Grand Prix Rejects

Apparently Bas Leinders was refused a super license, which is about the most recent example, except for Loeb, which prevented him from driving in a practice session for Minardi - pretty rejectful if the FIA don't even trust you to drive in a practice session. An even better fit for this mod would be...

Some of my favourite WI's: What if Red Bull had got their way and placed Enrique Bernoldi at Sauber in 2001?

McLaren - British team (ignore the famous Kiwi ...

I started watching Formula One in the mid 90s but what really got me into the rejects was some Top Trumps (a popular card game) we had whi...
