I actually like what's going on with the sidepods... they need more of that orange for it to work, though. The new number font is so bad I nominated it for ROTR for Spain...

At least it doesn't look like the Force India...

Cynon

Even though I didn't even watch the race I have a candidate that might be acceptable.

McLaren's New Font for Car Numbers -- Fugly.

Renault : Someone on another forum described their engines as potatoes. Pretty sure that's accurate. Toro Rosso : Double retirement. Nico Rosberg : Lewis Hamilton confirmed WDC unless he gets taken out for like 5 races straight... maybe. My Interest Level : Honestly the only thing that's making me ...

Cynon

Red Bull : Perfect combination of whining in the press, crap driving, crap engines, and crap cars. Jenson Button : The guy in front of you is not the brake pedal!! Nico Rosberg : Championship hopes gone unless Hamilton is out of F1 for whatever reason (including injury). Track Marshals : Too much w...

Cynon

Half of the cars looked like they were on rails... I'd like to see what F1 would be like with flat-bottom cars and only two wing planes allowed.

Cynon

1. Vettel
2. Verstappen

The cream of the crop rose to the occasion......

Marcus Ericsson: What the hell was that?
Sebastian Vettel Haters: Haters gonna hate.

Sauber -- Overly eventful weekend off the track. Grid Size -- F1 absolutely needs to fix the grid size. This was almost as much of a joke as the 05 USGP, only nowhere near as fascinating. I'm waiting for F1's grid to dwindle further, because at this rate, it seems inevitable. "Pinnacle of moto...

With regards to Alonso, I'm glad they're taking every care with his injury. Given the atrocious approach to concussion in my other sporting love, rugby, it's good to see a sport not taking any unnecessary risks. Already one driver too many with a brain injury, no point risking a second concussion t...

Cynon

Good job guys. I do miss the black and gray theme, but it'll definitely be easier to use when I'm on my phone.

Cynon

The car counts will need to dwindle to the single digits for F1 teams to act at this rate... -_-

Or maybe the 2015 car is behind schedule/will only be ready in time for the first test?

Or they want a double-dosage of publicity.

Cynon

It's a stupid system. It takes all the fun out of the backmarkers potentially hiring someone completely incapable, like Ide or Deletraz.

IIRC Paul di Resta did fine in F1, but he wouldn't be eligible...

Cynon

I like the first sentence: Max Verstappen is convinced he has enough experience to make a successful jump to Formula 1 with the Toro Rosso team next season. As if they don't believe him and they feel about it. So this seems like a good time to bring this up: does anyone here have an idea of how mat...

The most care we will see out of Raikkonen for the rest of his F1 career.

Cynon

Imagine if Keith actually has an account on F1Rejects, is a regular poster, and has been deliberately trolling us with all of his opinion pieces? I'm standing up If I was him, I'd egg people on to hate my articles so that every time a new one goes up, mass amounts of "rage" occurs -- unti...

That is one of the craziest and saddest things there is, sure, I begrudge them dominating the sport, but not to the point that you nick the trophies. The photo on BBC article makes it clear this was the target, the article asks why anyone would take them? Easy. They are going to be high value on th...

2015 could be just as boring as 2014, too.

Welp, that just about guarantees we won't see Manor/Marussia on the grid next year :/

It is also better looking than probably all of the cars that we'll actually see next year.

Honda with the nicest engine sound of them all....

Cynon

I wonder if they'd be accepting of using irrational constants as racing numbers, such as e and pi ? I'm personally looking forward to the day someone uses an imaginary number . Make them write the driver numbers in binary. Or in hexadecimal. I for one am looking for Alonso in the #D car to avoid th...

0 isnt a number Let's ask any NASCAR driver that's run with #0 if it's belittling... Far more rejectful, if you ask me, is the NASCAR system that allows both "x" and "0x" as separate numbers (including 0 and 00). ...or the Reutimann family, who have raced in Florida with #00 for...

Lucky Bastard : Sauber Got beaten by Marussia, had a weaker driver lineup than most GP3 teams, so much so that their drivers couldn't even get one 10th place. They were getting podiums two years ago, and while they don't have the money to compete with the big dogs, getting at least one point should...

Jenson Button -- Great way to end a F1 career. :\

Struggling to think of another one. This race was too predictable for a second nomination.

2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix -- Shut it off after 22 laps because the result was too predictable and the engine noises weren't keeping me awake. So I played a round of League of Legends to remedy that. Sauber -- Crap. Red Bull -- Kek. Ferrari -- All the 90s F1 fans can rejoice that Ferrari is back to ...

Cynon

Looks like Mercedes got what they wanted.

Cynon

Given that Ferrari is known to have a veto on any technical regulations the FIA want to introduce, I would not at all be surprised if Mallya's nailed it on the head that some certain silver and teal cars, and some certain red cars are cheating.

Ask not what the sport can do for the fans, but ask what the fans can do for the big corporate sponsors.

Related, but didn't Bernie try and create a spectator-less Grand Prix some time ago? As in, only VIP guests?

Cynon

That's the kind of shite you say if you're intentionally trying to kill the sport!

Cynon

Unpopular opinion (at least on this forum): the 1975-style cars looked amazingly badass. Yeah sure, they're no beauties, but they really had something. Agreed. They're interesting in a slightly mad way. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZdzaY9tlSFU/S78cnYmIE9I/AAAAAAAAAA4/Vqpu_h3Hp9M/s1600/312+1975.jpg Tho...

I need to read this on Autosport or Motorsport in order to truly believe Alice Powell possibly being in the car for Abu Dhabi. Update: Racing or First Practice? I'm a bit confused. m At first, I was confused and was asking myself how on earth she would qualify for a Superlicence, so I guess from re...

Pretty much this. I think F1 needs to become GP1 (GP2 cars with a bit more power) in order to survive.

Ataxia wrote:I vote for Nelson Piquet. If anyone wants to sound as creepy or lecherous as possible when hosting the podium interviews, watch yesterday's offering.

I share that sentiment, since I honestly didn't watch the race, but watched that podium interview after hearing that Piquet was a creeper.

Okay, so I can no longer access ANY Mibbit chatroom from my PC (other PCs work fine). Can someone help me try to fix this, please? Try logging into an IRC room from a different provider. Also, have you tried using Pidgin to connect to Mibbit? Well, I've tried connecting using Mozilla Firefox, to no...
