Grand Prix Rejects

In the world of F1, the 90's saw the emergence of legends such as Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen, who are expected to duke it out for their third WDC in the new millennium, but also great progress in safety following the deaths of Senna and Ratzenberger. 2000 marks a rise in manufacturer teams...

So while the series I'm participating in (or I want to be in) appear to be on hiatus, over the past weeks I've been setting up a management game for F1 and F2 2000. Formula Manager 2000, I call it. In addition to running your F1 teams, you can run junior teams in F2 (what F3000 is called now in the ...

Merc strategists - "In hindsight, maybe not the right tire choice" said Toto Wolff.
2022 Mexico City Grand Prix - Not that exciting honestly

Albon for that P12
The mariachi band

Fondmetal and Jaguar-badged engines have raced in F1, as well as constructor. However, the constructors Fondmetal and Jaguar never used Fondmetal or Jaguar-badged engines.

Seb, with an amazing performance that can convince a new fan that he was a 4-time champion,
Alonso with that epic recovery drive.

1. Aston Martin pit crew and Lance Stroll - pit crew screwup made Seb plummet down the order during a good weekend for them, and Stroll's serious crash robbed them of crucial double points for the fight against Alfa for 6th. 2. Bottas - Spun out of the race during a crucial weekend for Alfa, especia...

There won't be any Piquet Corner temporarily for next year: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/singapore-track-changes-to-drop-f1-lap-time-by-more-than-20-seconds/10386294/ At least it's not for permanent. And the notorious asset-recyclers known as Codemasters will keep the classic Singapore in F1 2...

They're on the reject team list, so yes, Behra-Porsche-Porsche does count.
(The most rejectful thing about them is their constructor name. Even worse than BMW Sauber-Ferrari!)

This is true!

And it doesn't stop at Red Bull, although that belongs in the Unusual F1 stats thread.

Jos Verstappen drove for Stewart in 1998, which became Red Bull, who his son drives for. Jos also drove for Minardi in 2003, which became Toro Rosso, which Max drove for. Now all we need is Max at Enstone and Mercedes... and also for Arrows and Simtek to return to F1 for Max to fully follow his fath...

From more recent times, Sergey Sirotkin. For a pay driver who debuted in the late 2010s, he oddly hasn't faced the backlash that other recent pay drivers have like Stroll, Latifi, and Mazepin, even though the aforementioned Canadian pay drivers have scored better results than him. As for Felipe Nas...

Top Gunner is in and will replace Michael Masi on the grid from round 3 onwards. I put the entry under USA flag for now.

Forgot about nationalities, but yes, "Top Gunner" is indeed racing under the American flag as I intended.

May I take Fondmetal Larrousse? If not, can I join the waiting list? Edit: If I do take control of Fondmetal I will send both Marco Apicella and Geoff Brabham to the Indoor Trophy, essentially taking the place of Williams. The Indoor Trophy will serve as an evaluation for if I keep them next year an...

1. FIA - The last time these bathpluggers put a big heavy vehicle on the track…
2. Haas - Horrible day for K-Mag and Mick who stayed out way too long, and lost a points opportunity in the process.

Just has to be Latifi. HM to Ocon though after a rough weekend at Singapore.

Things were going well for Bertram until he conveniently ended up in the middle of a pile-up. :facepalm: On the bright side, he has a few races left to join Unrejectfest. A new challenger would like to join Rejectfest! To promote their unbelievably rejectful films (some of which make the Racing Poin...

What if the Nurburgring was destroyed during WW2?

I’ll take Pacific and Super A- ARTA.
Edit: ARTA got taken before my post could get approved so Nakajima please.

My Livery Reject of The Year 2000- 2000: BAR - Silver bits weren't contrasting enough with the white to stand out 2001: BAR - Second case of bland white livery 2002: BAR - Triple champions, and that isn't even counting the 1999 zipper car! 2003: Toyota - BAR managed to get their act together with so...

Swiss driver Bertram Anzungolst would like to join the Rejectfest Racing Series. And does it matter where or if you finish in order to get the FL point as long as you set the fastest time?

Hi! I'm GT_Forti1, and you may or may not know me from other forums or YouTube comment sections as GT-341. I love reading what-ifs/alternate histories about things I'm into, such as F1, and I've been lurking around for some time, following some series in the 18M Debut forum. (And I read the writeups...
