Grand Prix Rejects

Right, lots of spaces left, who will take them? James Jakes was pictured at Sebring with Wilson, so he looks likely to return to Coyne. Tracy should go to Shank - can't wait to see PT's farewell tour. Teams with rides available are Andretti Autosport - James Davison and Gus Yacaman tested for them i...

jpm

So what has happened to Andrew Thompson? Did the job last year for Triple 8 and has now disappeared! Scott Pye, who raced in British F3 (pretty good prospect) will drive the Fujistu Monster car this year - wonder why he hasn't been given a shot at the enduros? Dumbrell is a disaster waiting to happe...

"Alon continued and practice on car of Formula Renault in the tracks in Hungary and even competed in several races national and raked a high places and goblets." Excellent... In all seriousness, Tristan Vautier or Oli Webb should win the Lights title, unless Stefan Wilson stays on, in whic...

I got Allan McNish to sign this weeks copy of Autosport I also met Subaru USA rally driver David Higgins from the Isle of Man, the 2011 British F3 champion Felipe Nasr, David Brabham, and Alex Lynn, Dino Zamparelli and Aaron Steele, who were or have been nominated for the McLaren Autosport BRDC Awar...

Only lewis Williamson, Carlos Sainz Jr. or Daniil Kyvaat; I'd say Lewis is most likely.

jpm

I was very surprised to see Petrov in 4th; I would have put him around 14th! And rosberg I reckon should have been higher. Nonetheless it was another great podcast chaps!

You forgot Luca Filippi and Adam Carroll were both originally members of the Honda young driver program. Two of the greatest talents of the last decade never to appear in F1 (plus Bruno Junqueira)

Anybody remember Nick Percat who won at Bathurst with Garth Tander first time out? Read my article about his 2011 season on TouringCarTimes, my first freelance article, and tell me what you think

Having said all that, Toro Rosso have the worst line-up so far, Ricciardo has done half a season at the back and Vergne has done what, three Friday mornings and a young driver test? I can see them slipping to the back of the midfield a la Williams 2011 n Couldn't disagree more. Bold statement warni...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/16187987.stm As Brundle tweeted it earlier " Buemi + Alguersuari have had a magic carpet ride to F1 courtesy of loyal Red Bull millions. They are not the next Vettel or Hamilton ." Well, quite. I'd expect better from Brundle. Buemi and Alguersua...

This is actually, Ricciardo is not taking now his place. Among Petrov's options, Caterham is not mentioned, so I guess Trulli is quite safe now.

You forget Karun Chandhok!

jpm

Ouch. m Yep, Buemi and Algguersuari out on their ears. I didn't see that coming! So, Chandhok to Caterham? Or could Trulli pull off the great escape and steal the hang up the keys award from Ruby? Senna, Petrov, Heidfeld, d'Ambrosio, Buemi, Alguersuari, Wickens, Sutil, Hulkenberg... I can't remember...

Fantastic! Best possible outcome, the only thing that could be better were if John Watson joined him in the booth: not that I don't like DC, but the Ben Edwards/ John Watson partnership is the bees knees. I'll miss him on the BTCC coverage though, hope they don't promote the god-awful John Hindahaug...

"Unfortunately someone published nonsense about Kamui leaving our team. Stupid. We are very fond of him, he stays with us!"

Don't panic Captain Mainwaring!!!

Admittedly its not revelant, but nome66's avatr is awesome

jpm

Its been said I know, but Grosjean is seriously good. He was much better than several of the current F1 drivers when he was in GP2 (Petrov, Chandhok, d'Ambrosio, Perez, Maldonado, Pic) and definitely deserves a proper go. If Senna were to go back to GP2, I think he would do well and could well be in...

Believe it. However most races will air on Versus, which not every American household has.

Darcyf1 is the solution to your problems! Not only do they have all the live indycar broadcasts but v8 supercars too!

Great news for Pagenaud, he was one of the best drivers around without a seat, so good for Sam! As for SFHR (new partner is Wink Hartman), Josef Newgarden has a 3 year deal. I hope Sarah runs 2 cars to help him along, but as Hildebrand showed last year, a rookie can coope without a teammate if they'...

Really chuffed that talent has been promoted over money. Grosjean was beating Petrov in GP2 in 09 before his ill-fated F1 move, and is now even better having won AutoGP despite onot doing the full season in 2010 and last yeard carried a mediocre GP2 team to its first title since 1994 (Jean-Christoph...

Gutted. Hinch and Servia were turning their fortunes around after a rotten 2010 with a Japanese pay driver (hideki mutoh). The best non-Ganassi/ Penske team and ROTY winner? As well as 4x back to back title winners with Seabass? Awful, awful times for indycar. Lets just hope they can all join Michae...

Saward voices his opinions about the Maria de Villota rumours. TBH I must say I agree with him on this one.

jpm

But then if they wanted money why would they be considering Grosjean? He has no money - just support from Boullier.

GP Update don't rate Petrov's chances of remaining there very highly... I'll support those notions about Grosjean taking the second Renault/Lotus seat. I don't think Petrov will be happy at being immediately shafted into a number 2 role once again now that Kimi has shown up. I think he'd prefer numb...

I got a retweet from RACER magazine on the Barnhardt issue; @RACERmag how about a commemmorative issue to mark the riddance of the monkey in the control tower?

On a completely unrelated note;

Wow, didn't see that coming! So Grosjan does a Pantano then and wins gp2 but doesnt get to F1·Sad times, Kimi for ROY in 2012

I would point out that it does depend a fair bit on what sort of role you'd want within the team, be it working, say, within the pit garage or working behind the scenes as, say, an aerodynamicist. You could even aim to work within a team in something that may only be tangentially connected to their...

I've heard that di Grassi is probably going to join the Peugeot LMP1 sportscar programe, for whom he has tested repeatedly. I doubt he'll want a second bite at the cherry with another no hope team.
