Grand Prix Rejects

Poor old Channel 4, not only are they competing with a one-off terrestrial tv event but they've been stabbed in the back by... Channel 4!

Treble vodka and Rich Energy's all 'round!

I didn't hate the French GP. It wasn't the most memorable race, as evidenced by the fact that I can't remember much about it, mostly Russell's pass that didn't even get shown and people complaining about the stripes I actually think look kind of cool, but it wasn't offensively bad like, say, the av...

Pretty fair, Lewis did have major brain fade there. It'd be the first time he's been totally self absorbed though

Spectoremg

Do McLaren have on option on Fernando for 2020 now the car's working quite well? Just saying.

Spectoremg

Just to get the ball rolling.
An extremely picturesque track. That's all I have to say.

Spectoremg

I've only this to offer:
I was only half listening to the bit where Haas told Grojean to retire. For a second my heart skipped a beat with joy. Then I realised they didn't mean permanently. Why is this man in F1?

Spectoremg

1. Stewards.

2. Hamilton's whinging.

HM. The Kubica farce. Not the man himself but the perfect storm of sorry circumstances that have led to this sorry situation. Somebody please take Williams around the back of the stables with a shotgun.

Spectoremg

Stroll. Well done.

The circuit. One of my favourites.

Spectoremg

I was at Thruxton on Sunday to witness a remarkably dull affair. Even the reverse grid race was unspectacular.

Spectoremg

Ferrari: dismal in several departments.
Dishonourable mention: This circuit. I'm heartened to hear that it's under threat. There can't be many micky mouse circuits that have screwed up a corner to make it worse!

That's a shame. Maybe money has always been a struggle?
Given the sponsor I have an overwhelming urge to spray 'Cock Piss Partridge' on the side of that.

Spectoremg

Robert Kubica - what were you thinking?
Williams - tons of affection for Frank but it just doesn't wash any more - you've got to try to be THAT bad!

Spectoremg

Paddy Lowe on 'gardening leave'.

Spectoremg

How about Vettel not being the wonderboy Ferrari thought he was going to be and it's all gone pear shaped?

Andreas Seidl joining McLaren.

Spectoremg

I'm not surprised at this. Possibly the start of a Ferrari implosion. And if LeClerc's better than Vettel this year there'll be another head rolling.

https://www.planetf1.com/news/bottas-loses-main-sponsor-after-weak-results/ Bottas has lost his main sponsor, which might put his Mercedes seat in jeopardy. Ouch. He had a bad season in 2018, yes, but certainly not poor enough to deserve such a pull in support from all sides. I hope he finds someth...

Spectoremg

Mercedes sack Bottas and give Alonso the drive.*

*Totally ficticious.

Spectoremg

Two visits to Thruxton next year - May/August - YEEESSSS!!

Spectoremg

And the Kubica story grinds on. Clearly he's now as desperate as Williams are.

Spectoremg

Nothing to fight for in either championship. I'll watch it because I'm an F1 junkie but is anyone else not bothered?

Spectoremg

Here's a massive 20/20 hindsight vision ponder - just the way you like it:
I watched the Senna movie again at the weekend; how would he have fared in subsequent years if he'd stayed at McLaren for the rest of his presumably long career?

Spectoremg

Are we talking about the home of F1 Silverstone that wad redesigned eight years ago for... motorcycles?
Making the spectacle exciting on any track would be a good start.

Spectoremg

Is anyone else doubting Vettel's credentials? He's been diddling around at Ferrari now for four years without much success and not exactly blowing his team mate away.

Spectoremg

Bottas. I managed to forget him in just two hours today.

Spectoremg

Can we have a separate loony moves for Kubica thread? If his only option is a pay drive at Williams then it is over for him.

Spectoremg

Any track new or old can look dull with the current cars.

Spectoremg

How about a change of scheduling?
Get the touring cars on first and get them finished first. If the stragglers want to hang around for the Porches or whatever so be it. It was getting dark at Brands last week cos guess what? The last race was late.

Spectoremg

Vettel. Did someone tell him Red Bull were now a satellite team and Max would jump out of his way? Ferrari are in a state. Watch this space.
HM: current technology for making even Suzuka seem dull.

Spectoremg

I'll message properly later.

Spectoremg

Nicole Kidman's let me down at the last minute so I have a ticket available.
Sunday admission and Paddock Hill seats.
£48 face value but I'll take less rather than it go to waste.
Travelling from the Portsmouth area.

Fat b@$t@rd$ (I want some space) and boring types need not apply.

Spectoremg

Sauber and Williams need the financial deal that Ferrari get, that's what keeps you in F1 forever

Spectoremg

When was the last time McLaren didn't have a 'name' driver?

Spectoremg

I won't miss Ben Edwards next season (hopefully he'll fade into obscurity), his over excited strangulation commentary is getting on my nerves.

Spectoremg

Ferrari. Lock out the front row and can't get Vettel into the lead?
The Red Bull team principal: Max.

Spectoremg

Spectoremg

PTWOTY (pretentious twoddle word of the year). Cromulent.

Spectoremg

I wonder how much machinery Kvyat smashed up compared to the Dutch golden child?

Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff : Talk about sore losers and crying foul play. Lewis being a miserable git everytime he doesn't win a race is nothing new anymore which is understandable as long as you deliver big results. However suggesting Ferrari used "interesting tactics" (code for: Ferr...
