Grand Prix Rejects

1. Wehrlein - At one stage he was the only car a lap down, yet still took a point!
2. Grosjean - The Haas had absolutely no pace, yet he still managed to bring it home for a strong finish.

I missed this video and now it's not available - anyone have an alternate source?

1. TV Director - Why did we not get to see Ricciardo's overtake around the outside again? I would've loved to see an external shot of that.

2. Jolyon Palmer - Finishing behind your teammate, who started from pitlane, is utterly rejectful.

Hamilton will not start the race in his Q2 tyre set. Instead, Pirelli are giving him a set with the same mileage. I believe he damaged that set in his Q3 accident - there's dispensation in the rules for this, so it's not exactly unfair. I did read somewhere that nearly every set of his tyres had a ...

Well, perhaps next time Hamilton is regretting not doing that track walk now...

Oh and Danny Ric, you're a freak. Stop making us all feel inferior!

I'm seriously looking forward to this race, but I have a bad feeling about it.

Rosberg should have crashed hamilton in the first turn,. I don't like F1 drivers being so aggressive these days, like verstappen defense vs Rosberg too. And I don't like Rosberg, in the past, he did the same to others drivers but these banzai defense have to stop You don't like drivers being aggres...

Ironically, I believe most F1 teams now set up a beep in the earpiece of the driver for when to upshift, so even they don't listen to the engines.

When you follow an ambulance down the road, as if you're following the car that just lapped you and overtaking all the other lapped cars.

The new layout reminds me of the old Monza, personally.

Actually, it says a lot when both Renault drivers could have had such terrible races - with Magnussen earning himself a penalty for the Canadian GP for his behaviour - and yet still be overlooked. I think you're thinking of the Kvyat incident? Daniil got the penalty, not K-Mag. Unless I missed some...

. 2. Nico Rosberg - Was he even driving that Mercedes? He looked like a scared rookie out there. That would be because he had little in the way of brakes. You know, those superflous things, even more so in the rain. Oh really? Australia's version of C4's broadcast completely failed to mention that....

AustralianStig

1. Red Bull - Obviously.
2. Everyone who crashed at Rascasse - Give them a point each, or something.

Meanwhile, Alonso is worried about being caught with his hand down his pants.

Can you imagine the run into the first braking zone on lap 1? That's going to be an impressive spectacle...if we ever see it.

Just throwing out an idea here, so be prepared to shoot it down if necessary: What do people think of the possibility of doing obituaries for recently deceased rejects? I think it would be a nice thing to do and there are very few rejects whose deaths would likely be reported by major motorsport pu...

Oh no, Brundle will turn it into this incredible act of humility in taking the fall for his teammate. No doubt Jesus comparisons will ensue.

In fact, given that Bernie has dreamt for years about cracking the US market, I wouldn't be surprised if he is privately encouraging Haas to do this given that it would potentially expose F1 to a much larger audience in the US. Non-championship exhibition F1 race at Watkins Glen - you heard it here...

Here's a question: If there is a driver switch after teams choose which tires they would use for the next race, does the new driver get to choose a different tire roster or do they have to stick what the previous driver picked? Autosport are reporting that both Kvyat and Verstappen have to use the ...

Pure and simple, this is to stop Ferrari from getting their mitts on Max. I read somewhere (can't remember where, but it was from a decent journo) that Ferrari had been making pretty big overtures towards him on Saturday and Jos was seen having a rather long discussion with Helmut Marko on the Sunda...

Red Bull could swap Kvyat with Verstappen! m While it would still be a very harsh move if Red Bull did do this, Daniil's had a very poor start to the season season, aside from his race at China. This is truly going to test his psychological fortitude, and to be honest, I don't think he's going to d...

Okay, I've decided what I am going to do with this. 2016 will officially be cancelled and be taken out of the history books and A1 Grand Prix will be started over for the 2017 season with just the top series. I'll be capping the amount of nations competing at 50 or 60 and a pre-qualifying system wi...

I'm practically annoyed with qualifying at this present time it seems like their isn't any point watching these days, It's easy to predict that a Mercedes driver will get pole, unless one of the Mercedes drivers have a fault or hiccup it seems really unlikely that another driver of another team wil...

Hello . Is it me you're looking for ? It sure is, I emailed you but haven't had a response yet. I've just double-checked my emails, and seem to have no record of it. I'll just try emailing the link to you direct anyway. And now I haven't received it...perhaps the emailing function is broken on here...

These are great. I don't know why I resisted listening to them when I first joined this forum! Just curious when did you start these podcasts? Is there any way to listen to historic ones?

Very sorry to hear that Samster. If I had more time I'd volunteer to help you run it... Perhaps if you ever wanted to go back to it you could just run A1? Perhaps its just how would I decide which nations make it into the series? Continue with A1 in its current format. Put all the A2 teams into a p...

Daniel Ricciardo has now finished 4th in the first 3 races, which seems rather unusual, however Mark Webber managed to go one better and finished 4th in the first 4 races of 2012!

Webber also managed to go on to take...you guessed it! 4 podiums that season.

AustralianStig

No one really stood out for me, so I'm going to give 10 points to the one thing that meant we didn't get a decent race for the lead:

1. Ricciardo's puncture

AustralianStig

Has Ricciardo ever started on the front row before? I can't think of him starting any higher than 3rd...

EDIT: Never mind, I just remembered he took 2nd in Australia 2014...and I was actually AT the race

I have the feeling Williams will mess with the strategies again despite having and interesting set of tyres. Well, what's new? I feel that they cannot mess it forever. On pure odds only. Someday they will nail it! So why not China? If they do it now, maybe they can get it right again in Silverstone...

If only I was a millionaire I would give that team a facelift but keep the team under the "Sauber" name. Would you guys do the same or would you not bother and save your money? Quite frankly after seeing what Gene Haas has managed, I'd prefer to build my own team rather than take over an ...
