Grand Prix Rejects

Rubens was paid on a race by race basis, depending on the number of points he scored. I am gonna need a source on this, because that would make certain team mishaps in 2009 extremely suspicious. And the whole Honda pulling out >>> "management buyout oops won the championship fairy story" ...

1 spark plug in Vettel's car
2 erricson..... there just for his money

HM me for watching the whole race recorded earlier (as I was in Glasgow last night at a wedding) and falling asleep

WeirdKerr

1. Kimi's engine
2. Bottas just another meh drive today... he is the new DC....

HM me for switching off the hotel room tv as soon as the checkered flag fell missing that collision

WeirdKerr

1 Verstappen for trying to squeeze between the 2 Ferraris
2 Charlie Whiting, it should of been an SC start

HM Hulkenberg's Renault for not behaving its self and giving him the unwanted record...

WeirdKerr

*sigh* Was hoping we'd get a Red Bull pole (how times have changed) but Vettel has to pip both of them. And knowing Vettel, that's probably the win done and dusted already (the polesitter has taken P1 in the race in Singapore all but twice), hopefully Red Bull still has an opportunity to challenge ...

WeirdKerr

Was the Lamborghini "course car" at the back of the grid meant to have been there? I thought only the medical car started the first lap behind the grid.

WeirdKerr

Grid penalties: when only the pole sitter starts where he qualified it is time to get rid
the race: or lack of it... lol

WeirdKerr

So, apparently, Williams have no clue how their car had pace in the wet conditions aronud here. Considering past year experiences - where the Williams really strugged for mechanical grip, where even this year it was case, it was a really surprising performance. Anyone have a clue why would Williams...

WeirdKerr

new one....(why has nobody though of this category before)
Nominate your nomination for invisible driver of the race.....

Incidentally, I will be making the journey to Spa this year, having confirmed to myself that is in fact cheaper to drive from Bristol, pick up three mates, take the ferry to Calais and drive to Spa, camp for 4 nights, enjoy three days of Bronze general admission and drive home again for less than £...

I have been at the Belgian Grand Prix..... 22 years ago in 1995 as part of my 21st birthday present I did one of those organised tour things with a weekend in Brussels and sunday at the race

WeirdKerr

apparently the garage got a bit excited too as hulkenberg's sign came down as he was leaving the garage.....

WeirdKerr

You can blame Bernie for the corner numbers not names thing..... especially when it came to corners with commercial names, I remember Brundle saying in an interview in F1 racing saying that a memo came round to commentators to use the numbers rather than the commercial names on circuits as the compa...

WeirdKerr

1: me for even bothering to watch the race....
2: my HDMI lead that seemed to flick the signal on and off during the build up to send me scrambling round the house to find a better 1

WeirdKerr

haha......

WeirdKerr

I'm wondering if Palmer would of been better in the pre 2014 cars...

WeirdKerr

If F1 in 2040 isn't, essentially, Wipeout then whats the point of anything? well wacky races is also a possibility Wacky Races belongs in the past, not the future! http://static.wixstatic.com/media/5d6021_40b0a8fd965a45899863d2e2a511499d.gif Actual footage of next years force india car.....

Try telling someone new to F1 that the soft tyre is the hardest compound in the race...

I can just about remember 1986, drivers could and often would use mixed compounds on the cars

I'm genuinely surprised that hasn't happened yet.

other than the Redbullring are there any circuits that have sold their naming rights or are named after their owners?

hat under the bridge

WeirdKerr

that whole race.... yawn livened up by some frain bade

worst race of the year.... and I stand by my opinion that Monaco is just there because of its history... the track is too tight for this new breed of cars and its an opinion i've had since 1989.....

Pity he wasn't doing the Nürburgring 24 hour race this weekend.....

WeirdKerr

Over hyped and living on the legends of the past.... this year's race is going to crazy and chaotic with the wider cars, to be honest it outlived it's usefulness years ago and it's only there for tradition's sake

is what I said on a reply to a WTF1 facebook post and I stand by this opinion....

WeirdKerr

16 years since Ferrari last won Monaco..... the last time they went for 16 years without winning was in 1997 and they won that year too....

WeirdKerr

1 Bottas

spinning under the safety car was something Coulthard(I used to be a fan of him...) would do....
2 Sauber: are they just going through the motions....

HM to Rosb oops I mean Bottas's race engineer

WeirdKerr

I'd love to see Audi in F1...but not as much as id like to see Lamborghini return to f1.....

WeirdKerr

Ferarri pit stra.... wait they finally did a thing!

K -Mag for that silliness

and the sauber graphic for nearly giving me a heart attack

If only. And before anybody touts the possibility of Inoue-Honda I think I'd prefer to see two lovely Ide-Honda F1 cars lining up on the grid

WeirdKerr

RIP... regarding knighthoods iirc he may have turned it down as it is possible to do so....

I bet that the McLaren wIll not be orange and if I lose I will have William of Orange as my avatar for the rest of the year....

WeirdKerr

WeirdKerr

Why not a total reboot ... a clean sheet and start with a new set of simpler regulations 2.0 v6 turbos without the hybrid gubbins Wing end-plates standardised front and rear Down force levels fixed for the whole season, Slightly shorter races 250km or there abouts and a sprint race of say 75km or so...
