Grand Prix Rejects

I've got the press officer at Caterham F1's business card on my desk at work.

I also have a Ferrari business card but it's for a bloke in charge of the road car divison rather than F1.

I got a few pictures. The tour itself was only half an hour, but I did get in free http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7295/8751464522_144ec4be00.jpg Main entrance in Leafield http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3743/8750343885_f61db27da3.jpg The 2011 car http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2890/8750345689_56ecc92f3b...

I'm getting a tour round the Caterham factory tomorrow afternoon (it's all part of being a journalist ).

Hopefully I'll get some good pics and I'll put a few up.

Just thought I'd post this seeing as I'm now the Formula 1 correspondent for the Oxfordshire Guardian (my name's not on it so you'll just have to trust me)

What is Deletraz doing???

I was very impressed with Daniel Abt in the GP3 races at Spa and Monza last year. He pulled off some stunning overtakes, and got a couple of wins. That said these were the only GP3 races I saw in 2012 and looking at his other results it was much more of a mixed bag. But hey ho, I judge from what I s...

Luca was getting a bit big-headed in his new job.

Hearing that Jaime Alguersuari is going to be confirmed as a Force India driver sometime soon.

Could lead to Hulkenberg replacing Massa, and Massa replacing Perez?

Ok ill explain

I plan to go to the Belgian and italian GPs by road and drive some alpine passes.... so long as they are back to back i can do this in 2014....

I'm doing that next week (apart from the alpine passes)

So would Alex Yoong!

As Webber's signed for Red Bull for 2013 and definitely won't be going to Ferrari, do you think Massa might get lucky and have another season? If such rumours are true about Vettel signing for them in 2014, Ferrari just need someone to fill the gap until then. No top driver will go there just for on...

I went today, traffic was queued up for miles because of flooding. Paths were drenched, my clothes are ruined, and the only action for most of the practice sessions was a mexican wave. Still good fun though. Shame I'm not going for the rest of it, but meh. My car was already threatening to die sat i...

Kimi's strategy for me, that really was a horrendous lap or two. Special mention for Eddie Jordan trying to blame Raikkonen rather than the tyres.

I was particularly happy to see Massa in the lead for 3/4s of a lap!

Fun fact I read on Pitpass earlier - there has been no official safety car period at the Malaysian GP for 10 years. In 2009 it came out on lap 32, but race was red flagged on lap 33 so results went back two laps, so in theory it never existed. I found that very interesting (shows how exciting I am a...

Ferrari Sauber Mercedes Toro Rosso Williams Red Bull Marussia Lotus Force India HRT Caterham McLaren I'm not even sure about 4th-10th. Top three and bottom two for definite though. I only don't like McLaren because when I started watching F1 in the late 90s they would always beat Ferrari and for tha...

Sad to say this as I am a Massa fan but I think it is time to move on to another team. Force India or Sauber perhaps? Give him a few more races, but possibly swap Massa for Perez? Massa might be happier at his old team, he might be more inspired to beat Kobayashi rather than Alonso. Perez wouldn't ...

A friend of mine had this game, and I can't remember what circuit it was but we stopped in the middle of the track, stopping the entire grid in a chain behind us. Then we zoomed off and managed to complete a lap before everyone else had got going, and lapped a few of them We were only young (about 9...

There were two F1 season reviews from 1998 and 1999 that I can't remember the exact name of (probably something hugely exciting like 'Formula 1 1998/1999'). Pretty standard books, but at the back they both had written a mock review of what would happen the following year. It was basically a giant pi...

One of the Ayrton Senna years for me. I won't tell you which one, got to keep some mystery in our lives.

I went to the Super Aguri auction in 2008 after they shut down and got to look round their factory and all their stuff. Some Germans ended up buying everything so all I got was some stolen Super Aguri-headed A4 paper. I have kept the sheets in mint condition to this very day I also got Alex Yoong's ...

Could there have ever been a LOL?

That would make me LOL.

I think F1 Adam reckons one crap sarcastic joke has caused a lot more hassle than it was worth

There's a picture to start you off. If only there was some way of finding out what year this was taken...

Playing F1 2011 a couple of nights ago, I got my Sauber from 11th on the grid to the lead at Silverstone after about 6 laps, and was happily leading until the pitstops. Dropped to about 5th or so with people who hadn't stopped ahead of me. No panic, I thought, they'll be out the way soon enough. The...

I'll get you back on topic by introducing myself. Hi. About time I wrote something considering a signed up a while ago. I'm Adam, from Oxfordshire, I have met Alex Yoong, and I once stole some Super Aguri headed paper when I went to their auction after they went bust. Some Germans bought everything ...
