You two continue to knock it out of the park! Top notch!

Thanks for the replies. However, I'm still confused a bit. Obviously they're losing money, but is it all down to low attendance? If they just need more proper seating, they should be able to manage that. Unlike all the new tracks, they shouldn't have the enormous construction costs to offset because...

Will this be the longest podcast ever? It's going to be like I'm mainlining rejectdom!

There has been a lot of talk lately (with new races getting added to the calendar and others wanting races) about how Spa doesn't make money, is broke, yadda yadda yadda. What gives? It's the best track with the best racing and it's in the middle of a small continent with a wealthy population. How o...

Well, that was a quick and easily sorted thread. Now let the tangents begin... / Actually, I have a tangent I'd like to bring up. I think we ought to take nominations for the all-time best segments from the podcasts and then put together a poll with voting for the best. My main reason is selfish. B...

Jamie and Enoch should be. They're the only ones with any real interesting and funny ideas. (sad to say most of the F1 press succeed in making the sport about as fun as a root canal.)

I thought you were unfairly raked over the coals with that earlier post by the way. A little bit of hypocrisy there. The tough thing about this kind of question is whether it makes sense logistically. In other words, is Texas the best place to put this thing? Also, is the date given to them the only...

This is actually quite a good topic and the diverse group of people on this board would make for a nice sampling of opinions on it. The bottom line is I have no idea if the money trickles down or if the cost delivers sufficient benefit. However, it's still good to talk about because most of the peop...

You certainly have the gift of understatement Mario!

We don't know the terms of the sponsorship, but that is a big fish in a big pond in the business world.

Tim, you hit the nail on the head. It really needs to be Jaime and Enoch. This is why some broadcaster needs to finance them. I don't know whether they'd be suited to live race commentary, but I know they would kick ass in a "Talk Soup"-type formula one TV or radio show. Why one of the sat...

Daniel, you didn't offend anyone, I guarantee it. Your description is virtually exactly what I was getting at. I also agree with you regarding Vettel's antics. Especially when he did the gesturing in Turkey last year. I'd even give him a pass on it because it was the heat of the moment. I mean, just...

Don Tirri, I hope you stick around. But is it really so odd that Seb has fallen out of favor here? First of all, he started winning everything, and that is a major turn-off for people who tend to like the underdog/reject type drivers. Second, he beat Webber, one of the best-liked drivers by people a...

Okay, let's just look at this logically Mr. Boullier. 1. Which imbecile gave Kubica leave to race in a rally of no import weeks before the start of the season? This person, along with Kubica, deserves the blame for the lack of a "fist-pounding" presence in the team this season. 2. To the ...

Just wanted to pander in as I have just finished re-listening to the world famous Melbourne 2009 podcast featuring HWNSNBM's seminal interview (which alone would constitute sufficient reason for the existence of this website) and wanted to revisit this touchy-feely thread and reiterate it's message.

Nothing has the potential to make me laugh out loud at work and look like an idiot (not that I need much help) like the F1 Rejects Podcast. I definitely consider myself a male, hetero, non-sexual groupie of the F1 Rejects podcast.

There's something to be said for witnessing an historic season. If you follow golf, it's like Tiger Woods' 2000 season. The inevitability of his wins was offset by seeing someone at the peak of performance. As long as the racing is decent, I can settle for an inevitable Vettel championship.

Hamilton!

Why? Because Maldonado coulda been a contender, he coulda had class!

Row Man Gross-Gene

They'll do away with the white lines before making the penalties greater for crossing them (i.e. putting gravel or real grass back in). Yes drivers cross them all the time, but the cat is out of the bag. What sucks is I've seen drivers penalized for crossing some white lines, but not others. Evident...

Kobayashi! However, I predicted it would be him, which raises interesting philosophical questions about my true thoughts of the improbablility of the event.

Just a bump cause I've added a couple of new cars. I'm on a bit of a Gulf binge with the last few.

As a note, I'm also working on simplified versions of these that can actually be colored by hand with real, live crayons.
