Grand Prix Rejects

Cynon

I rather like the Kenny Hamilton Indy 500 car. Reminds me of a jet -- only fitting that Eagle Aircraft sponsors it!

The Ligier JS21 reminds me of the Lola B03/00 Champ Car a bit. Especially that front wing.

None of the track designs I have seen in this thread compare to this little idea I whipped up...

Behold.

Scott Speed has said repeatedly that he doesn't want to go back to F1. So what they're going to need is ... well, either Kyle Busch or a couple of high ranking IRL drivers. I really hope Busch takes the opportunity so he can go out there, flunk, and then whine about it. Speed is out of the question ...

Cynon

Scott Speed's name in and of itself makes him memorable. There was a NASCAR driver named Lake Speed that was also memorable because of his name. I'd say Vincenzo Sospiri only because he drove for MasterCard Lola, but the fact that he did drive for MasterCard Lola I think can make him memorable... li...

Who's to say Aguri Suzuki won't get his engines from Toyota?

Cynon

I think Zanardi's case for reprieve is not justified, because the topic is drivers who were at least decent in F1 but were for whatever circumstances, rejects. Alex Zanardi is very much like Sebastien Bourdais, while a fantastic racing driver, just crap in an F1 car. Badoer, van de Poele, and Dalmas...

Here's another factoid to support Ferrari's ROTR bid: If they go one more race with no points, then they'll have scored fewer points than SOOPA AGURI did in 2007 at this stage of the season.

The past two Renault liveries have been hideous. Red, Orange, Yellow, and White do look nice together, but in order to have colors look nicely together, you have to have a design that won't look like puke! 1999 BAR looked pretty pug ugly from what I saw of it... Last year's Honda was as ugly as it w...

Cynon

Michael Schumacher - Yes he's gone but if Bernie is the Emperor Palpatine of Formula 1 Michael Schumacher is the Darth Vader, minus the saving grace of the latter. Does that mean Max Mosely is the Jar Jar Binks for Formula One, then? Mesa Maxie Moswey! Who do I hate the most in F1 right now? Nick F...

Cynon

Sebastien Bourdais gets a nomination for forgetting that he isn't winning races in Champ Car anymore and doing donuts after spinning. Okay, that's partially me being peeved that he tossed a potential points finish out the window. Reject of the Race? Robert Kubica, who I swore was trying to see if ho...

Cynon

And as for a USGP sponsor ... ING and RBS are pulling out of F1, it's time another financial powerhouse filled the breach. AIG anyone? In the middle of an economic recession that was started by American-based financiers? Not to mention their liquidity crisis, the need for federal government bailout...

Cynon

A Chicago Grand Prix where the drivers must navigate the South Side with gangs (hello Vice Lords) shooting at the drivers (we ARE the murder capitol of America), then navigate Dan Ryan expressway during rush hour, and then navigate through a track designed to look like Mayor Daley's ego (it will mak...

Cynon

More to add: Steven Wallace- While his father, NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace was good enough to be F1 world champion (it always says volumes when you massacre the field on tracks that are more driver than car in the 90s. Also, having a World Champion named Rusty would certainly make people smile), Ste...

Cynon

Or perhaps NASCAR Rejects? Because then we'd see Jacques Villeneuve, Christian Fittipaldi, and Roberto Guerrero (whose NASCAR career was very Kuwashima-esque) having profiles. Of course, this is taking all liberties and including all three of NASCAR's major tours!

Since we all know or should know that the FIA always falls on the side of Ferrari, I wonder if this is an effort to make Ferrari not look as pathetic as it is right now. So let's assume that the Malaysian GP results change and McLaren are disqualified from that race as well as from Australia. This w...

Cynon

Reject of the Race- Ferrari
In four starts (two for each car), Takuma Sato had more points then you in a SOOPA AGURI two years ago.

Cynon

Someone tell me how Bourdais made it through Q1, and Massa got eliminated... Buemi I can sort of understand since he ran off the track. Scuderia Toro Rosso is doing their job as being the Minardi/SOOPA AGURI of the field right now, Bourdais is 1.1 seconds off the fastest time in Q2... ...and Jense j...

Cynon

Just heard on a news program that Hamilton admitted "misleading the stewards, but insists he's not a liar". Now, you probably don't need to be Phoenix Wright ([/Random Nintendo Game Reference]) to spot the contradiction here. OBJECTION! Lewis, if you were Pinocchio, your nose would be so ...

Cynon

Get it over with and give Sebastien Bourdais Reject of the Race unless some greater force of lunacy strikes, because there's no way someone of his pedigree should be thoroughly lashed by Sebastien Buemi on pace alone.

Don't worry, he's doing his career in NASCAR justice -- he sucks there, too.

What about Caroll Shelby?

Cynon

Here's a more subtle point...

Ferrari -- Failing to score a point in the season opener for the first time since 1992.

Cynon

I don't think Danica Patrick has any interest in F1 from what I've heard. Besides, in the IRL, she's very much like Tom Sneva, fantastic on the high speed ovals but mid-rear of the pack everywhere else. How could I have forgotten these CART flops! Shigeaki Hattori- Someone actually created a Shigeak...

...now, if both Brawns, the Toyotas, and the Williams's are disqualified... Alonso wins Buemi second (escapes reject status) Bourdais third (escapes reject status) Sutil fourth (Force India escapes reject status I think) Heidfeld fifth Fisichella sixth Webber seventh Vettel eighth despite crashing H...

I think Brawn is banking on doing very very well early on in the season so they can pick up sponsorship for the rest of the season. Virgin has jumped on the bandwagon, I think it's a matter of time before they'll pick something else up.

Cynon

This thread is for drivers who, judging by what they accomplished (or rather, didn't), would have created all sorts of merth and mayhem in F1. Some drivers here may have been many-times a Reject of the Race award if they didn't stay in Reject status or get Reject of the Year.... So let's begin. Paul...

This is from ESPN, though, so I shouldn't be surprised. Their coverage for motorsport in the U.S. for anything not IndyCars made the ITV F1 coverage look like heaven on Earth, literally going out of their way to create things that didn't exist like draft lock for their NASCAR coverage. So whenever I...

Cynon

The GBP50,000 fine to Red Bull was for allowing him to circulate with 3 wheels! Which I think is a bit of a disgrace, really, the car is still moving and it's not like parts of his car are flying at race speed into people's faces (and the stewards have already shown they're fine with that. See: Rai...

Cynon

It would be fantastic if Jenson Button won the WDC -- because look what he's won twice: Reject of the Year. To rub salt in the wound, it would also be fantastic if Lewis Hamilton won Reject of the Year. Sadly, that is hypothetical seeing as Nelson Piquet has already decided that if he's going to win...

Cynon

Yuji Ide. Yes, Deletraz wiggled his car about and stuff and was way off the pace, but it takes some real talent (or rather, lack of it!) to get your superlicense revoked for causing Christijan Albers to do a barrel roll on the first lap!

Cynon

1984 Dallas was actually a very good race, despite the hilariously poor design of the track, which I think probably contributed to how good the race ended up being.

2005 USA...

1999 Spain was also pretty much a failure. One recorded passing maneuver? Disgraceful.

Cynon

My pick for favorite reject driver is Hans Heyer for being to Formula 1 what Delma Cowart was to NASCAR. Illegally starting a race gets you some awesome points, and especially doing it without the stewards noticing what's going on! Favorite reject team... ... Andrea Moda, just for how hilariously in...

Cynon

Sebastien Bourdais I actually rate quite highly (but no better than 14th overall of all drivers last season), but I don't think he's suited to Formula 1 cars and was more at home in Champ Cars. Not quite as hopeless as Michael Andretti, though. All the second-year drivers are going to have a rough t...

Cynon

But now we're back in the swing of things somewhat, we're open to suggestions. Acronyms, captions, haikus... what's left!? Is there anything wrong with re-visiting any of those? I think a better idea would be to draw a better layout for the Valencia street circuit. In comes Bourdais, to the 14 car ...

Cynon

Question... do drivers that ran the Indy 500 from 1950 to 1960 exclusively count as F1 rejects? Because during that time, the Indy 500 was a part of the World Championship. If that is the case, does this mean that A.J. Foyt, who is seen as the greatest racing driver of all time, qualifies for reject...

Cynon

I think Reject of the Race considerations go to Ferrari for going without points in the first round of the World Championship since... guhhh... I don't know, like 20 years or something... I remember the U.S. broadcasters made a big deal out of it last year when initially both Kimi and Felipe's engin...

Cynon

He'll last the entire season, but that's because Fernando Alonso needs a weak teammate that will troddle along in the back in order to make himself look better than he really is. A reject in disguise if I ever saw one, doesn't deserve his seat, but will probably keep it. Bruno Senna and Lucas di Gra...

Cynon

I have an abnormally high color-vision and I still found the green tire harder to pick out, probably because they chose a dark green. Bridgestone did the same screw-up a few years ago when they first introduced the option tire markers. What is wrong with Champ Car's old Redwall/Blackwall tire progra...

Cynon

Rubens had done quite well in Q1 and Q2. Actaully I was expecting him to take pole, but anyway dont be surprised if he challenges Button for win. Watch out at back near NPJ's car, he might take out a few people........... ...Or perhaps create a safety car period to Renault advantage again...? That'...

I'd have liked this podcast a lot more if I wasn't stunned in shock over the picture on the main page through half of it. Okay, seriously now, pretty good work -- especially with the interviews, though I'm surprised nobody said Sebastien Bourdais (he whinged a lot in Champ Cars), who I cheer for des...
