Grand Prix Rejects

I wonder if this will give us any meaningful data on how the Pirelli tyres perform in contrast to the Bridgestones. I couldn't see this mentioned yet... the Pirelli test is going to take place on a different configuration of the Abu Dhabi circuit so that lap times cannot be compared. However, I can...

"Front wing, back wing, same thing". That bit really got on my nerves. You're a commentator and you got it wrong, it happens. Brundle corrects him so the viewer doesn't get confused and Legard gets overly defensive as if Brundle is having a go at him. I wonder if Legard knows his job is f...

Session 1 results are in The bit that intrigues me in this article is .. All of the teams are using Bridgestone rubber for the two-day test prior to switching to Pirelli for the tyre test that starts on Friday. I wonder if this will give us any meaningful data on how the Pirelli tyres perform in co...

Nice work Waris for using double points only to double a negative score!

I am not Italian, but what I found using Google is the folowing: He is indeed Lega Nord - and has given his opinion about sporting events before after Italy won the football World Cup against France in 2006. The article is in Italian but from my very limited command of that language I believe that ...

F1 AWARDS Driver of the year: Robert Kubica- 'nuff said Team of the year: Renault- 'nuff said Reject of the year: Michael Schumacher - Perhaps a controversial choice but he was expected to do well this season with some touting him for the WDC. Instead he was fairly anonymous for the majority of the...

Vitaly petrov is no longer a reject with 6th in Abu dhabi. I believe this is bad news for one Carlos ferriera in the avatar competition too.

Wow Yamamoto is high on this leaderboard for such few races.

Not so much an annoying thing as a cool thing they only did once (but hopefully do again next weekend): The computer simulation of the start at Abu Dhabi where the camera did a 'fly through' of the entire grid at the first corner so you could see the battles + collisions much easier. They never did ...

So, name all of the drivers who were rejects at the time they got their first pole position (not counting Indianapolis, of course). Also name the ones who stayed as rejects even after their first pole (i.e. didn't unrejectify themselves in the same GP). Jacques Villeneuve was the first name that ca...

I hate all the random shots of pit-crew or celebrities in the paddock when you know theres action on the track. Also, it happens less now than it used to but following the leader round lap after lap when there's nobody challenging him. I have no problem with the coverage following Kobayashi around a...

Hockenheimring: 200% agree. He butchered the circuit. I find Martin Brundle's comments from this year's race interesting: from a driver's point of view, the revised layout is better because the old circuit was just a drag race to see how had the best engine. All the skill in the world wouldn't coun...

1. Hulkenberg - Again, little to note in the race so I'll give it to him based on qualifying.
2. Massa - Not necessarily a good drive but an exciting one with his constant battles with the midfield drivers.

Tealy

Yes, more of this chronological penalty bullshit. Why is this system in place? What on earth does it accomplish, besides undermining the FIA's own penalties? Honestly, their dogged persistence in continuing what is clearly the most moronic system possible for doling out penalties makes me almost as...

Tealy

Hulkenberg on pole eh... time to bring out all the lucky charms to help the Williams stay there Oh and Sutil will start 22nd not 23rd since Buemi's penalty is being applied first. Buemi was 15th though, so he'll only drop down to 20th, unless he got a 10 place penalty. I thought it was 5. It was 5 ...

Colin Kolles is sporting some nifty facial hair this weekend. http://www.hispaniaf1team.com/images/phocagallery/RD18_SaoPaulo/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_d10bra756.jpg Some late nights negotiating contracts etc for next year? I'm standing up, Hispania fans. He's possibly left home without his shaving equi...

Quick thought, when was the last time a reject was on Pole?

Congrats to the Hulk! Who saw that coming? 1.1 seconds clear of 2nd.

I love uni servers, downloaded this in less than 4 seconds! Thanks for doing this Tim, looking forward to listening to it.

Meanwhile, speaking of the championship contenders, Whitmarsh has said that Button is right to continue fighting for the title, even though he is so far back in terms of points, as much for the sake of his own motivation and psychology as for any real chance of holding onto his title. Mclaren will ...

If I'm not mistaken, 2011 British GP will have a new satrt straight, which is closer to where the Abbey Chicane used to be. Why couldn't they keep it the way it was? Stupid developmentors. The problem was to get the 17 year deal they had to agree to completely re-do the facilities. By building new ...

I think it was strange that the former Campos Racing didn't put Karun Chandhok in the car for Korea. On this site, we've been lobbying for a return of Karun for quite a while and where if not there where he had the most track knowledge of any of the drivers should he have made his return? I don't q...

I'll take the other Sauber seat and hopefully not do a De La Rosa on my return to Batracer after a while out.

If there's 107% then anyone should be allowed to take part, if theres less than 12 teams dont use 107% simple as. Also, revert back to the hour qualifying, that should free some space on the track up then, and also return to the norm in F1, fed up of this once-interesting-for-twelve-seconds knockou...

Liuzzi - Force India were pretty quick and while Sutil kept overdriving the car to try and get up the field Liuzzi kept a clear head and drove well to a great finish Schumacher - He finally awakes and shows us the talent we are used to seeing from the guy. Although I must say I do hope this race was...

I for one, am happy that Damon held up Schumi... And history will always record that Damon Hill was the first driver to win for Jordan F1!! That actually meant more in 1998 when we didnt know that the second driver to win would also be the last. Off topic but haven't 3 drivers won for Jordan? I'm t...

I just saw this pic posted with the caption "This man has got more track knowlege of Yeongam than all the F1 drivers combined". http://www.motorsport-total.com/news/images_big/69974.jpg If he comes with that vehicle then HRT should hire him, saves on development costs for the 2011 car

Tealy

I must say I'm not sure what HRT are getting out of this season. With Virgin and Lotus you can see progress but HRT have a massive battle to make the grid in 2011 and if I'm being honest I don't think they will make it. Which brings me to the OP's question, why race in 2010 when you're achieving not...

Never nice to be beaten by a copy and paste spammer (seriously, can somebody hit Viresh with the ban-hammer, as it is increasingly clear that his replies only bear a superficial relationship to the topic, and are a front for the website he is advertising in his signature).

I don't know why but I always considered Webber more impressive at Minardi in 2002 than Alonso was in 2001. I know the Australia 5th place was lucky, but he was mixing it with Jaguars/BARs/Toyotas/Arrows and the like quite regularly. Whereas I can only recall Alonso doing it once (Japan). I got the...

Remember that odd dissonance between pictures of hamburgers in fast food ads and the real thing? Uh, you do realise that the concept plan was always going to take more than two years to develop, right? It's more important that they get the circuit finished than the skyscrapers built, because you ca...

Very good article. Do you think having a "fuel cap" for each race would be a good idea as a way to promote fuel-efficiancy? Think about it, the cap could get tighter every few years forcing more development to make the engines as efficiant as possible. You could also run a KERS in the way ...
