Grand Prix Rejects

I got bored, and since I love stats, I thought about posting landmarks in the rather short history of the forum.

Nice! I like this kind of stats.

I'm currently at 980 posts (well, 981...). I'll catch you!

I have no planning on dominating this forum, i do have plans on dominating the world, but i can make an exception for F1 rejects.

I remember when I was number 3 to Carlos and Gob.

Them's were the days, so they were.

I just scrapped into the top 50 posters, currently at Number 49. One day, I will get there. Especially seeing as Coops hasn't been on here for ages for some reason, and with Carlos and Hemo both AWOL.

Currently 89th. Not bad in the 4 months I'd been here. Plenty of people above me whose names I don't recognise so I'll keep climbing for a while yet!

Argh, I was quite close...

I would just make the grid. 23rd, so that's probably HRT. No, as it's F1 Rejects forum, Phoenix and CarlosFerreira will take HRTs. I will be Red Bull #2 driver.

So working my way back, i'd be Toro Rosso's number 2 driver. Not sure who would count as that though.

I would be Renault number 2 driver, replacing Petrov! I like that spot!

There was a time when I was about 20th or so in the number of posts...

I'm 27th in overall posts. When was the last time there were 27 cars on a grid?

I was going to say the 1994 Australian Grand Prix, but you mentioned the word grid so...

There were 28 starters at the 1956 British GP (with Moss on pole and Jack Brabham in last place), so that might be the last time that there were more than 26 starters on the grid.

Hold on, how would that work? If I currently have the 10th highest post count, that would correspond to my position (as Petrov has car No. 10). If we were to directly transfer the numbers across (i.e. Phoenix, with the highest total, corresponding to Vettel, CarlosFerreira to Webber etc.), No. 15 would be Paul di Resta. Alternatively, if we go by the FIA's system, where everybody below 12th is shifted down by one place to avoid having to use No. 13, that would equate to car No. 16, which I'm sure some will recognise as Kobayashi's number.

I am not sure of how it works, but according to this:

We seem to be following the 2011 Constructor standings (which appears to be, assuming redbulljack14 is the number 2 Toro Rosso), so you, Mario, would be Toro Rosso number 1 aka Sebastian Buemi.

What about any of the Indy 500's from 1950 to 1960? 33-car grids!

Thanks for clearing that up (though it still seems a little strange to me) - however, given that we've been discussing the possibility of Buemi being replaced, I only hope that I don't suffer the same potential fate as he may...

I suppose it depends how you categorise the Indy 500 races - whilst they were part of the WDC they were not technically GP's, and I had assumed that the question related only to what we would identify as a Formula 1 race instead of a World Drivers Championship race.

That had originally crossed my mind, hence why I didn't mention it sooner, but it was still a grid that counted towards F1...

I will now be 8th instead of 7th. This now means I am the far less evil and better Mercedes driver

So we can now call you Britney then.

PS, could you start spelling your posts so that they sound Scottish when I read them in my head. Thanks.

Dinnae f**k wae me sunshine, enough of yer racist pish. A willnae compromise on ma values an a' that just tae please the English nae less!!!
So basically, GET TAE YA SASSENACH.

I don't care about Britney as long as people acknowledge who would be in Schumacher's seat.

About the last time there were 27 cars on the grid, all of you, even mario (and that's really rare) are wrong. The last time was the 1986 Portuguese GP, when Allen Berg qualified 27th but was allowed to start the race regardless.

BTW, I'm really glad I'm heading something in my life

I'd probably be last

Well, Melrose, perhaps if you stopped rigging the damn championship, I'd have a shot at it

Oi! Do you want to win Spa and Monza or not?

That seems to be you, actually, with the Caption This! thread. I believe ADx_Wales started both Word Association threads and TMLW started the F1RWRS.

Sorry, my bad.

I'm up to 8th in the list of most posts, the Captain's down to 9th

I remember that, at the beginning of time (at least on the forum), when I wasn't even registered yet, Captain Hammer was leading the posts chart, at the then-whopping sum of some 1200 posts

This just goes to show my lack of charisma. I'm the Nick Heidfeld of this board, consistent points scorer but never able to do anything exciting or unusual

But Nick Heidfeld is slightly loved on this forum, he oozes charisma.

Even I don't believe he oozes charisma

Wow, I had no idea I posted here that much. That's quite embarrassing actually. XD
