Grand Prix Rejects

What do you guys think about Tatiana Calderon? Good/Promising/rubbish?

Izzyeviel

Nothing more than a fluff piece. He's in Soviet Russia as a guest of Putin, he's going to say whatever goes down well with his audience. Nothing more to it. If Obama was involved with COTA, he'd be on Oprah Winfrey talking about great democracy is and yada yada. Putin has either asked him for a smal...

I hope for a return of the Toca shootout thing they did. That was fun.

Bronwyn? from neighbours? Is she still alive?

What if Monster had bought Jaguar?

Katayama drove for Minardi in 1997. I have seen the photographic evidence. #hadnoclue

I presume he would've had a similar career to how the guy behind Ilmor turned out. (the one's that's still with us)

Gotta love the BBC commentaty at the start.

Ben: 'And in the background going off is Maldona...'
DC: 'It's a Force India!'

Although to be fair, I can imagine most people thought the same.

Izzyeviel

Probably the first GP in 10 years where I've made the conscience decision not to watch. (even if it was a 1pm kick off I wouldn't watch it live)

Really feel for the Manor team at the moment.

I get the feeling if we get no news from Renault about buying Lotus, then it may not happen at all.

What if Germany had won the Great war?

Izzyeviel

What if Beatrice had never been taken over?

Izzyeviel

Would you need the medical helicopter if the race is in the middle of a city?

Izzyeviel

You need a bit of luck to be a world champ... I would suggest Webber has used all his up in surviving a lot of big crashes.

What if the Lotus 1988 & 1989 cars weren't shite?

I've found the next Johnny Dumfries: Ferdinand Habsburg

He was involved in this crash in Formula Renault 2. http://www.motorsport.com/frenault/video/main-gallery/huge-airborne-crash-eurocup-formula-renault-2-0-silverstone

Derek Warwick, World champion for Williams 1986.
Ricardo Patrese, World Champion for Williams 1992 & 1993.

Ted Kravitz interviewed the one and only Arturo Mezario on his quali notebook! Still wearing the cowboy hat

Basically, Pastor Maldonado is this generation's Andrea De Cesaris

Izzyeviel

I would rather a win than being remembered as a consistent solid driver. I can sit home and look at my trophy that said '2012 Spanish GP winner: Pastor Maldonado'. I mean Marin Cilic won a Grand Slam I don't think he cares about how he is viewed. Agree. I remember Alessandro Nannini, not his crashe...

Izzyeviel

Eric Boullier has basically said Mclaren are thinking more about 2017 will be better for them than next season.

Jense won't want to hang around for another season of rubbish. Surely Mclaren will palm him off and get Mag in on the cheap?

Izzyeviel

Nevermind all that, that's boring.

What we want to know, and really want to know is: who will be driving the Manor's/Haas cars next year?

?

Izzyeviel

What if Martin Brundle had won the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix?

Izzyeviel

Cal Crutchlow in Motogp.

He's basically the bike version of Pastor. Got the talent and speed, but is a magnet for trouble!

August 28th 1994 - The Grand Prix début of Philippe Adams. He and his backers had an agreement with Lotus for him to drive in two rounds if they could raise $500,000 - yes, he was a pay-driver. The first of the two rounds was his home race at Spa, where he was nearly seven seconds slower than his t...

What about just having a very large windscreen, one that goes above the driver's head, but not so far as to make the driver inextricable from the car? I was going to say that would look cheap and awful... then I googled the Penske F1 car and I was wrong. You're onto something! http://www.f1fanatic....

He did win a race in 1990 when not too busy being outqualified by a Eurobrun didn't he?

1990 Portuguese gp was shortened when Mansell had a coming together with Alliot was it not?

No it was cut short because of Alex Caffi's accident.

Why arent people concerned with 'quick escapes' in sports car racing?

Izzyeviel

Was it Jaguar who had the inflatable donkey? Very apt.

My vote though goes to Alfa Romeo. The ultimate in omnishambles.

Meeting your hero's is always a disappoint or so they say.

Does meeting a reject mean you'll have an awesome experience?

Izzyeviel

I'm all for closed cockpits, but that design is hideous and doesn't seem to be much safer.

Izzyeviel

Vettel for blaming Pirelli for his puncture and not the fact he was busy cutting corners.

Izzyeviel

Bit of a legend, R.I.P.

Despite being French, Ligier was always a team you wanted to see do ok. He's certainly given F1 numerous memorable moments.

Izzyeviel

I can see Jenson ending up at Haas along with the Hulk.

Horner picked Seb and Nige

Please tell me Philippe Alliot picked the later two.

On this day 14th August 1977

The Shadow team scored their only race win, with Alan Jones winning the Austrian Grand Prix.

Also quite a 'what if' moment in F1 history - what if Tom Pryce had lived and not been replaced by Alan Jones.

More the next Bruno Senna rather than the next Senna
