GP REJECTS - CHRISTMAS COMPETITION!
In the spirit of the old F1 Rejects competitions, it is time for the first ever GP Rejects competition.
So in the spirit, there will be three competitions and you can enter all of them (although you can only win once...). Closing date is Monday 1st Feb 2016 at midnight GMT.
It looks very likely that McLaren Honda will be GP Rejects 2015 Reject of the year, so that is the theme.
1 - Haiku.
Take any aspect of McLaren Honda in 2015 and make a haiku, a three line poem that has 5, 7 and 5 syllables.
The F1 Rejects competition was about Takumo Sato and the winning entry was
Taku-mikaze,
your F1 career sadly
bonsai, not banzai
(https://web.archive.org/web/20061009163 ... index.html)
2 - Backronym
Take a name from any part of the McLaren Honda F1 team (including the team name McLaren Honda) and make up a backronym, which is making up a sentence using the first letter of the word in question.
The F1 Rejects competition was about Honda and My Earth Dream and the winning entry was
MY EARTH DREAM
Many Yen Expended, Awful Results, Though Helping Deliver 'Radical' Environmental Awareness Messages

3 - Caption
Take this picture and make a caption...

Prizes, yes there are real prizes.
You can win one of 6 signed (by the driver and not me) reject photos!
On offer is....
HWNSNBM (Hungary) in a Minardi PS04B - Our favourite reject in the car he scored a point in with an 8th in the 2004 USA GP
Piercarlo Ghinzani (Italy) in an Osella F1AE - PG entered 111 GPs with 76 starts, but only scored 2 points with a 5th in the Dallas GP in 1984. Which makes him the most entries and starts of any F1 reject.
Gabriele Tarquini (italy) in a Fondmetal GR-01 - GT entered 78 but only got 38 starts, but this puts him 2nd in F1 reject entries and holder of the most DNQs and DNPQs. Scored 1 point in an AGS JH-27B
Jean-Denis Délétraz (Switzerland) in a Pacific PR02 - JDD only entered 3 races but his reject status was given to him in the the first race with Jonathan Palmer saying "Yes Delétraz, really, here having no business in Formula One. And demonstrating it there: he's spending all of his modest effort, frankly, keeping the car on the road." as he retired being lapped 10 times. Managed to finished one race, 7 laps down...
Robert Moreno (Italy) in the Andrea Moda Formula S921. RM is not a reject but was in many Reject teams including Coloni, Eurobrun, Forti and Andrea Moda Formula that give him the honorary reject status.
Bruno Giacomelli (italy) in the Life Racing Engines F190. Journeyman driver BG score a podium with Alfa Romeo in 1981, but is more well known for his 7 year gap of F1 racing and DNPQing 12 times in the Life.
Just make a post and post all you entries in it, you can enter as many times in one or all competitions but only in a single post, so edit your post if you want to make more entries)! I will choose the three funniest in each competition and Winners will be notified by PM. My decision is final.

Re: GP REJECTS - CHRISTMAS COMPETITION!
1 Haiku
Describing Honda,
McLaren need just one word;
Arai or awry?
McLaren neutral?
Yes, but in only one sense;
Gearbox failed again
I am dead inside,
The world knows me only as
PU22
2 Backronym
(McLaren) Mobile chicane like Arnoux; Ron extremely nonplussed.
(McLaren Honda) Monumentally calamitous; last at realising ERS no hoper. Obsessively narcissistic - demeaning Arai.
(Honda) Hopelessly optimistic, no disasters anticipated.
3 Caption
"Ro, Ro, Ro my boat, gently down the field....merrily merrily merrily merrily, Life is but a dream"

Why in hell he's come to that?
Because Arai-San

"Nice chassis" they said
But Honda came into play
Just Manor behind

Points no more in bulk

Honda engine's stopped
Desperation's in the pit
Hope is for next year
-----
Honda Haiku's here
They came here to win again
Disaster happened
-----
Japanese winds came
To blow us all far away
But it was just breeze
-----
Much talk in Woking
Much pressure in Sakura
All the dreams are gone
-----
They came to Brazil
Alonso said: Don't bring my car
Just give me a chair

1.
A brand-new engine,
promising to deliver,
blatantly failing.
No title sponsor,
an underpowered engine:
Failure was written.
Button-Alonso,
a perfect driver pairing,
beaten by Sauber.
The car was hopeless,
sponsorship deals are lacking
and TAG is leaving.
2.
Jenson Button
Japanese Engine News Seemed Obviously Noteworthy: Being Utterly Touted, Though Obtained Nothing.
or:
Japanese Engine, New Spaniard Offered News Being Utterly Touted, Though Obtained Nothing.

Re: GP REJECTS - CHRISTMAS COMPETITION!
I'm no good at Haiku or Acronyms, so I'll just go for 3)
Alonso : "I hope F1 Rejects do an acronym competition at the end of the year, I've got this one covered - Result : Our Lame Engine = Xit!"

Re: GP REJECTS - CHRISTMAS COMPETITION!
And Honda-san looked down from his cloud playing the celestial shakuhachi and he said...
The Power Of Dreams:
Our engine winning races?
Just keep on dreaming...
On the cloud next door, Ayrton Senna looked at good old Soichiro and he replied...
Did I live to race?
With that lump I'd rather be
Back home in Brazil!
Back on the ground in Woking, there was a taste of Spanish rebellion in the air.
GP2 engine!
If they had raced Down Under...
We'd lose to Manor!
Ron Dennis tried to explain the team's poor showing in 2015.
Synergistically,
Our performance paradigm
Was not optimised.
This drew a round of applause as Ron managed to get the entire message through within the designated space limitations vis-a-vis the regulated construction of the haiku. Paradigm. Synergy. Synchronicity. Er... where were we again? Jenson!
Sorry, I'm busy.
Jessica is dragging me
Through the divorce courts.
And so we should leave the final words to Eddie Jordan.
Now, David, I would
Just like to say if I may,
McLaren were CRAP.
Well, indeed.

Hulkenberg can't win
Podium still out of reach
Perez outshines him
Manor trundle on
Rossi, Stevens and Merhi
Did all that they could

Re: GP REJECTS - CHRISTMAS COMPETITION!
Although Easter has rush passed, it is time to announce the winners of the competition.
I have gone through the ones of entries and picked out the three winners of each section, normally the ones that made me laugh. Remember that my decision is final, even if you do not agree with it
Haiku Wiiner - dinizintheoven
Now, David, I would
Just like to say if I may,
McLaren were CRAP.
I just read this in Eddie Jordans voice and it made me laugh.
Backronym Winner - Ataxia
Ron Dennis - Reliability Often Non-existent, Degrading Eddie's Normal Narration Into Scornfulness
Summed up Mclarens season to a tee. (Nonexistant can be written without the hyphen, as I checked on the OED)
Caption Winner - Aerond
"This is the most useful my helmet's been all season"
Simple yet funny.
I have PMed the winners, let me know what photo you would like, first replied first served, so give alternatives too.
Congratulations and see you for another secret santa and competition this year.
