Grand Prix Rejects

BBC sound technicians for fixing the sound problems - the race was so much better with the radio commentary. Seconded. After it changed back I had a quick look to see if you could switch the commentary via the red button (I believe you normally can but thanks to the commonwealth games it wasn't the...

WIthout any proof that it was a mechanical failure I have to go for Lucas Di Grassi right now. Failing that it perhaps goes to Alguersuari for ruining a rare points finish for himself by playing dodgems with Kobayashi when the guy was already through.

1. Kobayashi - Great turnaround after his poor drive in Singapore. Very much like one of the Mercades drivers in China (I think it was Rosberg) in that he kept making all of his overtakes at a corner nobody else even thought to try and overtake at. 2. Heidfeld - Drove like the Heidfeld of old. Rarel...

Just for fun, can I be involved in this even though I haven't predicted anything this whole year? Or do I have to sign up by the first race of the year to participate? Yes, absolutely.

I must be honest I've absolutely loved F1 2010 so far. I'm a decent player of racing games but I'm not brilliant and on expert difficulty with traction control on I seem to be competitive in the Virgin without being ridiculous (Me and Di Grassi have 3 finishes each above the other so far). My best f...

And, since it is likely to be the most interesting that that'll happen this weekend, I think that I will use my double points multiplier this round. I just hope that it doesn't backfire on me...

The best part of Singapore in my opinion is the run from turn 5 through 6 and into the incredibly bumpy 7. This has me worried that the corners will no longer be as fun to watch.

I'm screwed when Mario uses his double points

Renault's old trick of picking number 1 and number 2 is back. Typical. Actually, where the heck was Petrov all weekend? I can't remember even seeing the fellow. He was sitting in 10th most of the race but fell back to 13th somewhere near the end for reasons unknown to me. Perhaps he had a pit strat...

Damn you DR Baker

Once a season you can decide to use your double points. This will mean that the points you earn at that race will be doubled. You only have one to use for the season however (I used mine at Barcelona).

Do we really want a "Tribute" track. I looked at the layout before I read the article and immediately noticed the similarities to other circuits which is a little disappointing. Surely a track should have its own identity?

I think it's sad that we're considering a few 4ths and 5ths from Williams as sign that they've reversed their decline. If I remember correctly, that was their performance last season as well and a few seasons prior they were occasional podium contenders on pace. Have to agree with you there. Willia...

But Lauda he ain't. Three years gone, third race of the season and a Win. Thats a better comparison although Id argue the 83 and 84 McLaren were in a different league to the 2010 Mercedes. My argument that MSC is having a bad comeback is that he is nowhere near Nico Rosberg. I'll agree that some of...

As to ROTR, it seems that Mercedes is coming out in the lead for a different reason - it appears that their performance is beginning to try the patience of the Diamler board, who are concerned about the lack of success. More importantly, they are worried that if the Mercedes GP team fails to score ...

Woo! Top by a point! No way I'll keep a hold of that this summer though, I miss the next 3 races due to various trips etc. Hopefully I'll be able to pluck some names out of thin air for my predictions that keep me near the top.

A overtake caused by the fact that he had to avoid a crash. Alonso could've braked on the inside, but there is no guarantee that he wouldn't have hit Kubica that way. As a racer, if I'm pushed of the track, and earns a spot of that, I wouldn't given it back by myself, it's not my problem that he pu...

Proof that Alonso is Reject of the Race: m According to Charlie Whiting, Ferrari and Alonso were told that they should yield to Kubica three times , the first of which happened as soon as he gained the place. Ferrari clearly decided to ignore each warning. Well thats changed my mind on the matter! ...

I would say Timo Glock but it's not really that noticeable now that he is in the Virgin.

My vote is Red Bull Management for their lack of control over their drivers emotionally over the weekend. The whole thing was a joke.

I would have voted Ferrari or Alonso but I really think Alonso has been hard done by today and it would be harsh to blame him for it all.

Any bets on Glock walking out of Virgin after the race? He's only finished one Grand Prix this season, down in 19th or something, right? If he does I wonder who would slot into the Virgin in Germany? I dunno why, but you get the feeling JV would - given half the chance. Well, he just seems the sort...

I don't know if this is nonsense, but one thing that strikes me as potentially silly is the talk of "overtaking spot". Obvious overtaking spots mean obvious defending spots. It's probably interesting to have an obvious zone, where a much faster car can pass a much slower one - but isn't i...

I think another argument in favour of the newer points systems is that sponsors can be quite fickle. If your car finished 7th every race in the old system you would have no points but with the current system that would get you a decent haul. Sponsors don't like to be associated with failing teams an...

This can only be good news really. It gives GP2 drivers experience with (some of) the tyres while removing an entire tyre design/manufacture process on Pirelli's side.
