Grand Prix Rejects

Here's the press conference 'fight' between Hakkinen and Irvine.

I miss that guy...there's nobody these days that just messes about like ol' Swerve. If only I'd become a racing driver...

Marc Gené http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Marc_Gene_2007_Montjuic.jpg/220px-Marc_Gene_2007_Montjuic.jpg Roberto Martinez http://cache.betting.betfair.com/football/RobertoMartinez320.JPG -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Gené has been mentioned previously, while there was nothing particularly lucky (that I remember of) in either of Zonta's 6th place finishes. Probably should have read previous posts... Did a bit of digging, and found that Zonta's first 6th place was virtue of Mika Salo being disqualified (2000 Aust...

That livery's not really gold, though. It's more a sort of...chundery hue.

The reason it was so late is probably because of a sponsor that was reportedly indecisive in its commitment to Petrov. I think it's a good move. He's got 2 tests to get used to the car, so he hasn't missed out on a load of time. I don't wish bad of Caterham at all, because at the end of the day he's...

Marc Gené? He'd be, by definition, a reject had Ralfie-boy not ended up with concussion in time for the '03 Italian GP.

I will nominate Zonta too, as he narrowly escapes with three 6th places for BAR...

Here's the A2:

I still love this livery today though...

Uh, Jamie Alguersuari?

Oh, and the song 'John Kettley is a Weatherman' mentions Ayrton Senna. He has the voice of a tenor, apparently.

For some reason, I have no memory of 2003 and 2004...I think I stopped buying F1 Racing at the beginning of '03 so that might be it...

St John's Surtees (St John's Wood - only tube station not to contain any letter from the word 'mackerel') Is this one of the Pub Landlord's pearls of wisdom, by any chance? I refused to do anything with St. John's Wood, because the chances are it would end up being a tad risquée...however I did do ...

Can I nominate Ralph Firman Jr.?

The only 'top' team with a test slot left is Mercedes. Red Bull already have a) Buemi and b) Helmut Marko, who we all know didn't rate Jaime. Ferrari have Gene and Fisichella, so I wouldn't imagine there'd be space for anyone else. McLaren also have 2, Paffett and Oliver Turvey. I think if Alguersua...

HRT's gold wreath logo is a little self-indulgent though...

A few issues ago in FourFourTwo, a group of people had renamed stations on the Underground to fit people, clubs etc related to football. So, I thought we could produce something similar for an F1 version. Names can be a pun on the station name, drivers or teams, or something related to the name. htt...

Not particularly rejectful, but hey-ho...

Jenson Button was born about 7 miles up the road from me...

The game had Da Matta down as DAM

Can't remember whether this is right or not...

Having an owner who sells wheel rims...

Or choosing to use the Ford ED V8...

Mine would be BOX. hehe...

This news was probably more surprising than when he signed up to drive last year...

Yeah, that was pretty mental last night...has he/it been blocked now?

Nice little slot for D'Ambrosio, he deserves it.

Red Bull: They start well, Newey pens the RB8 as a development of last year's car, and Vettel picks up a couple of wins. However, the car is overtaken by McLaren and Ferrari in terms of pace midseason, and Webber outshines Vettel in the second half of the season. As he announces his retirement, Web...

Old-timer

Can't believe HRT think they'll reach one of the test sessions...expect a scramble to get the cars together during the FPs in Melbourne, to result in a brace of DNQs.

I like the Toyota LMP...don't quite know why (think it might be the paintjob).

Webbo: "See everyone, I've been piggybacking Seb for years..."

I think Senna might do well. As everyone's consigned Williams to financial meltdown, the pressure's off him slightly. He might yet be focal point the team needs to push forwards. He deserves his chance, as he's barely had one (a year at HRT and being drafted into Heidfeld's seat when the Renault was...

I never minded the low nose F310, but with the high nose it looks like it has a double chin...

I share my birthday with Didier Pironi, Elio de Angelis, Martin Donnelly, Lella Lombardi... ...and the one, the only, the great Renato Pirocchi !

When Alain Prost won his last title ('93)

To be fair on Senna, he's not really had much of a chance in F1 yet. He's never had a full pre-season test program, let alone a full season. He definitely deserves a go in the Williams. Regarding DRS, the Mercedes was very good on the straights with a good balance of top speed and DRS output. Howeve...

I need to see the testing pace first before I buy into the 'next must-have gadget' hysteria. It will undoubtedly be a moot point if Lotus do well in Australia though, moreso than in testing as some like to sponsor-hunt with low fuel. @Wizzie: In relation to your sig, I went for sideburns à la Grosje...
