Grand Prix Rejects

The F1 talent pool has been shrinking since GP2 started. Look at the drivers in GP2 and some in F1 today. I've said enough. Are you kidding me? Since we've had GP2, we've had some top, top drivers coming into F1. Kubica and Vettel came into F1 from FR3.5, and from GP2 we've had Hamilton, Rosberg, G...

Option A.

In fact, I change my mind. I don't care what the cars sound like. As long as there is great racing, I don't care anymore. The vast majority of the Formula One community do. A massive part of the appeal of the Formula One spectacle is the distinctive and highly visceral exhaust note of a Formula One...

Audi wins again. Aston threw away their class victory to Porsche. Toyota racks up a third second place.

Hooray. I'm going to bed.

50 minutes remaining...I don't even know what's going on anymore.

I'm absolutely exhausted.

No. 99 Aston Martin GTE Pro crashes at Tertre Rouge, in eerily similar circumstances to Simonsen's fatal accident earlier in the race. Front end of the car obliterated, showering the track in debris.

Fortunately, Makowiecki, the driver, escaped with little to no injuries.

14 hours in. The weariness is starting to set in.

Allan Simonsen, the Aston GTE driver, has died following his accident at Tertre Rouge.

I don't know where I should put this but what the bathplug just I found out? http://blog.selectautoimports.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bmw-sketch-4219-eli.jpg 42 wheels, multiple engines, and it's officially designed by BMW itself! Looks more ambitious than... http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l...

Is it just me, or does the new engine sound remind me of GT5?

Heavy rain. At Monaco. Could this be Brundle's breakthrough performance?

Since we've tested there before, I'm going to suggest a return to Paul Ricard. The data we previously collected at this track should help us in gaining a clearer understanding of the impact of the new upgrades.

Huzzah! First classified finish for Empire!

Stocking up on frozen pizza and cans of Dr. Pepper.

24 hours. I'm ready to go.

Best wishes to Murray Walker. A veritable legend of Formula One.

Vote for Design 3.

So Whitmarsh assaulted Horner, and now Marko attacks Webber?

I guess New Jersey really does bring out the worst in people.

@Wallio Well, I didn't know that the academic standards on this forum were so rigorous. Personally, I use Wikipedia to gain a general understanding of an issue, then qualify my understanding through other textual and online sources, and use the latter sources as references for my academic papers. Ei...

Well, what else did you expect? A pigeon defecating on the wrong side of Jerusalem could incite a political uproar, let alone a Formula One showcase event, involving thousands of people, millions of dollars, and the massive amount of international media attention surrounding such an event. Keep in ...

Well, this doesn't bode well for Monza.

What a tragic couple of days in motorsport. First, we had the untimely death of a Canadian marshal on Sunday. And now this.

My deepest condolences to Mr. Leffler's family.

We finished 6th? Well, I'll be damned...

1) So? 2) In your opinion. In every media interview Ive seen, to me at least, he comes across as as grounded and humble as you can really expect a triple world champion to be. 3)If he did frequent forums, if he did get this 'reality check' he apparently needs, if he did understand what certain peop...

Wow...

My condolences to his family.

I know that I'm not in any position to judge others, having posted unwarranted judgments of drivers and teams myself, but every incident has a mitigating circumstance. In the case of VDG, he's a rookie driver, and as such, he's going to make rookie mistakes. Attempting to make the apex after giving...

I really need to stop coming here on race days. Sometimes, many of the reactions by some of our members makes me a little angry; all the drivers deserve at least some respect. I feel this place is getting worse in its content, as people just seem to slate drivers baselessly. If somebody's had a bad...

1. Paul di Resta. I still can't get over how he managed 57 laps on a single stint.
2. Jean-Eric Vergne. Solid drive to net 6th.

Although it pains me to type this, I must nominate McLaren for the Reject of the Race this weekend. The pace they demonstrated, with a third of the season gone, is simply woeful . Dishonorable mentions go to Sauber, Giedo Van der Garde, and the booing fans. Seb, if you're reading this, I apologize o...

I was pretty disappointed in the home fans when they booed Vettel on the podium. Slightly ashamed for my fellow Canadian fans who decided to forego all etiquette and decorum for what was really just sheer pettiness. I actually found the race to be fairly entertaining. Yes, Vettel romped away to vict...

Ratings-Race 7, Canada Sebastian Vettel: 10 Mark Webber: 9 Red Bull: 10 Any doubt regarding both the efficacy of Newey's design and Vettel's ability was swept away by the sheer dominance of Red Bull's performance this race. In spite of a few unsettling encounters with the close walls of the track, S...

Bottas' form is genuinely impressive right now. He's been genuinely impressive the entire season. No errors, no crashes, consistently putting Maldonado in the shade. But yes, this is well deserved. Of course, but ultimately, it's the conspicuous performances that count in the end. Really pleased fo...

Track doesn't seem to be improving; Bottas may actually end up third place on the grid!

EDIT: BOTTAS THIRD ON THE GRID!

Bottas' form is genuinely impressive right now.

I nearly destroyed my glasses when I saw Button failing to make the line in time.

I'm going to nominate that Empire forego the ROC and test at Paul Ricard.

Force India aren't silver. White is pretty close, but I get what you mean. Its just that Williams-Mercedes currently feels so alien. Enough said. Not really. Sure, Williams is best associated with Renault, but they've also had Ford, Honda, Judd, BMW, Toyota, and Cosworth engines power their car. It...
