Grand Prix Rejects

Izzyeviel

I'll be a bit different and name Palmer as my reject.

This was a great chance to get a steady drive in and a chance to shine in the rain... and he bins it first chance he gets. On Renaults home ground.

Izzyeviel

I saw some of it, I thought it was pretty good. Matt was very good I thought, not so sure about Chris though. He lacks presence and authority I thought.

Izzyeviel

Good race... the BT/American commentary and constant adverts nearly ruined it for me though.

The autosport thread on the race is hilarious, apparently having the winning strategy means you are an undeserving winner

Izzyeviel

Rossi in 2nd!

Izzyeviel

Going back to cycling - Esteban Chaves yesterday and Igor Anton in the Vuelta a few years ago. Anton in particular was especially sad, he's never looked like winning anything since then and is now a domestique.

I'm sure Chaves & Kruijswijk will get another chance.

When was the first, first corner pile-up? Am I right in thinking that this happens more frequently from the 80's onwards?

Izzyeviel

OK here is my take on it, but first I want to go way back to a race nearly 2 decades ago when a certain team blatantly orchestrated a race win for one of their drivers over their other driver who I was, at that time a fan of and I was seriously bathplugged off at the time so ive gone through the fe...

Isn't the traditional racing colour of Italy blue??

Maybe we need an Aston Villa-themed F1 thread here.

McLaren surely??

on par with Wigan winning the FA Cup. good, but not quite Leciesteresque (that needs to be a proper word)

Izzyeviel

Brawn is the F1 version of Leicester... relegation form in 2007/8, Winners in 2009.

Although Jordan in 1999 would have been the proper equivalent had they been able to carry it off.

Izzyeviel

Rosberg hasn't read the script. If he keeps this up, he won't get dropped. (surely?)

I can see Palmer ending up at Haas or Manor. Providing of course that Ferrari drop Kimi for Grosjean... but why would they on current form?

Only if you have the agreement from every other poster

Izzyeviel

I'm practically annoyed with qualifying at this present time it seems like their isn't any point watching these days, It's easy to predict that a Mercedes driver will get pole, unless one of the Mercedes drivers have a fault or hiccup it seems really unlikely that another driver of another team wil...

Chinese marshalls thought F1 quali had finished on time and started changing the track for the Porsche Supercup... Bit of a way to go in China it seems. How long have we been coming here?

Which show?

I was happily watching FP3, and when that finished I went to have a shite and came back and they were showing something called 'Game Changers' So many ugly kids

Izzyeviel

why is my F1 livestream showing kids tv?

This gif really sums up Ron Dennis and says so much about him and Mclaren.

Why would you only take one set of a particular tyre? (looking at Massa/Big John)

Izzyeviel

Panis was brilliant until Canada '97... he was never the same after.

Anyway, for 2017, F1 cars should look like '96 CART cars.

Izzyeviel

I've never understood why they build narrow race tracks

Izzyeviel

I used to hope that the Birmingham Superprix would host a f1 race. it was quite a big deal back in late 80's, early 90's.

Izzyeviel

What were your misconceptions about Formula One when you started following this sport? I watched my first race in 2003, thus I thought for a long time single-lap qualifying had always been the norm before the (now again) current knockout system. I started watching in 1989, I always thought Mclaren ...

Bertrand Gachot sponsors the Force India team? is that right?

Indycar liveries are so much more better and colourful than the drab offerings from F1 teams.

I know all about Polandballs....but this has me confused

Are there any more Hills on the horizon?

I wonder if she'll be there again.

The wing mirror that stayed on Alonso's car. Probably the only reuseable bit of the bodywork.

Izzyeviel

I'm gonna nominate the Team Principals & F1 rulemaking in general - and no, it's not because the qualifying was a new thing which offended my purism. Rather the way it was hastily introduced and hammered through, then delayed, then the delay was cancelled, then the teams didn't understand how i...

It's on Karl Marx street and looks like a hammer. I hope the paddock is sickle shaped.

First GP win for a British constructor for 31 years?

Izzyeviel

I think it's gonna too complicated, unnecessary and will make the qualifying sessions more random but i'll give it a chance because I can't quite envision yet how it will work in practise. @AndreaModa: it's my understanding that most the backlash on the format doesn't actually stem from that they h...

By far the best looking car for 2016, if you ask me! For all the associations with other cars...
