Grand Prix Rejects

For Vandoorne to hop into the woefully powered Mclaren under the pressure of filling Alonso''s shoes, out qualify Button AND score the teams first points is simply remarkable. Good on him.

Mclaren will continue to have a bad time.

I'm curious as to if Vettel can keep up the Merc killing pace as of late.

Very unfortunate result for Marcus today, a podium or even a win could really have been on the cards with better luck. I'm glad someone else believes a podium is a real possibility for the boy, although even I think it'll take something catastrophic for a win. Hell would freeze over and he'd still ...

Marcus Ericsson - That was always going to be hopeless

Get your umbrellas ready

Ralph Firman sure passed quietly, didn't he?

Perhaps a controversial choice, but I really liked the neon greenish-yellow and blue livery Minardi ran in 2000; http://i.imgur.com/lNR4F0B.jpg I thought i was the only one who liked this! Actually, i think 2000 was a great year for liveries, plenty of variation. God, I love the M02 but who am I to...

The team lives on ... Well, perhaps next year? The in house engine idea sounded cute at least What do you mean by cute here? Cute to me means good-looking, pretty, like Susie Wolff or Clare Williams... You have to wonder as to what would happen had they been able to make the Melling deal work. I'm ...

The in house engine idea sounded cute at least

World championship by 2000. Seems legit.

I don't know whether one would label it an innovation of sorts but Tyrrell's skirt with the rules in 84 in regards to weight was controversial for sure.

Still can't decide which was more pathetic: Life or Andrea Moda.

Great read

Brinson to Clockwork In a brief press conference outside Clockwork Racing headquarters in Chicago, driver Matt Brinson confirmed the rumors of a move from Jones racing. The young American signed a two year contract including a clause for "free Speed Energy", however further details were n...

I'd like a look at these pictures as well
Poor kid, hopefully he can get some help :p

Brinson: "Despite showing decent times in Qualifying and hitting on a great chassis setup, there's not much I nor my teammate can say good about the heat. We had a real rough go at things and there was quite a learning curve on my end to say the least. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time...

With the vacant seats available, I'd like to throw a driver into the mix. American Matt Brinson is looking for a possible home in the series. Jones Racing would like to sign Brinson up to the team as official reserve driver immediately, with Brinson subbing for O'Heagan who is both injured and excl...

Just saw the Fern Bay final......Dean Melville is my new hero

This is a no-brainer. Luizzi wins reject by a country mile, way to Leeroy Jenkins the field and cause the proverbial track blocking pileup on the first turn.

Sauber's Gearboxes for honorable mention.

I'm suprised that noone has mentioned David Hobbs on the site. If you look at his career, he definitely fits the reject criteria with 7 starts and no points. He was always behind his teammates and dreadfully slow in the equipment that he was in. I'd like to learn more about his foray in F1 to be hon...

I have to admit I kind of lol'd at this. Ten years ago you never heard a thing about NASCAR, and now their drivers are suing F1 teams?? Seriously?! Since Montoya demonstrated how difficult it is to cut in the NASCAR grid and win races people grew a bit of respect (Not that Montoya was a F1 great bu...

Despite Ferraris major blunder in the pits, Trololol's (Petrov's) driving and Renault's lackluster showing, reject here has to go to Chandok for his Deletraz-like showing. Who let this guy in a F1 car? I'd have taken Narain anyday over this fluke. God he was slow, he made the HRT's look like Red Bul...

Good race in general, pretty interesting there at the end between Alonso and Hammy. Where did that pace come from? Clutch driving from Lewis to take the win. I was hoping for a massive downpour in the last 10 laps just to make things interesting. Poor Massa. What a drive by him to keep Vettel at bay...

Poor Mark Martin...
