Grand Prix Rejects

Buemi you tit!

Pedro_Diniz

Haha, Hispania just keep on delivering....

Ok the inevitable weather check.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/5019

There's a typhoon in the region which could hit South Korea by Monday, albeit much weaker than it is now. Even if it only rains on Saturday night, as predicted, that'll wash away any of the grip put down on an already green track. Interesting!

1) Mercedes
2) Sauber
3) Renault
4) Ferrari - I've grown to like the white strips...
5) McLaren
6) Toro Rosso - Terribly lazy, though.
7) Williams

The car has been impressive at some circuits but it's also been off the pace at others. They'll need to work on finding a balance if they want to seriously fight for points on a regular basis. I'm hoping they stick with Sutil and Fisichella (providing he does the intelligent thing and gets out of Fe...

Oh my...

Silly season!

I wish I wasn't so apathetic towards whoever wins this year's championship.

What's more wonderous is the commentary!

Pedro_Diniz

Yes, because that is *so* much more appealing.

Pedro_Diniz

It's moistening to think what is in those archives...

Pedro_Diniz

Doornbos.... another to the list.

Pedro_Diniz

.... now, who was driving for Minardi?.... Bruni and Baumgartner? They drove in 2004, in 2005 Minardi had Christijan Albers and Patrick Friesacher (both pretty forgettable). Hehe, precisely! Although I remember Albers for his fuel nozzle incident with Spyker. As for Friesacher, did he do ANYTHING o...

Pedro_Diniz

Schumacher
Barrichello
Monteiro
Karthikeyan

.... now, who was driving for Minardi?....

Bruni and Baumgartner?

Ok, I Wikipedia'd the Minardi drivers. Epic fail

Pedro_Diniz

Totally against them, perhaps they could elaborate on the Bahrain idea of putting a glue-like substance down to stop sand getting onto the track.... except make it even more adhesive and we'll see F1 cars glued to the run-off

Pedro_Diniz

I was just thinking.... Valencia is this year's European Grand Prix, and it was the European Grand Prix (at the Nurburgring) exactly 10 years ago that Luca had his infamous retirement for Minardi. Oooh!

Poor Luca!! 0.47 kills me each time, with the marshall consoling him. Good to have you back, chap

I don't think he's a mechanic, but he is always shown on the live coverage. What does he actually do? (Sorry that I couldn't get a better picture, I hope someone knows what ...

Pedro_Diniz

This just adds another dimension to what is shaping up to be a tight run-in to the title. How much of a bearing will Schumi have on the remaining races?! Bring it on!

Pedro_Diniz

What.... such an odd selection to play

Pedro_Diniz

In fairness, the pitlane was pretty much right infront of him... also, where did that Ferrari wheel end up? It literally just flew into the sky! That incident happened between the as yet unnamed left hander (HWNSNBM Corner) and Pouhon. Oh my! For some unknown reason, I'd always thought this happene...

Pedro_Diniz

Vettel got himself in trouble for driving round on three wheels in Australia early this year, Alonso should expect no different. Conspiracy theory : Neither Ferrari or Schumacher were banned when Schumi drove back on three wheels after clouting Coulthard at Spa-Francorchamps in 1998. More Ferrari I...

Pedro_Diniz

*titters*

It's 2008 all over again. The media will be all over Lewis until Valencia while poor Jenson won't get a look in. Cue Lewis on the cover of F1 Racing - something which has appeared as second nature for Jenson this season.

Pedro_Diniz

Gene and Badoer were unfathomably shite when they were racing Puh-lease. They were both driving absolute dogs of cars for the majority of their careers. Gene proved he had some talent when he stepped into a Williams a few years back with a decent performance at Monza. As for Badoer, he surely has s...

Pedro_Diniz

They're so tacky. There goes my dinner...

Pedro_Diniz

Lewis I s'pose....

Pedro_Diniz

Renault for an absolutely shambolic showing. It was all very Andrea Moda, wasn't it? What, with dangerous pit-stop actions, the team principal hot-footing it before the race ended - there goes any lingering doubt that Piquet will be gone before soon - and a disintegrating car struggling around the t...

Pedro_Diniz

I'm surprised Renault pulled this stunt with Alonso. But let's not forget that Renault were also involved with a similair incident in Turkey where they knew of a problem with Piquet's car yet didn't tell him.
Irresponsible!

Pedro_Diniz

Well, Bourdais has freed up his Sunday afternoons.

Quite the exciting life!

I'm banking on another turn 1 incident, what with all those KERS cars and the potentially feather-light Alonso ready to scrap for his track place, too.

Pedro_Diniz

Going with Buemi so far. Really hoped he'd make it into Q1 but 11th is still great.

Pedro_Diniz

Oh my. That picture is horrible. I really hope Felipe is ok and recovers fully. The Sky News report of the accident was quite horrifying, I hope it's not as bad as they've made it out to be. Excuse the tangent, but shouldn't an F1 driver's helmet be able to withstand an impact such as this without c...

Flav feels a bit of a tit. As usual.

Slightly off topic... but which driver has had the most irritating accent / voice? Of the current crop, I find Nico Rosberg unbearable. He sounds like a 9-year-old girl. When Kimi Räikkönen started in F1, his voice was terrible. Luckily his voice has got much better afterwards. Before that, his bad...

Now, does anyone have a phonetic pronunciation of Jaime Alguersuari's name?
