Grand Prix Rejects

Large Speed upgrade for Benetton, please.

Large speed for Dallara please

The Auriol experiment clearly hasn't worked. Coloni will swap him out with TD Mauro Baldi.

Life invests in a large speed upgrade.

Large grip upgrade for AGS.

Large grip upgrade for Modena.

Medium grip

A large grip update and a statuette of Adrian Newey to save Leyton.

Qualifiying - Belgium

Alain Prost took a fairly comfortable pole position for Ferrari ahead of local favorite Thierry Boutsen in the Williams. Gerhard Berger's Benetton and Ayrton Senna's Arrows will make up the second row of the grid with Johnny Herbert fifth in the second Ferrari. The top six is rounded out by Mika Häkkinen in the lead McLaren, in what was a disappointing session for them. At the back it was Geoff Brabham and Thomas Danielsson who will not be racing tomorrow.

Race - Belgium
Alain Prost took victory at Spa after a race long battle with his old rival Ayrton Senna, who drove brilliantly in the Arrows. Pierluigi Martini had a quiet drive and inherited third when Mansell and Capelli took each out seven laps from home and then Alesi and Piquet did the same two laps later. Érik Comas was another who had a quiet afternoon, but scores some welcome points for Benetton. Heinz-Harald Frentzen put in another impressive drive for Ligier to pick up two points and the final point went to Christian Danner who overtook Panis on the last corner.

Qualifying - Italy

Championship leader Alain Prost took pole position for the Italian grand prix to the delight of the Ferrari faithful.

Nelson Piquet is the lead Williams in fourth with Mika Hakkinen's McLaren alongside and Thierry Boutsen behind in the second of the Williams. At the back Perry McCarthy again missed the cut in the Ligier and he will be joined on the sidelines tomorrow by Jean Alesi after the McLaren driver failed to set a time.

Race - Italy

Gerhard Berger took the checkered flag first to move himself to within 8 points of the championship lead. Mika Hakkinen came home second to rescue some points for McLaren after their disastrous qualifying with Thierry Boutsen taking the last step on the podium, just ahead of his teammate Piquet. Nigel Mansell has a solid, if unspectacular race for fifth and Riccardo Patrese picked up the last point of the day for Tyrrell.

Qualifiying - Portugal
Jean Alesi will start from pole position for McLaren after beating Thierry Boutsen's Williams by a hundredth of a second. The Ferrari's of Alain Prost and Johnny Herbert lock out the second row, ahead of Gerhard Berger in the Benetton and Nigel Mansell in The Dallara. At the back Gregor Foitek fails to qualify his Onyx and reliability problems prevent Bernd Schenider from setting a time, so both Leyton Houses make the grid

Wat
I'm real happy with this result, although a major fluke and ended in 2 blown engines, it is pleasing to see them in a race.
I believe we're now safe from the last places.

Don't worry about the frequency of updates, post when you have time for it

Qualifiying - Spain

Alain Prost was untouchable round the new Circuit de Catalunya, taking pole by four tenths for Ferrari. Joining him on the front row is his title challenger, Jean Alesi in the McLaren, with the second McLaren of Mika Hakkinen just two thousandths off his team-mate in third. Fourth went to reigning champion, Gerhard Berger for Benetton. Fifth was, Nigel Mansell in the Dallara and sixth was Johnny Herbert in the Ferrari. At the back, it was once again Perry McCarthy's Ligier and Giovanna Amati's Lambo that won't be with us tomorrow.

Race - Spain

Alain Prost took a dominant victory in Spain, never looking troubled all race, even before Alesi's retirement. After his team-mates retirement, Mika Hakkinen inherited second and managed to hold off a charging Nelson Piquet in the last laps, with Nelson having to settle for the last step on the podium. Ivan Capelli produce a magnificent drive to claim fourth for Minardi with Thierry Boutsen having a pretty mediocre race to fifth. Olivier Panis came home with the last point for Ligier, just holding off Senna, who made a strange pitstop three laps before the end.

Qualifiying - Japan

Jean Alesi took pole for the Japanese Grand Prix in his McLaren, as he attempts to close the gap to Alain Prost in the championship. Joining him on the front row is Gerhard Berger in the Benetton with Prost lining up third. Completing the second row is the second McLaren, driven by Mika Hakkinen. Ayrton Senna will line up fifth in the Arrows, alongside Nelson Piquet in the lead of the Williams. At the back of the field, Alex Caffi fails to make the grid in the Lola, and he is unsurprisingly joined on the sidelines by Gregor Foitek in the Onyx.
