Grand Prix Rejects

I understand as well that, regardless of whether or not the Rio move is even feasible, Interlagos has a contract to hold the race until 2020 anyway. And while we're on the thread topic, it now appears that two races will be dropped ahead of next year , presumably to make way for Hanoi and Zandvoort....

Rio's no better...

Obviously all the "Mibbit pls" and "Goddammit Mibbit" comments every time y'all get disconnected have pushed it just that little bit too far.

Remember when Bizarre Creations took a slightly different approach and made F1 98 a management game? Of course you don't, I accidentally made it up last night. Yep, instead of the execrable F1 98 that we actually got, the folks behind the critically acclaimed F1 95 and F1 97 came back with a strateg...

An F1 fan doesn't forget Roland, no, but the general population who otherwise might be familiar with Senna and that he died tragically in 1994 will almost certainly not have even heard of him. Imola '94 is a bit of a JFK moment in my family - who, apart from myself and my brother, don't really care ...

Assen is Grade 2, not Grade 1: m Oddly enough, the Wikipedia page on the subject says it's Grade 1 despite including the same pdf in its references... But yes, it is strange that Liberty have been so dead set on Zandvoort over Assen this whole time, despite the latter reportedly having actual fundin...

Due to the fact that the 1.6-litre championship has closed up somewhat with Piper's DNF, I've decided not to put Al Pease in one of the three cars and instead open him up to any locally based privateer who may want to run the spare Lotus. So basically, Lotus' Mosport entries will just be the same as...

And Racing Point.

Everything this weekend except the race - That is not an endorsement for the race.

Disagree with Ferrari strategists. I honestly don't see what they could have done to improve their standing unfortunately.

This was not one of those weekends.

I've noticed recently that the forum clock is a few minutes ahead of actual time. I'm posting this at 1746 UK time according to my laptop, however the forum claims I posted it at 1752. I've been noticing the same thing over the past... year maybe? Started off as a 2-3 minute discrepancy and slowly ...

Yep, definitely one of those weekends.

Inb4 the race is a repeat of 2016...

I've been a fan of Mahaveer Raghunathan's since his impressive GP3 stint back in 2016, and seeing him perform the same kind of magic in F2 is... so beautiful.

In addition, there was a further incident involving Russell's Williams. Russell's FW42 was caught up in another incident as it returned to the pitlane on the recovery truck, as the crane that had extricated it made contact with a bridge and was damaged, spilling liquid onto the F1 car sat on its fl...

Ex-BMW works touring car and F2 driver Hubert Hahne has passed away after suffering from dementia for the past while. Hahne was a frontrunner in saloons, winning the over-2-litre class of the European Touring Car Challenge in 1966, and he was the first person to lap the Nordschleife in under ten min...

I'd say Albon personally. Pit lane to points in a midfield car is usually pretty impressive.

I think without question it has to be Alain Prost. That was without a doubt the single worst flag-waving attempt in my time watching this sport, and my faith in the race-finishing procedure is forever shaken. I'm officially done with F1!

We're gonna need a bigger bin.

The 2019 Chinese Grand Prix will be: ⋅ The 1,040th race in the combined history of the AIACR World Manufacturers' Championship, AIACR European Drivers' Championship, CSI/FISA World Drivers' Championship, CSI/FISA International Cup for F1 Constructors, and FIA Formula One World Championship...

Yeah, this is about the best we get nowadays: The first food to step away from is sugar.

Many foods that you've always learned are healthy are not and will actua...

Hmmm, fair points to both. I found the way he managed to pull out the massive gap over Bottas much like Valtteri himself did in Australia to be really impressive, but I guess the opening laps seem like a distant memory to me given everything that happened later! I actually don't know much about or p...

What Charlie Brown said. If we want to bring this to a close though, I agree that, if anything, we should have one last race to end it all for good. Should this race even happen, what will the race be? And how many drivers will be allowed into it? Open entries up to everyone, massive pre-qualifying...

What did he do wrong then?

Gotta be McLaren. They haven't looked this good in a single race since they were running a Merc hybrid, probably.

I expected nothing less from Leclerc.

Wanted to say Ferrari, but this is just too good of a point. Renault it is.

I'm with the Fernando Alonso wax sculpture and Hannibal Buress on this one. Let's nuke this sucker from orbit.

Knowing Alonso this surely can’t be accidental.

That's why I was calling out Aerond: it was the original name for his Alt-F1 team.

Aerond has some explaining to do: https://twitter.com/FARACINGTEAM

Apart from the stupid failure to police track limits It wasn't exactly a failure on race control's part: they deliberately allowed the cars to run wide at turn 19. It was the same story in the support races, and when IMSA used to visit Austin. It's just the way they do things over there. There's a ...

André Pilette also had three sixth places, which means he's not a reject driver.

Wishing the best also for Tatiana Calderon, the first woman driver in F2/GP2. *since Marie-Claude Beaumont. https://i.imgur.com/6SSN320.jpg Well, Giovanna Amati really given that F3000's in that continuity.

It never seemed like a valuable method of determining championship position in any series to me, and I'd be a bit disappointed to see it brought back to the World Championship. That said, the 2016 Formula E finale was one of the funniest races I've ever seen thanks to the way the fastest lap rule wo...

A response! Ah thank you so much for the help and leads to check out! That said, holy crap, I didn't know regulations of F1 from the past were so Cloak and Dagger. :eyes: If I may ask, does the FIA adhere to requests made with the Freedom of Information Act? Unsure if such an act exists in the coun...

Hi there, first post here! I'd to ask the forum folks, is there a publicly accessible version of the F1 Rules/Regulations to check out? From any point in time, if such a thing exists at all? Kind of unsure if this kind of stuff is something the people who run F1 would ever release to the public. :s...

But yeah, some cool insights on the new Huski Chocolate Orange Arrows™ there.

I think it bears mentioning that Verstappen and Gasly will be driving "Red Bull Racings" and not simply "Red Bulls" this year. In fact, I believe that's what the 'official' chassis name has been from the beginning - certainly the past few years. Although I would love "Racing...

Speaking of alternatives to F1, I often wonder why one didn't spring up during Japan's 80s boom. Was the competition from Group C too strong? Formula Nippon (iirc was F3000 cars with upgrades) attracted upcoming European drivers (Eddie Irvine, Heinz Harald Frentzen, Roland Ratzenberger etc....) If ...
