Though strangely, HWNSNBM's wikipedia page still has the F1 Rejects section in it!

My Provisional ROTY Podium: 1st) Renault (because it effectively covers Nelson Piquet Jr. being sh*t, Flav's constant whining and Vettel's constant engine failures) 2nd) Donnington Park (for turning out to be a typical British construction project - very late. British GP in the Millenium Stadium Ca...

I would go for 15-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1, award 1pt for Pole, and 1pt for Fastest Lap (which only counts if you complete 90% race distance) and 1pt for every car you pass on track.

Yeah, nice try spammers, but Renault management won't be reading this...go spam someone who cares! On a more serious note, isnt it about time we introduced a new rule? First 3 posts by new users have to be approved by moderators before being accepted? Good thought, but J and E didn't make this boar...

JV is a strong possibility, and Ralf will be a free agent after Norbert Haug kicks his ass out of AMG at the end of this season for being crap.
I think Nick is staying put...so Trulli, JV and Ralf are 3 strong contenders under that criteria.
Or, how about Luca Badoer?

TEAM NAME: XYZ-VW Engine Manufacturer: VW Diesel (they finally enter F1, but it has to be eco-friendly, and runs off used chip fat as a result) Team Principal: That crazy bloke who used to run Onyx Head Designer: None. Rejected designs from other teams simply stolen from trash cans outside their HQ...

My predictions: Brawn-Mercedes 1. Jenson Button 2. Nico Rosberg T. Ant Davidson Both Button and Rosberg get re-acquainted with trundling around the midfield all year with a sub-par car. Mercedes sells out at the end of the year after the team had a Honda-esque year. And mechanics get fed up, because...

Team Principal Tony Fernandes sounds like he was forced into the position...he has already said he wants to quit! Maybe he knows the team is doomed?
Oh, and Lotus are announcing their drivers at the end of next month.

Roberto Moreno pays you 20 Euro to buy him, he is that desperate.

"Oh sh*t, Andrea Sassetti is the new Team Principal. LEG IT!"

Crap. Forgot a team!

Manor - Staying!

My Predictions Brawn GP - Staying Red Bull - Staying Ferrari - Staying McLaren - Staying Williams - Staying Toyota - Gone after 2010 Renault - Gone by end of 2009 Force India - Staying Scuderia Toro Rosso - New owner buys out team for 2011 season. Campos - Gone after 2010 USF1 - Gone after 2011 Lot...

My nomination is BMW Sauber, because I am pretty sure the new "buyers" are a scam. Its going to be Andrea Moda all over again IMO. Team owner(s) get done for Fraud, team gets shut down.

Alain Prost to make another comeback?

Maybe he could give Tomas Enge another shot at escaping Rejectdom!

So that's why his name was in my head...I just remembered he was an F1 driver, but not when he was from/who he drove for.

And I'm not old enough to have seen Martini leading for Minardi. I always thought it was Eddie Cheever at the Phoenix GP that lead for Minardi...

Here's another nobody for you - Renzo Zorzi!

Has Pierluigi Martini been mentioned yet?

How about this for a team?

Lotus-Renault F1 Team
25. Bruno Senna

Wouldnt that be eerie? Bruno driving the #25 Lotus-Renault, 25 years after Ayrton drove a Lotus-Renault?

So what, we gonna see NOS USF1 wit Kyle Busch at the wheel?
Wouldn't be that bad I guess, he could shunt a few people off at Turn 1.

Sauber will sport a new Mercedes engine and Nick Heidfeld will still not win a race but his new team mate will get a couple. Team USF1 will dump the Cosworth and sign up the Toyota engine, to help Toyota push US sales. Not possible. Max would tell them to take a hike while counting the fresh dollar...

Yes, because I don't have a choice. Arsehole Teachers + Seating Plans = Fail.
But in the real world, you have a point.

Sebastian Vettel to make appearance on next series of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Revised Rules FTL. I was close to escaping Rejectdom!

No incidents, he was just unbelieveably slow.

With a big, supercharged V8, all-wheel drive and mud tyres. Oh yeah.

So the US GP will be hosted at Eldora Speedway then?

IIDOTR for me has to be:
Rubens Barrichello for winning from 5th, despite having Kovy ahead of him.
Nick Heidfeld for finishing 7th...dunno how he even made it there.

I could nominate a million things in that race, my but my votes go to:
Lewis Hamilton for obvious reasons.
Heikki Kovalainen for ruining the best strategy in the field by being plain slow.
Red Bull for being in no mans land all race.

That's a good point - how many points do we need to escape F1 Place Prediction Rejectdom? Do we get our own profiles?

Ha, I didn't see that one coming. Santander sponsoring Ferrari and McLaren at the same time! So I guess the McLaren sponsorship will just carry the Abbey brand name then...?

Uh-oh. Kovy looks the best bet to win this on strategy.
But then again, we are talking about Kovy, so he will probably be dead slow.

...especially when you consider what happened a year ago.

"Today, we ended up where we deserved to be" - Giorgio Ascanelli
Says it all really.

BMW for having the same engine problem in both cars.
Fisichella for crashing in FP3 then qualifying 14th.
Rosberg for being beaten by Nakajima
Toyota for yet again being completely unpredictable.

Liuzzi gets my vote so far. I was expecting him to be mixing it up with the Toro Rossos and not the Brawns and Red Bulls.

Lola-Visa F1 Team
Driver 1: Luca Filippi
Driver 2: Edoardo Mortara
Test Driver: What test driver?

I dunno.
Midland is the sorta team when someone asked me about them, I'd just reply "Meh."
Pretty slow, but not Deletraz slow.

+1. This would free up a seat at STR for Taku!

Rubens Barrichello - Bla Bla Bla http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBYd9UVBGTs

but I can't see him going to Campos over staying at Renault. That very much assumes that there's a Renault to stay at... The very reason I came up with the Campos theory. I don't think there will be a Renault for Alonso to race next year...hence the need to find a seat to fill the one/two year gap ...
