On a similar theme... in Terminal 5 of Heathrow there was a 2007 R27 Renault painted in this years black and gold livery as some kind of Total promotion, when I went there in July. It might still be there. The people on the stand said they'd be there for a few months already. http://i48.photobucket...

Has anybody mentioned the "parc ferme" rule that has been in effect.. for.... well 8 years now .. came into being in 2003 right? I remembering hearing somewhere that if an F1 car was 99.9% complete there'd still be something like 100 things wrong it with it. With teh parc ferme rule and n...

I suggested this idea a few years ago but:- Award points for style like in ice skating:- Point worthy activities could include:- Actually trying to overtake. Crashing in a spectacular or amusing manner. Pushing Schumi off the circuit. Leading the race only to be robbed by bad luck or team orders. D...

I've always thought there's too much of the samey samey sameness on the calender with regards to what the circuits and events demand of the car. We need more variety so: 1. Austrailia - Albert Park: Perfect choice for an opening round, established, well organised, well attended, tricky street circu...

Taking the thread off-topic.... how many drivers have raced a GP on their birthday?

This game still on? I'll take a seat to fill the game if needed. Just send me a PM here.

This is one of the things I actually miss on current races. Until the early 2000s reliability was pretty low and you could expect at least 5 mechanical-induced retirements. Something could happen to the race leader (ask Mika Häkkinen in his championship years) and it's a variable that has been near...

Bit of a thread drift but ... why was the crowd booing when Button was being handed his trophy? Was it because he came in ahead of local Mark Webber? But then Kubica got a big cheer, maybe because John Travolta was presenting the 2nd place trophy? Or were they in fact displaying their regard for th...

Jacques Villeneuve, on BBC Radio5 Live's race commentary team. I think he'll suck but be secretly relieved he isn't in the HRT.

Nope, Sutil will be taken out by Raikkonen, giving Fisichella a clear run FTW. Sutil is too quick to be in a lapped position and too sensible to be taking out a Ferrari at Monza. What we need is Force India to hire a perverbial Jean-Louis Schlesser, but it seems Renault have already signed a French...

As an aside to this thread, what's the best drive to save a driver and/or team from then Rejectdom? I think Fis's podium for Force India last week has to be pretty high on that list.

Has anyone consider that it might not have anything to do the fact F1 is mostly European, nor that that favoured American route is oval racing be in IndyCar or NASCAR, nor that there isn't an American driver in F1 or the next level down GP2, but that one word that dominates ALL American sports........

The weight distribution could be an issue, but then that depends on the individual car design and tyre properties. Intesting point to make, as Bridgestone are rumoured to increase the front tyre width next year due to complaints this year about grip levels. The fact that all wheel drive will be leg...

Out of all the teams, that is the one I would have guessed most to have that particular fact. Considering that I don't remember, though, what team WAS Toyota previously? Did they start their own at the beginning of 2002? Well, yes, they did start a team from scratch for F1 in 2001 with a view to en...

I'd appreciate them more if they had a better name. A name that would make it easier to say out aloud on a podcast, say in an overly exaggerated way for effect ala Sssssssssssssssssssoooopah Aguri!!!

IntegratorTypeR

They have the curious label of being the only team in F1 at the moment who have not won a race in any of their previous iterations. All the other teams, even Toro Rosso, Force India (when they were Jordan) have won a race at some point in their history. So with their failure to convert a front row ...

I suppose we could have Jacques Villeneuve write and perform the official movie theme song.

If you want to make a movie about motor racing, you are going to fail. When Hollywood tries to make movies about racing, the people who are racing fans, ie: geeks like us, can spot the mistakes and errors a mile away. Cuts showing a driver stomping on the gas and changing a gear to get past on a st...

As much as I might want Lola to return to F1 and be semi-sucessful, facts dictate that possibly isn't going to happen. They tried their hand in F3 a couple years ago and the favoured Dallara chassis pretty much handed them their asses. Lola's customer cars in sportcar racing, (LMP1/LMP2) aren't alw...

Oh... there was me thinking this was a thread about one of Nelson Piquet Jr's qualifying attempts.

For all the Brits out there that were watching F1 last year on ITV, I really hated Steve Ryder, the lead presenter of their F1 show. I found him to be such a smug, self-important, full of himself d*@#head. I'm so glad I don't have to see his immensely punchable grinning face anymore.

OK, here's a contraversial one.... Valentino Rossi.

Is anyone else other than me disappointed that the change in regulations, although has shaken up the order, hasn't increased the gap in terms of time difference to the reject teams/drivers? I was really hoping for a return to the days of rejects being 3/4 seconds a lap off the pace. Maybe if Max ca...

Have you guys ever thought of franchising out the Rejects format to other racing series, MotoGP for example? A MotoGP Rejects website would be interesting to see come together.

Question - Has any driver left F1 technically classified as a Reject and then returned season(s) later to absolve themselves of Reject status?

If not, could I possibly put forward Pantano as a candidate to be the first?
