Grand Prix Rejects

When Team Fernandes or Team Air Asia score, I should have put. Group Bahar have already scored.

Aww, I'll miss your Lotus 109 avatar.

I'll bring it back when Team Lotus score a point.

I have some reject-related What If moments here. What if...Panis's engine finally let go, allowing the Forti of Pedro Diniz into 6th place and scoring a point at the 1995 Australian Grand Prix. What would the future hold for Forti? What if...Andrea Moda had been allowed to use the old Coloni chassis...

I fear the Renault engine has all but ended Douglas's chances for the title. I was just ahead of him coming up to the hairpin and suddenly all I could see was a HUGE plume of smoke behind me. All I have to do now is to win the next race and I will be champion! Considering my awful luck in the first...

I must say I wasn't expecting to be nearly a second faster than Daniel! I knew I was on a better lap, but I didn't think it would give me pole, let alone be faster by that margin. Looks like it's going to be another three-way duel between us come race day. On another note, what the bathplug were Mc...

Quite a solid race I thought. The only thing I did of note was a pass round the outside of Phoenix at Hella-Licht. Anyone else think this 'A1-Ring' has ruined the old Osterrichring? It is going to be a tight last three races of the season, with the top three covered by just 4 points, any mistake or...

The FIA do know how to ruin a feel-good moment, don't they. It must be a coincidence that the main beneficiary of the disqualification is Ferrari... Anyway, I do hope they win their appeal. They both drove brilliantly and deserved their places. Besides, I think it was just a mere technicality. The w...

I prehaps could have done without binning it big style at the Parabolica trying to avoid Thomas De Bock's sick Sauber which was crawling back to the pits. 17th place at the fastest circuit on the calender with Douglas and Daniel in 2nd and 3rd places, with a down on horsepower Yamaha engine... Toug...

Zonta was to drive the 555 car, and Villenueve was to drive the Lucky Strike car, from what I remember from a book about the 1999 season. I wonder if anyone has any images of the cars in their seperate liveries before the adoption of the split livery?

I actually remember watching the 01 race back in 1999, and I liked it because of it's livery. I still do like the livery 12 years later. Am I right in saying the car was so crap Villenueve had a 12 race streak in which he failed to finish. I also believe Villenueve was running behind Badoer in the 1...

Why this race even went ahead is beyond me. 4 laps in and I aquaplaned off at Stavelot backwards. That hurt like hell and I was lucky Thomas didn't crash into the remains of my car as he went off at the same time just behind. There was just cars everywhere that lap. At least 6 cars including mine e...

With both Daniel and Douglas well down the field, I could say I have an easy win on my hands, considering my pole. But this is Spa, where nothing is normal. It could bucket down at Stavelot and Malmedy and be dry at this reject chicane they have before the line. In short, I don't know what might ha...

I echo Phoenix's comments. I passed Miguel and Douglas into the first corner, and save for an all too brief duel between me and Douglas, which was ruined when we lapped that idiot Roda and he baulked Douglas, I nearly fell asleep during the race. Still, can't say no to another 10 points! I swear to...

It was vital for this race that I bagged a good placing in qualifying, due to this track being shite, and I did so. Douglas Mann is in front of me and I expect another tough race between us. As for Melrose, I think he must have hit a Mastercard Lola during a faster lap, because I was certain from h...

Mastercard Lola Mk2?

Kolles hopes for reliability from an untested car? And I'm hoping to win the Monaco Grand Prix despite never driving a car in my life.

As an added bonus, here are the drivers who are still F1RWRS Rejects: Nicolas Steele (1 5th) Tristan Jung (1 5th) Adam Lewis (2 6ths) Damon Cannon (1 8th) Shinobu Katayama (1 10th) Daniel Martins (1 12th) Resi Respati (1 12th) Dean O'Lauchlan (1 14th) Collin Pratchett (1 21st) Dougal Kerr (1 DNS) R...

Didier Pironi

Am I right in saying that Monteverdi Onyx (one of my favourite past teams because of their 1989 performances) had built a 1991 prototype to run under the Monteverdi name, before they closed down after Hungary. Larrousse had drawings for a 1995 car before they shut up shop. Who knows what might have ...

Truli-train...

11th place is a bit of a let down considering the last few races. Just like in Canada, the Yamaha powerplant doesn't have the legs of the Renualt and Ferrari engines on long straights. My priorities are to avoid the inevitable first corner/chicane accident which always happens in the midfield here ...

Cristiano Da Matta

Ferrari 640

Jordan 191 livery.

This race will live with me for many years to come. Virtually every lap the four of us were dicing all over the circuit. How we managed not to put ourselves into the gravel traps I will never know! I do believe the winning margin that Douglas had over me, at 0.008 seconds, has to be the smallest ma...

Ivan Capelli

Richie White has discovered to his horror that Group Lotus has written a clause into his contract (in the small print) which binds him to the team for at least the whole of next season, with heavy punishments if he attempts to break contract or talk to other teams during this period.

It is nice to catch a glimpse of what F1 was like 20 odd years ago by watching and reading about HRT.

What was this crap about random race results? That's 6 straight DNFs, how is that random? Sorry. But I am getting really annoyed with this. Damon Cannon commiserates with you, for he suffered 4 straight DNFs in the first 4 races, although two of them were the fault of a certain Mastercard Lola driv...

GO! GO! GO! (Murray Walker)

I note the 'Your logo could be here' logos are still on the car. Here's hoping that the car does exceed expectations and clear the 107% rule (which, by the way is a stupid, stupid rule which only really worked with the antics of Mastercard Lola) regularily. Also hoping a certain V. Liuzzi doesn't cr...

Yet another win! I spent much of the race fighting with Thomas De Bock and Hagane Shizuka, until they collided at the chicane putting Thomas out and dropping Hagane down the field. It is extremely tight though at the top, with both Daniel and Douglas on the podium. Bring on the second half of the s...

Vettel will take the first one easily. Heidfeld will put up a good fight, but Alonso will prevail. Webber Hamilton (was there really any contest here?) Risky here, but the Renualt has got the measure of the McLaren, so incredibly, considering I'm a Brit, I find myself predicting a Petrov win here (S...
