Grand Prix Rejects

25 years old, and it still sounds like it was made yesterday.

Just saw "The Force Awakens" today a little later than most. (By some miracle I managed to avoid being spoiled these two long weeks.) I thought it was an overall fantastic experience. It is way better than the prequel trilogy. The special effects, and action scenes were great. But it was t...

DOSBoot

1. Williams: Threw away a potentially good result this weekend.

2. Verstappen: Was trying a bit to hard.

Dishonorable Mentions:

Sauber: Very slow.

DOSBoot

A little late to the party, but.......

1. Grojean: In his last race for Lotus, he gets the car home to 10th.

2. Perez: Another brilliant performance from him.

Honorable Mentions:

Raikkonen: Great drive, but why wasn't he like that earlier this year?

Force India: A double points finish.

DOSBoot

1. Renault: You know you're in trouble when your new engine is worse than your old one.

2. The Race Itself: Brazil is usually a cracker. This one wasn't.

DOSBoot

1. Hulkenburg: Not much of a surprise given that he's good at Interlagos. But it was a good run for him after a few lackluster races.

2. Grojean: Another points result for Lotus.

Max Verstappen watches the repeat of this years Italian Grand Prix.

DOSBoot

1. Ferrari: Both drivers were crap today. Raikkonen's second collision with Bottas after not learning the first time cost him dearly. Vettel's incidents with Riccardo, and his spins put him to shame.

2. McLaren Honda: Alonso out on the first lap, and Button slower than molasses in January.

DOSBoot

1. Kvyat: He held on to 3rd for that long, and still finished 4th? Give this man a cookie!

2. Perez: Pretty solid result on his home race.

Honorable Mentions:

Bottas: Another well earned podium for him.

Rosberg: Didn't screw up for once.

DOSBoot

1. Rosberg: Pretty much threw away any hope he had in the drivers championship with that silly little error. 2. Red Bull: Also threw away a possible podium result with their silly little errors as well. Dishonorable Mentions: Williams: Double DNF. Hulkenburg: Yet another silly move that cost him de...

DOSBoot

1. Rossi: Agonizingly close to scoring points on his home turf. Aside from running into the back of Stevens, he was pretty much flawless the whole race. 2. Verstappen: Almost a podium for Torro Rosso. Honorable Mentions: The Race Itself: Aside from the predictable top three, it was by far the best ...

Long overdue for some synthwave. Here's my contribution for the delay.

DOSBoot

1. Raikkonen: Very desperate move there.

2. Hulkenburg: You were looking so good in practice, and qualifying, and you screw it up on the first lap!

Dishonorable Mentions:

Verstappen: Really poor race for him.

Russian Marshall: First the guy at Singapore, now this!

DOSBoot

1. Perez: Podium for Force India.

2. Nasr: Unrejectified!

Honorable Mentions:

Sainz Jr.: Took a lot of courage to get back in that car after that nasty accident.

Bottas: Shame that his luck didn't last.

DOSBoot

1. Red Bull: Hell, even Manor were giving them a run for their money.

2. Honda: I think GP2 engines are faster than them right now.

Dishonorable Mentions:

Massa: Hung around in the back for the whole race after his bad start.

Sainz Jr.: Threw away a very good result today over a pole.

DOSBoot

1. Lotus: Considering their financial woes are so bad right now they might not make it to the end of the year, they had a pretty solid result. 2. Hulkenburg: The best of the midfield drivers. Honorable Mentions: Manor: Both drivers did an excellent job of saving the cars. Alonso: Almost made it int...

I didn't realise the correlation between F1 fans and Genesis fans on this board I mean the moment you said they'd reformed I checked the internet to see if they had! And obviously that's the Ray Wilson era of Genesis that we're all talking about, yeah? Well I guess I'll go play my Sega Genesis, whi...

1. The Guy Waking In and Out of the Track, and the Security Who Failed to Enforce It: Pretty self explanatory.

2. McLaren: Yet ANOTHER double DNF.

Dishonorable Mentions:

Hulkenburg and Massa: Both of them for their silly little collision.

DOSBoot

1. Rossi: Kept his head cool the entire race, and finished well ahead of his teammate, in one of the most demanding tracks of the calendar. 2. Verstappen: Stalled at the start, and was a lap down. Yet, still managed to finish 8th. Honorable Mentions: Sauber: Great driving from the two drivers is so...

George: You didn't like Mr. Plinkett's review?

DOSBoot

1. Lewis' Hair: Just pretty much summed up how awful this weekend was. 2. The FIA: For the tire incident. Dishonorable Mentions: Lotus: Terrible start for them after their brilliant 3rd last race. George Lucas: Worst podium interviewer ever! That was almost as bad as the prequel trilogy. McLaren: Y...

DOSBoot

1. Ericsson: Proves that he still has what it takes to be a good driver.

2. Perez: Pretty much earned this one for his solid 6th place.

Honorable Mention:

Red Bull: Both cars finished in the points after starting dead last.

DOSBoot

1. Williams: Made a lot of silly errors that cost them dearly. (Like some others, I think the tire rule is also stupid.)

2. McLaren Honda: Crap again.

For one not mentioned at all yet - Nigel Mansell in 1987. There were several races (Monaco, Germany, Hungary, Portugal) where he was easily beating Piquet when his car went wrong through no fault of his own, not to mention what he could have done if he'd taken part in the last 2 races. The previous...

DOSBoot

1. Hamilton: Scrubbed the start. Missed a chicane, and blamed Rosberg for it, collided with Riccardo, got a drive through penalty. It was pure luck that he managed to finish ahead of his teammate. 2. Maldonado: Three penalties in one race?! Dishonorable Mentions: Mercedes: First podiumless race for...

DOSBoot

1. McLaren: A double points finish! 2. Kvyat: Kept it clean, and neat to get a well deserved 2nd place. Honorable Mentions: Verstappen: Almost a podium. Just couldn't quite avoid a penalty. Riccardo: Threw away a possible 2nd with his bold move, and fender bender with Rosberg, but still a good drive.

1. Williams Strategists: They probably wouldn't have gotten the win given the outcome of the race. But they threw away a good podium result today all on the matter that they didn't want to upset Massa, even when Bottas was clearly faster at that point. 2. Verstappen: He's sure driving like a 17 yea...
