Grand Prix Rejects

What a shame for Piquet, he was on his way to a brilliant win, but spun trying to avoid a lapped car. At least this season looks promising for him and his team mate Turvey.

EuroBrun

It annoyed me a bit to hear Vettel and Verstappen frequently complaining on the radio that drivers about to be lapped were not moving out of the way. I can understand the frustration, but Renaults, McLs and Toro Rossos were fighting for position themselves, they could not disappear. Hamilton was in ...

Aside from Rosberg, one of the two RBRs guys will be the next. It is too easy to predict Newey will design another winning car based on his ability to read between the lines of the aero regulation, and both Ricciardo and Verstappen have very long term contracts with the team. Between the two I hope ...

When he gives interviews to the Italian tv he is always joking, being genuine and natural, especially when he is correcting the interviewer on her Italian language.

Anyone fan of the TCR series? I like the idea of low-cost series, where cars competing in local championship may also take part into the international series (you do not see this anymore in touring car competitions). Various models of cars have been developed to match the regulations and many of the...

21 years ago, on October 6th 1985, the European GP took place in Brands Hatch. A part from Ivan Capelli's first race and Nigel Mansell's first win, my attention was grabbed by John Watson. The Northern Irish stood in for Niki Lauda in McLaren and drove in what will be his last F1 start with Niki's n...

Great fun this year with both series.

F1 should really provide winning driver a seat in next year, sad to see how many champions never have had a possibility to stand out in the main series.

EuroBrun

Ham is now "mad" and therefore I see him as a dominant winner for this GP, especially considering that Nico may sooner or later face some engine problem himself and that he may also settle for second places from now on. Wheater will also play a key role in the GP altering the regular perfo...

1. Jolyon Palmer I was not expecting anything from Renault this race, instead he picked up the best results of his F1 career.

2. McLaren Both car the top10 is a good achievement for the Woking's team.

EuroBrun

1. Lewis Hamilton His power unit paranoia (as defined by ESPN F1) is not fair to the team and their efforts.

2. Max Verstappen Complaining about Vettel's aggressive driving is kind of a funny thing for someone who was involved in several contacts this year (Seb did a very poor mistake though).

EuroBrun

Looks like top-level football is collapsing under its own gravity. I've always admired Spanish and English Leagues and Federations, but they are not problem free as appear from the recent events.

EuroBrun

Personally I'm looking forward to watch the race (although I need to wait until 14:00 CET to do so, since there will be no live broadcast ): Mercedes are miles ahead as always, but behind them Ferraris and RBs are be close tyre choice might differs quite a lot. Behind the frontrunners the curiosity ...

"I formally presented my resignation as La Liga president"

From the outside, he didn't seem so bad.

EuroBrun

1. Daniil Kvyat: the best race since he returned to Toro Rosso. I was really happy to see him giving hard time to Verstappen.

2. Sebastian Vettel: 5th after starting 22nd is a major achievement in Marina Bay. His regret for what the race could have been must be huge.

EuroBrun

1. Williams: as often happens in slow-corners circuits the Martini cars dropped on the edge of top-10, sometimes even outside. Singapore is no exception.

2. Haas: Well, everything has already been said: they are still new to this circus, but the last weekend was a nightmare for Grosjean.

EuroBrun

1. Alonso: fastest laps does not have a big meaning nowadays, but his achievement was totally unexpected and deserves a big prize!

2 Rosberg: after LH's poor start his win looked more than probable, and he drove a flawless race.

EuroBrun

1. Gutierrez : i feel sorry for him, great qualifying but poor start prevent him for grabbing his first points of the year. 2. Manor : the circuit suited their car, but 2 mechanical failure between saturday and sunday is not what they need. On a side note, I see that many of you noted that unconvent...

The top-10 finishers in today's Italian GP are also the current top 10 in the World Drivers' Championship standings.

EuroBrun

Sad to hear that, but the time has come: it is even sadder to see him and Alonso fighting to enter the top-10.

Talking about Williams, Motorsport claims Lance Stroll now is the favorite for racing seat after Button choosing to stay at McLaren. Not only this, but he could move to Force India as well, replacing Perez if the Mexican moves to another team. When I heard of Massa I immediately thought of Stroll, ...

Definitely not a funny race to watch, luckily Hamilton had a bad start so we saw him pushing hard to pass the cars that had overtaken him in the first corner. Ferrari did the best with what they have now, maybe they could have differentiated the strategies for their cars, but the results would not h...

Probably - considering there have been only three Estebans (Tuero, Gutierrez, Ocon).

"And out of the Rascasse comes Ernesto Tuero" ... so Ocon and Gutierrez might be the first Estebans we have in F1.
