Grand Prix Rejects

Wigan relegated, so the bottom 3 now sorted out. Final day interesting still, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham all playing out for champions league. Chelsea are 2 points and 1 goal difference ahead of Arsenal. If Chelsea and Arsenal win it stays the same. If Chelsea draw, Arsenal can take 3rd if ...

League 2: Barnet: They have been League 2's version of Wigan Athletic for some time now and it was a case of one relegation battle too many for the bees. To stay in League 2 for 8 years is still respectable but they had to let go at some point. Yet Barnet had arguably the best second half of the se...

Just as well Udines...I mean, Watford, weren't promoted. Imagine how rubbish their team would be if they had to rely on players signed outright alone. Still got Playoffs to come though. Dont really care who goes up! If I lean towards someone, it will be Crystal Palace, but mainly due to the Aussie ...

m Official site. What Im happy is that most have kept original liveries. Maybe the odd sponsors have changed but the majority of livery is the same. Going by some of those pics from the site, im slightly suprised that some still have kept tobacco decals on, but not dissapointed. I like cars how they...

And the Serie A 2012/13 ROTY goes to... Inter's luck . bathplug hell, another injury. How many players are left? Left? Let me think... GK Samir Handanovic Juan Pablo Carrizo Vid Belec DF Jonathan Moreira Andrea Ranocchia Juan Jesus Christian Chivu Alvaro Pereira MF Zdravko Kuzmanovic Mateo Kovacic ...

Just on Mansell and his gearboxes, In San Marino 1991, on the grid he qualified in the top six (cant remember exact!) but the gearbox had a mind of its own, which dropped him to the middle of the back and was then collected by Brundle eliminating the Williams Indeed (he also had problems in Brazil ...

Just on Mansell and his gearboxes,

In San Marino 1991, on the grid he qualified in the top six (cant remember exact!) but the gearbox had a mind of its own, which dropped him to the middle of the back and was then collected by Brundle eliminating the Williams

David AGS

Im a big Gunners fan, can I mention Tottenham? (Well too bad, I did!) Seriously, Arsenal themselves had some many rejectful moments. In 2002-2003, should have won the title. Was 6 points clear with 3-4 games to go, only for the Gunners to draw v Utd and Liverpool (on memory), and lost to Leeds 3-2 a...

As a 'younger' fan learning about technical stuff in F1, when he got technical director, he mainly used a design with the airbox with an upside down 'U' and a little kink on the base. Im sure someone will post an image.

How there going, Stramala clean up those boots, you might be needed.

Is the Obi who was on loan to Parma, DM?

To sort of add to the list, Mariga McDonald has hardly played for Parma since his loan in January, still issues with his knee

David AGS

Im happy that Cardiff have been promoted. Ive been sort of checking their results on a weekly basis, I think they do great for football and have produced some cracking players over the years through their academy, or taking little known and turning them around. Joe Ledley, Aaron Ramsey, James Collin...

David AGS

Wizzie, Yes indeed. Nannini continues in 1991 beside Piquet but results are not like 1990, despite that Piquet has a lucky win, but Nannini fails to score a podium mainly due to reliability issues. Meanwhile, Benetton sign Michael Schumacher 'on a long term contract' from Jordan, but finishes the se...

David AGS

I hope Villa stay up. I think they are going the right way in terms of developing stars and may have peaked at the right time of the year. Fotunately/Unfortunately I think it will be a straight fight between Sunderland and Stoke for survival. Its going to be close but I think Black Cats to stay up, ...

David AGS

What I have read yes, Martini was next in line. Saying that though, I think they wanted Nannini, but they offered him a poor deal so literally told them (Ferrari) where to go. If Nannini did join Ferrari, Capelli would have gone to Scuderia Italia Dallara, and Martini would stay at Minardi. Did Tyrr...

David AGS

This is a great find. I knew like most that Minardi had done a deal with Subaru, and the deal with Coloni but the detail here is great.

The engine looks very large and chunky indeed!

David AGS

That car looked like it wanted to bury itself in the nearest tyre wall at any give opportunity. Bianchi is bloody good if he's battling the Williams/Toro Rosso lot whilst fighting his car all the way. I guess it was similar to Alonso's performance in the Minardi in 2001. According to Gustav Brunner...

A nice reject moment in the Crystal Palace-Barnsely game yesterday: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/06/article-2304929-1921E441000005DC-69_634x379.jpg The shirt sponsor would be happy. Actually, I remember that 2005-2006? When Arsenal played Hamburger FC in the Champions League. Due to Fly E...

David AGS

Liverpool comming to Melbourne! Oh I will be going to see them thats for sure, to hopefully see my team (Melbourne) beat the Reds! Positive thing is that they SHOULD be bringing a strong side. But Melbourne's record against 'bigger' sides is not good: Juventus, we lost 4-1 (weak side), Fulham we los...

For those who arent aware, the F1GP game did have a driver name editor (not a seperate, actually in the game) so most would have edited the names if they could be bothered.

The helmets are realistic on the driver selections menu though!

David AGS

On the Williams, I do recall reading somewhere that McLaren were very close to landing the SEGA money but Williams got the nod. In revenge, McLaren put logos of a squashed hedgehog on the car or something like that. A similar topic was discussed in 2010, re Ferrari livery and that hedgehog appears t...

David AGS

That game brings back great memories! Jose Fernandez (very spanish)= Pedro Chaves. I just remember the 'Duckhams' podium, with the winning driver popping the champagne (you dont get that in F1 2012!!) and also you can get hit from the rear and bends your rear wing but your engine is good (you just c...

David AGS

I think Paolo will do well. Certainly got a bit of passion. Experience is an issue, but can see them stay up. Whether a permanent position not sure. I think O'Neill was unlucky. The previous manager was backed with a big budget and did little, O'Neill did with what he could. Remember too that Steven...

David AGS

(Once again, apologies if said before!) Apparently, for 1996 Mark Blundell was rumoured for the Sauber drive in 1996 beside Frentzen. (They almost crashed in Australia 1995 though!) What would have happened if Blundell got the drive. Where would Johnny Herbert be in 1996? What would have happened if...

David AGS

Happy with the Gunners. Yes, I know we play Reading (who have recently given Utd a greta match and arguably should have been given a penalty but penalty calls are rarely given against Man Utd!) but we looked really good. Such a different team when we score early, I know thats the obvious but they we...

David AGS

RIP Mr. Martini

I be honest, I know a fair bit on Mr. Minardi but little on Mr. Martini.

David AGS

Interestingly enough, Matt Preston was a motorsport journalist many moons ago. But I suspect the Masterchef gig pays far more handsomely in the end. Yes, I knew about Presto. That story comes up every year! One HD/ Ch.10 got A.Jones now, im sure he will talk about first grand prix win... Actually, ...

David AGS

Here's one just for the hell of it: During the 2013 Australian Grand Prix, for some reason unbeknownst to man, ONE decided to interview the chef at Force India. Which former driver did he say was the fussiest eater he'd ever have to cook for? I know the answer. Not really surprising was it when you...

David AGS

LOL. I managed the Finnish national side in Championship Manager a while ago. In the squad had Enckleman as GK (remember him Villa/Birmingham fans!). Forsell, Toivio, Riihilahti, Eremenko, Hyppia (captain) Tainio and Lauri della Valle (young gun at Fulham) to name a few. Had a few good EPL players i...

David AGS

I thought JB drove a great race should have finished 5th. A great improvement compared to last week.

He thought a podium was in reach, not sure maybe he kept his tyres in great shape and ran longer than most.

If the top 4 collided, JB would have won. Imagine that!

David AGS

England and San Marino is a big game, for the latter. You have to remember, representing your country in what ever you do ahows that you are proud and patriotic. Also, for those part time footballers, who yes, im sure are well documented playing against their 'heroes' is a memorable event. Like my n...

David AGS

Max Chilton/ Charles Pic 2013 driver cards??

Maybe soon, maybe not!!

David AGS

Probably the last ever HRTF1 post,

but...

I did observe a few fans at the Australian GP (4-5) people had T-Shirts made up with 'WE MISS NARAIN'. Not sure if there regular forum members or just doing it for the sake of it, probably the latter

David AGS

Yes. I'm actually not to bothered that we got eliminated anymore - what's far more important is that we played like a motherf***ing unit for once. Cambiasso, Cassano and Palacio were linking up nicely. Even JONATHAN played well tonight, which speaks volumes. The only player who didn't pull his weig...

David AGS

Being a Melbournian, and a regular atendee to the race, Ill opt out as know em all, they do look different though!

May I point out that you have 2 pics twice!

David AGS

Still early on Bianchi, but has started really well. Not so good for McLaren duo! Was at track, weather was great. Have signatures of a few drivers and team members. Visibly, state the obvious but Caterham look slow, while Williams, Force India and Ferrari have loud noises (presume gearbox changes) ...

David AGS

I know you lot dont like certain journos (in particular this one), but the journo with the initials J.S. has put his money that Glaxo Smith Kline will be on McLaren next year. Im sure someone can put that logo on the silver car. However, I spoke to a former F1 driver yesterday (at the GP, no bs) who...

David AGS

Tbh, even if the club does get takenover by a squillionaire, I can't see Wenger splashing out on marquee players. Its just not his way of doing things. He prefers to sign players with potential, rather than the finished product. I disagree. We all know theres money comming in in terms of players so...

David AGS

Hes going to Arsenal done deal, a la Sol Campbell! LOL BTW, I cant recall Arsenal having a Sat/Sun/Mon off during the season (omitting International games) Just shows where were at at the moment, and if we dont invest were gonna be worse than Liverpool in their current situation. Lets see if this Qa...

RIP Ginny.

On womens international day
