Grand Prix Rejects

Wizzie, I know it's still early, but could you please open the Predicament Predictions thread for Turkey? I will be away for a university field trip for all of next week and so can't post my predictions after friday (CEST).

See Roy (Nissany!) run: Livestream of the second race of the German ADAC Formel Masters (somewhat like Formula BMW) here at 16:05 CEST. I gather Nissany was third yesterday!:

"Cannot be displayed" for me, too. But the counter really does sound extremely promising. However, this would mean that the last race was 4 1/2 years ago. Which it was not. Since there were two Teams USA (the second of which being Andretti/Green Racing, the first one I don't remember) - co...

Perhaps this is helpful: m Third from bottom you will find a recording of an Asiatech motor playing "When the Saints Go Marching In". Apparently, the Asiatech guys created this when the company (?) left F1. Also, there is a recording of a Renault motor playing "God Save the Queen"...

Isn't that the Bahrain-Contra Raceway?

Well it wasn't really worth the hype. But attracting MotoGP and calling it the "Circuit of the Americas" (which I like, even though it might be a bit presumptuous) is still good news. They are finally making the right noises.

I nominate the haters. This (and the one in Australia) were really good, interesting races - and still noone seems to be able to enjoy any of it.
Edit: Oops - just realize I already nominated the weather. Sorry.

Road America has nowhere near the infrastructure needed for an F1 race, I think Laguna Seca might be too small, and Watkins Glen owes Bernie money. Indeed. Also, they would all have to spend equally biblical amounts updating their tracks for F1's needs (especially safety wise, but also in terms of ...

Apparently MotoGP will race there from 2013

Another Spoiler Alert Ryan Briscoe is dumb. This is the IRL, not F1, there are no designated passing zones, and drivers are supposed to race. The stewards are also dumb for insisting that double-file restarts are the way to go. Also spoilers: Well, amazingly, I disagree with both of the things you ...

The weather - should stop crying wolf for 1 1/2 hours. No one is going to believe it might rain in China.

P_Friesacher

1. Heidfeld
2. Massa

Yeah. If they're not carful being lapped.
Better?

You should also write that on the blackboard 50 times.

You might well be right that a SAFER barrier would help in all these locations. However, it would not have prevented this accident or most of the others that have happened on this section of the track in Interlagos since the problem was the car going back on the driving line and then being involved ...

Back to some lovely rejectful F1, and whilst Badoer rolls his Forti in Argentina, we also get a good look at the hopeless Renault Clio safety car! I'm surprised Hill et al didn't stall behind it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHKbOl6jFOw&feature=related Love how Luca shoos that one marshall aw...

Don't think so. As stated above I had the exact same problem for much of the month of March. It has started working again (without me having to use a proxy) just a few days ago. Seems to be some weird problem with the forum.

They removed the chicane before start and finish, thus creating a rather long and twisty but still flat-out straight down to the Tamburello chicanes with walls rather near on both sides. Worked well for GP2 Asia but produced several collisions in lower classes, notably Auto GP and a horrendous accid...

Actually, old Imola was bad because it was to dangerous, old new Imola was bad because it was boring and new new Imola ia bad because it is equally boring but also dangerous again. All in all I don't miss it one bit - Monza I would miss greatly, though. Also, that Rome Grand Prix won't happen anyway...

Just as a precaution - could you please tell us, which page that is so that it can be avoided?

Just googled them - astonishingly rejectful.

My guess is that the name "ICE1" indicates it's Magnum ice cream.

HRT were still having trouble with the nosecone crash test

P_Friesacher

1) Barrichello - strong showing until committing to dumb overtaking attempt that cost him and Rosberg the race.

2) HRT - I know it's far from a surprise, but they were still exceptionally rejectful

P_Friesacher

"This could be you" is starting to sound like an ominous warning.

P_Friesacher

I was going to say Petrov and Pérez, too. But to add another voice, let me say Heidfeld and HRT.

P_Friesacher

great company

Apart from the fact that I was always astonished as to why a grown sports reporter might be called Jackaroo (which, as I have now learned, was not the case anyway), I am also sad to see him leave. Really liked that helmet-g-force demonstration in Texas last year, too.
