Grand Prix Rejects

dr-baker

Ok, so my suggestions are not going to me entirely serious

, but people can be as serious or otherwise as they wish...

F1A : Formula 1 Alternative

FOA : Formula One Alternative

F1R : Formula 1 Rejecters (for rejecting FIA's F1)

I like this concept - pretty much a non-Reject of the Race, one whom you expect to be a bit rejectful, but turns out not to be, right? Or could it possibly allow for Jenson Button to finish outside of the points as well?

http://www.astrotheme.com/portraits/EvURXsRtJ354.htm The real reason Schiatarella failed in F1 is finally revealed. Too much Yin and not enough Yang. Sorry, made no sense to me whatsoever. Thanks for your brief explanation though. How do you know it wasn't too much yang and too little yin, though?

What, in the name of the holy pneumatic valve, are you people on about? I could google it, but I'm afraid it might be contagious. The daleks are recurring villains in DOCTOR WHO. The borg are recurring villains in STAR TREK. I don't know who the cybermen or vogons are; I don't watch either show - I...

Yannick has made no mention of Danica Patrick either way in connction with US F1's seat, but today on Autosport's website, she has been quoted as saying that she's more interested in NASCAR. And Natasha Gachnang, Buemi's cousin and F2 driver, is wanting a Campos test, having driven for them in Spani...

Doesn't matter; he has experience. He's not totally unfamiliar with thsort, even if it was twenty years ago. And that gives him an edge. There's a big difference between being a driver and being a team owner, and Adrian Campos has had more success with the latter than with the former. But being an ...

The TI Aida Circuit used for the 1994-5 Pacific Grands Prix was also a boring autodrome and neither of its races were particularly thrilling. With it also being in the middle of nowhere and very inaccessible (not a common concept in Japan, I will add!), it was wisely shelved after its second race. ...

The one problem that aa breakaway series won't suffer from is a lack of willing drivers. On the Autosport website today, both Massa and Webber have come out in support of a breakaway series. But there again, they both drive for teams that were given entries with their conditions ignored...

Jonathan Palmer is, in my opinion, better known for having a doctorate, commentating in a dull fashion, owning several British race tracks and now running Formula Palmer Audi and F2 rather than his driving career (including an F2 title...). He was a F1 champion in 1987! Oh yeah, I forgot that! (Tha...

And didn't Pele forget to wave the chequered flag for the winner earlier this decade at a Brazilian grand prix?

It's Bourdais's 2nd podium this year. Sebring 12 Hours...? Mentioned it earlier above? Oops, sorry. He has a future at these races then. No problem. But sportscar racing, particularly Le Mans, always seems to be an area of success for F1 drivers, rejects or not. After all, only 6 F1 Rejects in the ...

Congratz to F1 reject David Brabham for the win.

Frankly, I'm not comfortable with this thread. Its very unfortunate, and we don't know all the circumstances, and it seems an odd subject to speculate about. That's why I kept my post pure and simple and merely pointed to what the coroner said. We don't know much of what happened and any problems w...

OK.

Thanks Ross. I believe that you can never have too much @*#*#!*ck's. Always keen to have more.

That's not very good grammar... I didn't think a sentence was to begin with Because.

I'm less about the grammar and more about the creative writing.

As far as I can tell, this list was produced specifically to break up FOTA. I thought the politics was over today, and the sport would be back soon. Looks like I was wrong. You thought the politics would come to an end? Are you serious? Since when has politics ever left F1? If it's not the entry li...

I was a French major and agree that good grammar and spelling make posts much easier to read but also agree with civility over the issue and so long as the posts are coherent then occasional lapses are OK.

dr-baker

But he's already scored a podium... at this year's 12 Hours of Sebring in a Peugeot alongside Montagny and Sarrazin a week before the Australian Grand Prix.

I am actually quite disappointed that Lola didn't make it - I already had my heart set on them being my favourite team of 2010...

At the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix Gilles Villeneurve and DIdier Pironi finished 1-2 in Ferrari. However Pironi won after going against team orders and as a result Villeneurve said he would never speak to Pironi again. Why was this tragically ironic? Because it was true, he never did speak to Pironi...

Ah no contest, Lotus, Brabham and Tyrrell with Minardi buying back Toro Rosso to make up the four. Don't know of anyone owns the name of Tyrrell. Did it go with Craig Pollock to BAR? F1 Racing reported recently that Brawn was nearly named Tyrrell instead, but Ross Brawn' name just carried more clou...

I started following F1 in the early-to-mid-1990's so have a certain fondness for some of the teams of around that era - namely Minardi, Simtek, Pacific, Lola. I never really seemed to become infactuated with Forti, mind you.And I loved the Castrol livery on the 1994 Lotus, a beautiful car in my opin...

The following Autosport article seems to make it clear :

Following comes from an article on Autosport website :

"...Sources suggest that GP2 team iSport and Formtech – a composite components manufacturer arisen from the ashes of Super Aguri – have decided against entering F1 in 2010, as has RML."

dr-baker

It does seem quite amusing that it's easier to say who isn't entering F1 next year. :p But nothing from RML, and iSport and Epsilon Eskudi don't look too likely to happen either. Then again Team Superfund kept their entry off the radar until yesterday, so there's still time for them to confirm it e...

dr-baker

RML (Ray Mallock Ltd of touring car fame) have confirmed that they did not submit an entry for the 2010 championship :

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/75770

Are there many teams who were linked with entries but haven't confirmed one one or the other yet?

dr-baker

Just been on Autosport website and looks like the deadline hasn't passed yet and another team has submitted an entry :

I assumed that he had no further involvement, only what if? I was only speculating if Max were in the position Tony George of the IRL has been in for several years of having his own team and race series (and race track). Not in a good position currently though....

Just read a Formula 2 preview today and it read that all previous F2 champs (1967-1984) became F1 drivers. Brian Henton was mentioned as an F2 champ. He was forgettable. Doesn't have a profile on F1 Rejects. Does he deserve one?

dr-baker

Deadline for entering has now, I beilieve, passed and Autosport makes no mention of March or Minardi. Imagine if Mosely were indeed involved with a March bid (of which there is absolutely no link other than my pure speculation), what would he do with a foot in both FIA and FOTA camps? In my opinon, ...
