Grand Prix Rejects

Spectoremg

1. Verstappen for whining about Vettel's driving style - seriously!?
2. Hamilton's conspiracy theories.

HM: Rosberg. The lunge king.

Spectoremg

1. Bottas - did he seriously think dicing with cars and mechanics in the pitlane was sensible?
2. Race stewards for not punishing the above.

HM: Verstappen's whining - again.

Spectoremg

1. Ricciardo - one more lap, one more lap!!!
2. Vettel - great drive.

Hm: Raikkonen - another solid drive.

Spectoremg

Come on Watka, get the nineties one up. I hadn't heard of any of them after Keane (well, except Swifty obv). Perhaps you should explore! Anyway, your wish is my command. 1999 - Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun https://e.snmc.io/lk/f/l/3b210e06f50189a16a871cfb04a37aae/2405956.jpg 1998 - Mercury Rev - Deser...

1. Rosberg. The guy kept his head.
2. Ricciardo. Head down, mouth shut, great job.

Spectoremg

Um... struggling here... so a couple of nominations that'll make no difference.
1. Race coverage. Who needs on track footage when you can broadcast every detail of pitstops.
2. The lingering shot of the empty pit lane exit during above.

Spectoremg

Um... anyone seen the ROTR/IIDOTR threads?

Spectoremg

I'll be sorry to see him go too. I'm more sorry at the way his career has petered out; there was easily another championship in him.
As for his option on 2018, does anyone seriously see a 38 year old being given a race seat?

Every time F1 visits Hockenheim, I mourn the old track and think what a shame it is that they ripped it up. And by the end of each race weekend, I remember just how good the current track is as a race track for producing good racing. That section from Turn 2 all the way into the stadium makes for b...

Spectoremg

1. Rosberg's penalty. Verstappen's reaction to the situation caused it.
2. Verstappen's spoiled brat whining. Jeez that guy could whine for his olympic team.

HM. Cos I love Williams bashing, just when they thought things were bad, Honda start getting their crap together.

Spectoremg

Jenson and Nico will find the radio U-turn very heartwarming.

Spectoremg

Have Ferrari actually said they're concentrating on next years car? (a wonderful euphemism for 'this one's sh1t'). Their superstar signing is being (just) outpointed by their journeyman Finn and is often very grumpy in the car. The improving Red Bulls are snapping at their heels in the constructor s...

Terribly sorry about voicing an opinion, I'll get permission from one of the site mandarins in future.

Spectoremg

My two penneth worth:
Anyone who found that procession remotely interesting needs to get out more.

Spectoremg

1. Palmer: for re-entering the track post-spin on the racing line on a blind crest.
2. Radio rules - the latest emotive subject.

HM: The Hungaroring. Either spend some money and make it more interesting or run out of money and allow this carbuncle to disappear from the calendar.

Spectoremg

The stewards are trained - by Mercedes.

i've always preferred Imola over Monza. Sure, the Tamburello and Villeneuve were a bad way to address the issue, but they were still neccessary and didn't detract TOO much from the circuit. Monza on the other hand... The chicanes added to it just ruin it. Seriously, adding Mickey Mouse chicanes to ...

On it goes. They forgot to mention that only small teams will be punished fully as usual.

Spectoremg

Coops/Barbazza - get a room will ya!

Spectoremg

10 points: Perez - another good effort.
6 points: Alonso, for showing Massa up as the improbable GP driver that he is.

Spectoremg

10 points: Massa the mobile roadblock, and his whingeing got Vettel a slightly unfair penalty.
6 points: Massa's team - nowhere! Our illustrious race steward must have shed a tear for how awful this team's become.

Spectoremg

So (not going off-topic but it's still some days before the race) how was di Resta as a commentator? It would help if he could speak English properly, e.g. "He's went off on the first corner". It gives the impression he is ill-educated which undermines his credibility, it gives a cheap fe...

I voted out. I don't dislike foreigners. I don't have a desire to 'pull up the drawbridge.' I consider myself British AND European. The EEC started out as an economic agreement - a far cry from what it became. We'll continue as part of a European and global economy because trade deals are being done...

Spectoremg

1. Perez, for passing Raikkonen anyway just to make sure.
2. No-one really.

Spectoremg

I won't pick Gangsta Hamilton for being a whiny tw@t so: 1. The 'win,win' nature of the DRS, it's there to help you pass a car and not subsequently disappear into the distance. 2. Radio comms/coded messages: 'Is it button A?' 'I can't say' 'Is it button B?' 'I can't say' 'Is it button C?' 'I'm not a...

Spectoremg

Really disappointed with Hamilton's performance, and to be honest, most drivers really. The amount of people running straight on at corners, clipping walls, spinning, etc is too high. It seems like everyone is pushing at 101% which is fine on a track with acres of run-off which is the norm these da...

With the exception of the live coverage of Mexico all the other races across the pond are late evening highlights. I suspect this has got more to do with screwing up C4's Sunday evening schedules than any process of selection.

Spectoremg

Do highlights broadcasters get to pick the races they show live or do they get what they're given? If it's the former I wish they'd pick Brazil/Canada/USA for live coverage - watching this weekend's Canadian highlights at 10.30pm is p1sspoor. m The races that Channel 4 pick will be shown live on Ch...

Spectoremg

Can't say I'm knocked out by it. I also thought they'll be hitting that first right hander/chicane at mighty speeds. I'd keep the old track for now just in case.

Spectoremg

1. An easy choice, Red Bull tyre changes. Screwing up a planned event is disgraceful.
2. Sauber drivers. You really need to be behaving more sensibly when your team's going under.
HM's:
Max: Monaco's a big boys race.
Nico R: You can't drive in the wet can you.

Spectoremg

Cutting to a commentary by Alain Prost just as the safety car was coming in. Very poor.

Spectoremg

1. Rosberg. That wasn't a weave, it was a lunge and was considered 'forcing someone off the track' by the stewards at the last race. 2. Hamilton. He didn't really think he was gonna pull that off did he? nb. I'm no Lewis fan-boy. HM: Ferrari. The absence of the Mercedes' flattered you but your cars ...

Spectoremg

Is this not exactly what Alonso was talking about? Ferrari can shout and predict and complain all they want, but they haven't won a championship since 2008, and they simply can't beat Mercedes. Alonso's move - while not to a competitive team - was at least a productive step to avoid the inevitable ...

That was Neal Sr

Correct, that's who I meant.

Spectoremg

Didn't he also threaten Sutton/Ash for 'messing with the wrong guy' or words to that effect?

Spectoremg

Just caught up with the highlights. So Neal tries to cross the entire field in a broken car to access the pit lane to fix the said car to end up at the back of the field and score no points - and doesn't get penalised. AND then tries to blame everyone else!!! I agree with the above sentiments; the s...

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...

Spectoremg

I've certainly never heard anyone complain about close racing/various race winners/open titles, not people who really like F1 anyway.
