I have no idea what to say to that.


I have. After having read all of his posts, I have to say that the stench of SPAM is strong on this one (Specially the post in the SPAM thread). That of trolling too, but it is an harmless one.

Luca Badoer.

Miserable Thierry (Boutsen) staggers round mostly on ten cylinders (out of 12) with no clutch, low oil pressure, bad brakes and no grip to finish tenth, 3 laps down...

Takuma Sato

not sure he's the reject driver or not. He achieved one podium but all I can remember is his "all or nothing" reckless driving and spectacular crashes. It's really amazing he continues that style at Indy.

Reject drivers are the one who have scored (or would have scored if they had raced before post-2003 and current points system) less than three points, so Sato is not a reject.
Anyway I agree with you about him, he was one of my favourite drivers during his F1 years and I'm still his fan now he races in Indycar.

That podium and his 2 4ths, 3 5ths, and 5 6ths prevent him from being a reject ;)

He was, however, Reject of the Year in 2005 for being useless all year.

Yeah it was a shame 2005 didn't work out. A team as good as BAR in 05' shouldve seen him claim another wonderful podium. One point he scored wasn't it?

Glad he proved to everyone how mature he was with Super Aguri.

This. :lol:

I've always wondered why BAR's 2005 car was so poor compared to the 2004 model. OK, partially it was down to luck (Button finding the Wall of Champions in Montreal whilst on for a good result, and good qualifying postions wasted in the USA for obvious reasons that year) and the team being naughty, but the car was nowhere at the start of the season, until they cheated. Even when Button was finishing every race in the points in the second half of the season, it was only minor placings helped on by a lot of luck going his way. Maybe, like Ferrari, they couldn't adapt to those bathplugging ridiculous tyre regulations that year.

Actually, BAR's problem was much more fundamental than that. They simply couldn't get the front wing to work properly all year (I think they went through a dozen or so different variations of the front wing over the course of the season) which ended up plagueing them all the way to the end of 2007 and even beyond that.

thanks for the explanation. I thought reject drivers were the one who epic-failed in F1. :P

If Sato is not the reject, I don't have other favorite one. But my favorite reject team is Minardi. They were always slow, but somehow i always rooted for them. Oh yeah, The European GP 1999, that was the most dramatic race for Minardi! :D

Again, Minardi is not a reject team. With the 1960-2002 system, they have 32 points, a lot more than the maximum 6 to be a reject team.

Although, to have Luca Badoer driving for Andrea Moda as opposed to a gestält entity with Coloni and Lancia, that'd require a trip back to the 2011 season, and a huge rehash of the driver line-up...

Unpopular opinion time, 2011 was my favourite F1RMGP season.

I don't know if I can pick a favourite F1RMGP season. It'd have to be either Daggers' win in 2013, or Einarsson in 2014. But 2012 was pretty good too...

No, I'm saying that because I seriously do think 2011 was the best F1RMGP season. Not by a lot though, because every F1RMGP season has been very good.
