Grand Prix Rejects

Hi there F1 Rejecters! I've been a little quiet on the F1 driver interview front, but with a new season comes a spate of new interview opportunities, and I'm kicking off my Australian Grand Prix build-up with a chat with a driver who would shortlist in the 'You Lucky Bastard' category of Reject Cent...

All through that interview I was wondering if there'd be a "difficult" question shoved in there. Such as, had he ever seen Michèle Mouton race, what would his sister have said about women in motorsport, what would his reaction be if the film of his life really was going to be made and Ian...

Hello once again F1 Rejects readers! I've bagged another (hopefully super) F1 interview that I would love to share with you: a great chat with none other than Sir Stirling Moss, which I managed in exchange for a case of wine sent to his house! If you'd like to read it, please click this link: http:/...

I have no idea why I never saw this post until today, but that was another cracking read - it's always good to hear the views from the horse's mouth, what it was really like to drive one of those back-of-the-grid reject cars that nobody bar us wants to know about. I reckon it's worth compiling an a...

Marvellous. This is the first opportunity I've had to look here in over a week, so it's great to see another of these interviews waving itself in my face. Who's next...? Well, now that you mention it... we do have three possible candidates lined up in the coming months! First off, I'm going to be c...

Hi again F1Rejects.com readers! I've again had the pleasure of interviewing another F1 Reject, but no less a legend than David Brabham. David was kind enough to give me a couple of hours on the phone, and I hope you enjoy the end result. In our full interview , which you can read at this link - http...

The first race I watched on TV was the 1989 Monaco Grand Prix, I was six years old, and I haven't missed watching a race since. I lived in South Africa at the time, and we had moved house on the day of the race. My father got the T set up and plonked my brother and I in front of it while my folks di...

Greetings all F1 Rejects readers! I've been beavering away putting another long interview together, and I'm really pleased to share my latest driver interview, this time with former Grand Prix driver Tim Schenken. After I met him on the SENNA red carpet at the film's Australian premiere, he kindly g...

Unfortunately Stoddy wouldn't elaborate on the contents of this particular dossier when I spoke with him, suffice to say that it would have no doubt buried EJ had it ever been made public at the time... I'm really thrilled that those of you who've taken the time to read it have enjoyed the interview...

I'd be more than happy to help out with any profile piece for him; I've interviewed him a few times over the years and he's always been extremely obliging:

Hi all, As I mentioned about three weeks ago, I'd managed to land an interview with Paul Stoddart while he was in Melbourne for the SENNA premiere. Well, he kindly gave me a 90-minute interview afterwards where absolutely no topic was off-limits, and this is what we've put together: http://bit.ly/nU...

I've also just edited our video interview from the SENNA Red Carpet with Paul - including a rather embarrassing stall of the F1x2 two-seater! - which you can view here: http://bit.ly/oQskVZ It's the first of our series of Red Carpet interviews, we also spoke with motorcycle legends Mick Doohan and W...

I've just come back from an evening with Paul Stoddart, where I've had the pleasure of interviewing the former Minardi boss on every aspect of a fascinating time at the helm of the team: http://twitpic.com/5tg96z Paul and his two-seater F1 cars were in Melbourne for the Australian premiere of the SE...

This thread's been a bit quiet for a few days so I thought I'd kickstart it back into life! SENNA is enjoying its Australian premiere tomorrow night in Melbourne - I'll be travelling down to do some work on the red carpet - and I've just gotten off the phone with its director Asif Kapadia, with whom...

Hi there, F1 Rejects readers!
