Grand Prix Rejects

Quick, someone check the record books: What's the highest a driver of the new teams has gotten in any qualifying session? Did Bianchi just set a new record?

Also, bloody Sutil >_< Both Massa and Bottas were on VERY quick laps before the flags came out :/

DonTirri

In the case of Button, I believe that he speaks a little bit of Japanese (which he has learnt from his partner). Jenson's Japanese skills. Japanese is an odd language, where there is a CRAPLOAD of imported words that have NO japanese equialent whatsoever. I mean, they have a complete set of alphabe...

And to top it off it was clear that having someone so recently-retired as Mark Webber do the podium interviews - albeit understandable in the circumstances - was a tad awkward especially for Rosberg and Hamilton. The only thing better would have been if Vettel was on the podium ... Oh I WISH Vettel...

DonTirri

Honourable mention to Kimi. I almost feel like he conned his way into that Ferrari drive to get another big payout when they have to again sever his contract early. More fool them for signing him. I really hate seeing drivers not giving a crap, when there are many that would make great use of that ...

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/114529 So, basically: when the safety car period ends, they will all stop on the grid and take a restart like it was the start of the race. I don't like this at all. Leave it how it is. Peter Windsor suggested double file restarts in this months F1 Racing...

DonTirri

Only one rotr really qualifies. Red Bull . Double DNF for STR, DNF for Vettel and a Hero to Zero performance for Ricciardo... in their home race. As far as Kimi goes, it's getting obvious that he's had enough. When he was told he was racing Button over the radio, his response? "I need a bit mor...

DonTirri

Bottas!!!!! Great race. The track is awesome.

Has Nico finally gotten the upper hand on Lewis? Seems so, atleast on the mental side of things.

As a sidenote: Can you imagine the awkwardness of the podium interviews if Vettel had won the race?

DonTirri

Massa - The guy can't cut it. He should've won. No offense but your post is slightly contradictory, you're suggesting Massa is pants but more than capable of winning the race? Not really, since Massa's win would've been NOT thanks to his own efforts, but because others had misfortunes out the wazoo...

DonTirri

And the championship goes to Britney. What bathplug bullshit. I've felt this ever since Australia, and it might seem harsh or something, but... I want Rosberg to have a couple mechanical failures to balance things. I don't. To put it simply, if Hamilton never wins the title again, I'll be a happy m...

DonTirri

Oh right. THE FRAK IS UP WITH THE DIRECTORS THIS YEAR? Totally craptasticular TV direction race in race out. a tense fight in the midpack? Better show the Mercs cruising in solitude. A tight intra-team battle for the win, with the 2nd place guy attempting an overtake? HEY, HERE IS HIS GIRLFRIEND! Ov...

1. Daniel. Ricciardo. Man, what a drive. I can already see Mark Webber weeping to his drink somewhere mumbling something about "but he's the no.2 driver... he's the no.2 driver" 2. I WOULD'VE given this to Massa had he not been a total bathplugging moron and steamrolled into Perez. Because...

DonTirri

I am not going to nominate Mercedes because their woes brought some much needed spice to a dull fight for the win. I am also not going to nominate Chilton because quite frankly, he's so much of a joke anyway. I am going to nominate FELIPE "AND THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING BUT A GLORIFIE...

DonTirri

*facepalm*

That is all

DonTirri

IF. and I mean IF Rosberg wins the title this year, will he suffer from the Button/Mansell/Hill-syndrome of "Oh he's a quick driver alright, but the only reason he won that title was because the car was simply miles ahead of everyone else"? Because Merc this year is looking a LOT like 2009...

Same goes the other way around. Case in point, Sebastian Vettel.
(Yes, I know, practice what you preach. I still won't aknowledge Alonso or Hamilton as good drivers. I am a honest hypocrite)

- Magnussens chop was a moment of "You gotta be kidding me..." Kimi was in position to fight for top points. I wasn't too surprised to see him just cruise around for the rest of the race. Annoyed yeah, but not too surprised. !? Chop!? He was right on the kerb! The only person who moved wa...

DonTirri

My quick cliff notes of what stuck to mind. - Damn that Merc is fast. Shame it was the wrong guy winning :/ - Red Bull aren't THAT beaten it seems. As long as they remain in one piece and don't screw up (Poor Ricciardo :/) they're the only ones to match Mercs. Which annoys me. - I had fun for the la...

Kimi will win a race before Alonso does this year. Bottas will score a podium before Kimi does. Any takers? I'll take you on the Kimi/Alonso bet. I bet Alonso will win a race first. I'd go for the other one, but I also believe #BOTTAS will score a podium first. You're on. https://encrypted-tbn1.gst...

Kimi will win a race before Alonso does this year.
Bottas will score a podium before Kimi does.

Any takers?

I decided to do some research on the longevity of teams and the general stability of teams both top end and low end on the last few decades. Some quite interesting finds. 2000 - 2014 Teams that started the 2000 season: 11 (McLaren, Ferrari, WIlliams, Jordan, BAR, Jaguar, Benetton, Prost, Sauber, Arr...

Sigh. That wasn't even funny unless you have the mentality of a 12 year old. We are F1rejects. If someone has reject potential, we celebrate them. Not bash. That kind of behaviour belongs to AS or somewhere else. I for one will look forward to her shenanigans with Williams.

DonTirri

Eh. We've had "crappy posting" since day 1. Back then people just had a thicker skin so we didn't have incessant moaning about them. Nor did we have stupid 'injokes" stemming from other subforums in such a huge quantity. I mean, I was considered one of the more obnoxious guys around, ...

DonTirri

Dammit. While I was never the biggest fan of Schumacher, one might even say I even hated him when he raced... I would never wish such a fate for anyone. Here's hoping that he makes a full recovery. Losing him would be a major blow to the world of F1, retired or not.

Anyone who whined about Pirelli tyres early in the season: You got what you wanted. Be happy now.

9gag can be enjoyed the same way Youtube can be enjoyed: Look at the content. Pretend commentsection doesn't exist. Profit.

DonTirri

There can be only one.

1st: Kimi Räikkönen. From 13th to 3rd with a bad back. Also, a SWEET overtake on Button.

DonTirri

Who tells Raikkonnen that Alonso is faster than him? More importantly: How rudely will Räikkönen ignore them. "Kimi, Fernando is faster than you." "Don't talk to me in the middle of a corner!" "Kimi, Fernando is faster than you, do you understand?" "Yes, yes yes, ...

DonTirri

I absolutely loathe the fact that Kimi goes back to Ferrari. Why? Because I STILL can't stand ferrari. I absolutely loathe the team, their way of doing business and their tendency to think that they're bigger than F1.
So now that my absolutely favorite driver drives with them again... Ah well.

DonTirri

The hate Vettel is getting really stems from one thing. Or atleast a large part of it in this particular community: The fact that his teammate is everyones favorite Australian. No, seriously. And if you think Vettel's or even Schuey's total dominance is something new to the sport... Jackie Stewart's...

If it was the last race of 2013 and Webber was leading ahead of Vettel with Vettel having to win to secure the title and Webber playing no role in the title chase — what would happen? Webber would let Vettel past just coming on to the pit straight although knowing Mark… He'd probably do what any aw...

Valerie Bottas - Outperformed all day by The Reverend, until his engine went pop. Wait, you're nominating a ROOKIE for being outperformed by his more experienced, race winning teammate (who he has been quite even thus far) in a car that CLEARLY had issues? Also. Valtteri. If that wasn't an intentio...

DonTirri

Except for Alonso and Ferrari, but nobody cares what they think anyway. Yeah, because it's not like they have any fans or anything. A time penalty won't do anything unless it's more than 20 seconds, since Grosjean got one himself for the contact with Button. Alright, I'll fix it. Nobody RELEVANT ca...

DonTirri

Stick a 10 or 20 second penalty on him and call it good. RoGro gets up one position and everyóne is happy. Except for Alonso and Ferrari, but nobody cares what they think anyway.

DonTirri

Screw Hamiltons win. Did you see how Kimi managed to keep Vettel behind him? That once again shows that Kimi still has it. Also, a damn shame for Romain, I genuinely wished him to win or atleast be on the podium. What intrigues me is what the "Fail 22, 22 Fail" call that both Seb and Mark ...

DonTirri

This upcoming race has two outcomes that I would highly enjoy:

A) Grosjean wins.

or

B) Grosjean bins it in the first corner, taking Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso with him, leaving Kimi to coast into an easy victory.

Murry Walker is the greatest f1 commentator ever In the English language yes and I'm yet to find someone who is better.

Pshh, the only reason Vettel is unpopular amongst the majority of F1 fans is because of the heads of the Red Bull team. I've found that the things that Horner, Marko, etc, say give Vettel a bad vibe. Move him to Ferrari and the tifosi will fall over head over heels for him. Ditto for McLaren, and a...

I'm sick of people moaning that Vettel is "lucky" or that he gets superior equipment to Webber. So much so that I looked it up. By my count, since the partnership started, Vettel has retired through car failures at Hungary 2009, Europe 2009, Australia 2010 , Korea 2010 , Abu Dhabi 2011 , ...

I know he's gone all JV on us these days, and it's easy to forget, but for the intervention (or lack) of Timo Glock, Massa would be the 2008 world champion. I wonder if he'd been faster then Fernando, a year to the day after his crash, if he wouldn't be more competitive now. I think that's a fairly...
