Schumacher. Team of the year: Renault - I did not expect them to be running anywhere near the front. Reject of the year: Sebastian Buemi - I almost plumped for him as "most anonymous d...

Then even more peeved when I realised it was impossible to pass on the track. And then staring at the back of Petrov's Renault for the next hour would make me incandescent. Then at least take a Kamikaze-move to TRY!! He didn't even do that, I mean, Ferrari was 3rd in constructors, and the only chan...

As they both managed to show up Ferrari and its drivers, I will go with the overwhelming majority.

Can I just say that this is probably the best thread I have seen on this forum. If I had the time, I would compile short race reports to go with each race.

Epic - why the heck didn't I think of this? I'm really looking forward to following this one!

Great news - on the back of this, here are the liveries I would like to see... McLaren - orange, like Bruce's cars originally were, with silver trim. Mercedes - perfect as it is now, or maybe without the Petronas sea-green. Red Bull - OK as it is, but with more white in a nod to Stewart from whom th...

The best example of this I remember was Jerez 1986 - at one point Murray Walker's commentary went: "Senna challenging Mansell - and onto the grass goes Senna......out of the pits comes Rosberg". The director switched away for the two seconds in which it appeared Senna was about to stack it...
