Grand Prix Rejects

Ricciardo's first win came from 6th on the grid.
In 39 wins Vettel's never won from lower than 3rd on the grid. And only 3 of those wins were from 3rd.

Chilton , definitely Chilton. If he hadn't have done that disaster I would have said Caterham. 1 second off Marussia in qualifying, I forgot that they'd taken part when the end result came on the screen because they'd both retired early. What a bloody disaster. But Chilton I'd say outdoes his rival...

That's like if, in 2011, they gave Massa penalties for every time Hamilton crashed into him. I called Hamilton at fault for their collision in India 2011. I always thought that the stewards penalised Massa so as to show that they were impartial, and not just penalising Hamilton (which they should h...

That's the first time Hamilton's ever been out-qualified by his team-mate at this track. Admittedly Button and Kovalainen were never exactly star qualifiers but when people say that it's Lewis's track I truly understand now. To paraphrase Jonathan Legard, if Rosberg beats Hamilton tomorrow, there's ...

Just thinking, what's the likelyhood that forum members could club together to write race reviews on behalf of you guys? They were always a popular feature, and I'm sure us regular Joes could possibly help out

I'd be up for that. Would take some organising but it could be done.

The no-pitting-under-the-SC rule should be re-introduced, especially now that the possibility of driver's fuel tanks going empty is now removed. It would also mix up the results, for example, Massa would have led in Monaco today if the rule was still in force. Of course if a driver has a puncture o...

Uh oh. Not on the big websites yet but I assume it will be by the end of the day

I never appreciated Senna's driving at the time because of his attitude, which I hated With all the saint-making that Senna gets, he in ways is a terrible role model. Nobody's perfect, but the fact that Ayrton is made to be the "greatest ever" (lol) really seems to have pardoned all his w...

He very quickly got pretty "Californicated" to quote the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I remember back in '07 he said he was going to be the same guy he always was before. He dumped his girlfriend soon after and has been on and off (and on and off) with Nicole Sherzinger ever since. I think he go...

Hamilton - "I is from da mean streets of Stevenage, you is all posh what lived in Monaco. Innit." Rosberg - "Yes, it was lovely." About right. The British press have been really into the "mind-games" idea all year. Rosberg's always been a pleasant guy and his team-mate...

Ello. Been visiting this site for like 2 years for the reviews and podcasts and in all that time I never actually visited the forum. Well the bad times are gone because I'm here :')

Damn, Button says the new track surface isn't causing as much trouble as we were looking forward to. Also, Christian Horner's saying that "our biggest test is going to be in two weeks in Montreal". What's that got to do with anything? They said after Spain and the testing that Monaco would...

The " genuine peril " we were promised! I was expecting some good-old races with 5+ retirements each with all the rule changes. Those smart-asses have already made their cars reliable again! At the same time, even with all the initial unreliability in the first 3 races, there's still 7 dri...
