Grand Prix Rejects

Up the Toon! 3-1 Defeat, but 5th place is not to be sniffed at. Unlike those idiots on wearside in red and white who don't seem to know what team to support. Groups/Pages on facebook and various forums are littered with sunderland supporters posting about Everton. Anyways, back on topic. I still ca...

Today I recieved my two 1/43 scale (reject related) Onyx model cars. First up is Paul Belmondo 's Pacific from 1994 ( unfortunantly I couldn't find a Deletraz or 'Johnny Carwash' (Lavaggi) model car) http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/3328/kicx0771.jpg Next is "undoubtedly the greatest driver th...

I can't remember a goal scored by Cisse this season that's been nothing short of remarkable I'm really taking this off topic now, but when I worked for a certain state-owned Mail Delivery Service, shortly before I was made redundant I was talking to a manager who supported Liverpool and despised my...

It certainly is and I noticed it, however I'd like to know if anyone here knows what happened to it.

I recall the day well (from my perspective), Having missed practice and qualifying due to activities with the parents, I managed to catch the start of the race. Having witnessed the collision on the start line and the resulting safety car's appearance, I waited with baited breath when the race resta...

While I don't look forward to see more links like this, I must admit I am intrigued by it. If Sauber gains coverage from having its merchandise selling in Chelsea shops or appearing in a football match and people noticing it, I say that is quite positive for the team. I don't know what were the Che...

BBC's F1 page currently has his name spelled as 'Alsonso'.

Why do I have a feeling Clarkson will be unleashing a load of finger-related jokes?

Can't see this happening. Its not their sort of programming, and they don't have the budget. I'd have believed it in the 90s when they had other sport (I know they had Italian football, possibly American football as well?) but I agree with you that now it wouldn't fit with them at all. Bingo! While...

Oooh, maybe we could see the return of Soooobaroooooooooo!!!

Drivers who celebrated a win with a celebration other than a solitary finger.

From wiki... "Vettel finished as runner-up in the 2006 F3 Euroseries, behind series leader and team mate Paul di Resta. He also made his debut in the World Series by Renault at Misano, winning after Pastor Maldonado was disqualified.[5] However, at the next round at Spa-Francorchamps, his finge...

I'll take great pleasure in saying the name again, and most will agree...

All interviews with Nigel Mansell are captivating.

It seemed to be a public vote, from what I could tell. I only watched a bit. In which case, football players or boxers are almost always going to win. Mansell and Hill have both won it.... Twice! Strange version of The Chain with Eddie Jordan on the drums. Somebody PLEASE get EJ a Metronome!

Or Playlife! with its half-flipped logo

Now that would be amusing, however the only way you'll see Playlife return is if Benetton buy their team back.

Hi Hi! I finally figured out how to work Grand Prix Manager 2...1-2 finish for Forti at Monza! Gianni Morbidelli you genius! Though my game in particular is a bit screwed up. In that same race, Thomas Kommass a.k.a. Érik Comas somewhoe qualified 3rd for Footwork and slowed everybody waaaaay down Wa...

Here's a thought, if Renault were to also withdraw as an engine supplier, could we see the return of Mechachrome?

Although the same engine, no chance of seeing Supertecs back as that company is owned by Briatore.

What do a lorry on the A1* and Grosjean have in common?

*British readers understand!

One has to contend with bumper-to-bumper-traffic, the other is slow!

HWNSNBM doesn't 'tea-bag' the ladies, he potato-sacks them.

For sure Brundle is better informed, less biased, and much better at telling us what is going on. Hunt shot his mouth off, and was unjustifiably rude about many drivers. Quite entertaining though. Not forgetting his repetitive, scathing, sly verbal attacks on Patrese. However nobody is worse than J...

i would have loved to work for Super Aguri heard that they won the 'best coffee in the grid' championship sometime in early '06 hootie Only because Minardi was gone... Was about to post that. Apparently Alessando Nannini's enthusiasm for the team (before he switched to Benetton) was kept only by th...

The identity of the team's second driver (although Renault have said they could wait until January before signing someone ... I'm interpreting ths as meaning they're looking for a newcomer and/or that there will be a clear distinction between drivers based on experience) Now that Flav the Flab is o...

Jean-Christophe Boullion.

Ok, he was test driver for Williams, but was hyped up by the F1 media to make him look like the next Alain Prost... which he wasn't! To be honest, he wasn't that great in the BTCC either!

In Formula 1 (1995) which was first PlayStation game of the series, I can remember that you could stop on a narrow place and everyone else would stop behind too except few drivers from the back could make it through. So you could see Pacific of Forti winning the race. Brilliant game. So simplistic ...

I first tuned in around 1990 but never took it seriously for obvious reasons (being 7!). As for being a bit more serious about it, F1 has been hit and miss, but... It started in 1994 and Damon Hill's rise from support driver to Prost/Senna to No.1 at Williams. Getting up at stupid o' clock in the Mo...
