Grand Prix Rejects

Glad to see Kimi doesn't break his stride for the Press conferences: (C/P'ed from Autosport article) Q: (Jan Kotulla – Mannheimer Morgen) And to all of you, have you see the movie Rush and what's your opinion about the movie? SV: I haven't seen it. I went to bed, so sorry Niki, he was very kind and ...

Nah. He just needs to drop the h from that

I noticed the same during todays GP2 race. We never once saw a replay of the incident with De Jong and Richelmi. It was frustrating.

Grosjean had the better of Kimi most of that race. He's getting there. That much is true. But Kimi had the edge when it mattered the most. The way I see Grosjean is that he is a 100% racing driver. Shame that the ones who win championships are at 105%. I.o.w he lacks that final... SOMETHING to be a...

Grosjean? I question why you say him, as he is either fast and erratic, or slow and consistent, which won't win him anything.

Would you like gravy with that humble pie?

He still hasn't won anything. And championships aren't won in one race. Especially not when your teammate is faster than you

1. RoGro. Great drive regardless.
2. Webber. Talk about a recoverydrive.

Lotus Strategists win this out to me. A truly dumb call which most likely cost them a race win.

DonTirri

Two things. A) If your remaining options have the same amount of laps already driven as the primes of your main competition... DON'T RELY ON THEM. FFS, Kimi could've won this if he had either pitted sooner for Primes or remained till the end. B) Romain... if you are told NOT TO HOLD UP... let go of ...

DonTirri

What the scrap are the Lotus strategists doing??? Kimi losing several tenths a lap... and stays out??? C'mon Iceman, just sign with Red Bull already...

http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns25537.html I found this quite amusing (although I know most here won't). I do find Seb's love of collecting Fast Laps like trophies to be.... I don't know.......neat? Refreshing? It is a nice change of pace. I loved his "satisfaction" comment about it too. Ni...

Personally I find it highly amusing that everybody NOT blaming Räikkönen is down to some weird "Never say bad things of certain drivers!!!" conspiracy >_> I mean seriously guys? The fact is that even IF Räikkönen did leave room, they would've both ended up having to straightline the chican...

DonTirri

I wonder is CarlosFerreira bein paid by Perez or somethin, since he seems to be the only one who is blind and/or dumb enough to blame perez's crash on kimi

DonTirri

My nomination is a shared one going to the "Crash Bros" Romain Crashjean, Crashtor Maldonado and Crashgio Perez.
Well okay, Pastors crash in the race wasn't his own fault, but wtf was he doin fighting marussias anyway?

Que? What race you are watching? That was all on Perez >_>

btw, Mika Salo over at the Finnish broadcast called Maldo, Roman and Checo retiring BEFORE the race

1994 San Marino GP was the first race I remember watchingl Sennas death came as a total shoci, even for the 6 year old me. I do think that Senna died the right way. Far too soon, but since we all die eventually... Is there a better way to die for someone like Senna than going out in the lead, fighti...

Now for some more unpopular opinions: Great Britain hasn't had a worthy champion since Jackie Stewart. no, seriously. Let's look at the British champions since Sir Jackie and the years they won the title. James Hunt 1976: Yes, Hunt was a good driver. But let's face it, If Lauda didn't have his Nurbu...

I am going to stick my neck out here and say: Webber Now before you start flaming the everloving bathpluck out of me for nominating the forums favorite man, let's look at the facts. He finished a lowly 7th, while his teammate won the race in a dominating fashion. Sure, he had a low starting position...

I've been wondering... If for example Adrian Newey was given the 1982 rulebook and told "Go ahead, design a car that would be legal under these rules"... What kinda monster would he create? And if Renault was told "Go ahead, design a 1982-legal engine for the car"... What kinda m...

And of course you ignore the rest of my post Again, is it any of those three things if said women are voluntarily participating in it? I didnt ignore the rest of the post I just quoted what I found amusing in that what you were asking you provided the answers to. Yes, yes, you will always find wome...

So... Cheerleaders are wrong and should be removed too? I don't get people like this. Why is it so wrong to have things like Cheerleaders and Grid Girls? "objectification of women" "sexist" "archaic" blah blah blah. Hey thats great! You ask a question and then answer i...

DonTirri

What annoys me more is the post race ceremony where the walk to the podium is lined with clapping girls, what does this add? To me it strikes of "It is the man's job to race and the woman's to cheer them on." The young men do the racing, the old men present the prizes and the women are de...

I find it highly amusing that people keep dissing Seb on the grounds of "lolhehazdabestcar!!!!" I mean, look at times past. Clark had THE best car on the grid when he won his titles. Same with Andretti and Lauda. Not to mention Mansell, Schumacher, Hamilton and Alonso. Yet the superiority ...

Räikkönen at Red Bull would be hilarious. He'd probably just ignore any team orders, either by pretending languagebarrier or by telling them he knows what hes doing

Finnish Journalism is great. From the official Facebook of Urheilulehti, the biggest sports-magazine in Finland. http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/521706_10151555239609851_1196070922_n.jpg Rough translation: "There are people who celebrate silver. Then there is Kimi Räikkönen"

DonTirri

I personally think this is just a case of "F1 fans never being satisfied ever." I mean, people were whining all over place about the "unbreakable Bridgestones" for years, and when we got rid of them, people whine about the "Melts-in-a-second Pirellis". Seriously, I much...

DonTirri

Imo the best thing that could come out of this whole Red Bull driver situation would be if in the last race of the season we got Webber infront of the guy who is Vettels biggest challenger and waves him through to the title just to tell Red Bull "Screw you, I'm resigning"

DonTirri

And may I ask why the bathplug does anyone care either way?

DonTirri

There really is but one option: Mclaren.

I mean seriously. Letting Hammy go was a huge mistake. Also, the car is shite.

But on a personal note: Everyone saying "Lolvettelwinslol" Before/during/After the race/qually. So quick to judge. So bitter. And so wrong

DonTirri

Räikkönen wins!

What better way to start a season eh?

DonTirri

Too blunt. Acted incorrectly on the podium. Too bad english. Too slow. Couldn't develop the mclaren. His wife was too much in TV. Plus his car was too good. followed to infinity... .....you must never have discussed with the know-it-all-of-any-sports in the tables of any petrolstations and workplac...

And I don't think anyone here can come up with a criticism of him either. Or at least, a sensible one. I've heard this 'no one has a bad word about Häkkinen' statement here on these forums too, yet both Grönholm and Häkkinen have received a good share of slate in their home country...not as much as...

DonTirri

I ran into a very interesting line of though. "One half of F1 died with Gilles. The other half died with Ayrton" I don't think that's too far from the truth actually. Gilles and Ayrton were in my opinion the last true *Racers* in the sport, just fast men who wanted to drive fast and be bes...

DonTirri

Bleh. Stupid Finnish Defence Force restricting the time I have to follow F1 and most of all this forum. Made me miss the entire latter half of the season and looking at it, gonna miss the first half of the next. Frustrating since hell, we got a new Finn in! Also, I'm terribly late to any and all dis...

DonTirri

Kostas summed the situation up very eloquently. Besides, what does it matter what kinda person an F1-driver is? F1, like any sport, is about the result. Not the person delivering the result. Or on a more broader sense, the performance the put out. A drivers personality should matter ONLY when they a...

DonTirri

I do have to point out that Carlos has a point about the board favorites. Bashing Vettel is A-ok. But people flock to defence when Kimi gets trashed. (Oh and I get trashed for supporting Vettel, but that's neither here or there)
Funny how it works eh?

DonTirri

CarlosFerreira wrote:F1 would be better off without Raikkonen.

But seriously. Any reasons why? If that said Vettel, I'd understand, but Räikkönen?

DonTirri

I know this is off-topic but I can't resist taking onto the Räikkönen/Häkkinen debate. Believe it or not, I think it's a case of Prost/Senna with the two. Häkkinen was a consistent, fast and a smart driver who rarely put in a great drive, but did it when he really needed to. A la Prost. While Räikkö...

I don't really see Anderstorp making a return any time soon. I think the gotland ring would be a better choice than turkey because the Turkish government don't want to pay for the race Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Gotland Ring is incomplete, with only the northern loop (which is the smaller of ...

My roty goes to Every Forum member who keep taking it out on Vettel. He's good. Deal with it. Now for the real picks, and imo there is only one. McLaren Mercedes . They had two great drivers. A racewinning car, and then they throw away all chances of championship to unprofessional errors and technic...
