Grand Prix Rejects

Oh wow I was looking for a film to watch, and on these last few posts I gave Ran a watch. Wow, what a film

GPRejects ain't a bad place to get good film recommendations!

I assume it is Thursday when we find out if Alonso is allowed to race in China? I for one would actually like to see Vandoorne get another race, just to see if he can consistently beat Button.

I remember being a kid and thinking that Montoya was an American team. I don't know how I thought that.

It's funny, because it genuinely took them 2 and a half weeks before they caved in to pressure to change it back. The head of motorsport governance.

Seeing how badly McLaren have been doing this year has made me forget how badly they did last year. I was thinking that having 1 point after 2 races must have McLaren in an even worse situation than last year, but no, by this time last year McLaren still had no points, and didn't get any until Butto...

What!? Haryanto didn't win IIDOTR? I must take to Twitter. If only I had a Twitter account and no life.

I've got an avatar bet that says Gutierrez will beat Grosjean this year, so I'm 99.3% sure he's gonna do it!

Scientists will analyse this thread one day.

What we want is BMW to buy themselves back in, with the glorious overdue return of Quick Nick Lars Heidfeld!

I think of Robert Doornbos when I hear Stoffel's name: Stoffel Vandoornbos.

This thread should be renamed 'Stoffel Vandoorne as Food'.

Put my vote for the greatest driver of all time.

1. McLaren - I'm actually surprised I haven't seen too many nominating these guys. Haas have 18 points and McLaren have 1. Their car is apparently still slow and unreliable. They haven't MOVED ANYWHERE!
2. but yeah, Force India are doing pretty dire, which is a shame.

1. Rio Haryanto - as if I have to say why 2. Haas F1 Team - it was improbable in my opinion that they'd actually be as consistently capable as they are, therefore I'm giving them 2nd. Honourable mention to laps 1 and 2 - the rest of the race couldn't possibly live up to that, but it was worth watchi...

And so begins the test run for Stoffel Vandoorne. Regardless of what happens next year, McLaren are going to get some tasty info as to how Vandoorne can cope in a race situation. If he can finish with any number of points, I think we may see him drop in sooner rather than later.

I do remember being loudly supportive of a Captain Hammer coup, but I've forgotten just about all the details behind why there was even a coup

I for one would welcome our new Hammer overlord.

You know that from now on, I'm going to vote Rio Haryanto for every IIDOTR. There'll be no list he won't be on

Big news (for me at least ): I've managed to get an Erasmus exchange placement for my next year of university in Uppsala, Sweden. First of all, are there any Swedes on the forum I can contact about maybe going to motorsport events in the country? Also, has anyone here been to the Rally of Sweden bef...

Well, 50-100 is a lot of channels, but that does not mean they show anything of any quality. Half of the channels are like jewellery selling shows, or showing constant repeats of terrible panel shows, or adult channels that only come on after midnight or whatever. But that's television I suppose. Ha...

Bernie Ecclestone apparently told the Strategy Group that it was a good idea to try the dumb system again. There were three options: 1. go back to the old system - lots of people wanted that 2. try a hybrid of the new system and the old - there was at least a vocal portion of people who wanted that ...

In Britainland we get 'Freeview' television, which is something like 50-100 channels, which are all free to watch. However, there a couple of 'Cable' companies (for lack of a better word) like Sky which give you a couple of hundred more channels, which between them pretty much have everything on the...

If I recall, Margaret Thatcher once said 'there is no such thing as social media'...

This won't make me buy Sky. It'll just make me illegally download their coverage more often.

They are U-turning again? A U-turn on their original U-turn?

So there's an online poll after every race as to who the best driver of the day was, which the FIA will just ignore and give their own result to?

Well that takes away all the fun! Now we can't speculate!

Manor failing completely to consider how best to approach the race strategically. Are they actively handicapping themselves so they remain last or what? IMO the elephant in the room in the discussions after Australia was the pace of Manor. There was something of an early charge by one of them among...

Gutierrez will most definitely beat Grosjean this year. I have a feeling as well as a bet that says he will.

1. Qualifying - let's put it back on the fridge along with all the other great ideas like medals and water sprinklers 2. Max Verstappen - bet he's glad the qualifying incident happened, because he finished 10th after demanding special treatment over Carlos Sainz, whom he did not pass, yet complained...

Two simple great things to take away from the weekend:
1. Haas F1 Team and their 6th place
2. Car safety that saved Fernando Alonso

I watched the Sky coverage, and the reaction was pretty universal when those Mercedes posted up times a full second faster than the Ferraris. Croft and Brundle were just like "awwww s***************************t". I think people were thinking that if Mercedes had been sandbagging, we'd hav...

And with that qualifying session, what better scenario for the reject podcast to return!

Change it back to the way it was, forget this weekend ever happened, and move on.

After seeing them all out on the qualifying, the Renault stands out the most in my opinion

and that's usually a good thing

Possibly unpopular, but I'm entirely for this. The drivers appear to have a lot more work on their hands, especially in terms of strategies in the sessions that count Tyre strategies, when they reckon other people are going to come in, it will be much more at the discretion of the driver as to how t...

All I can say to this is Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh Booooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

And just as you post that, it appears di Resta has been hired as the Williams reserve driver for this year. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/123241 I like how articles like this point out that his predecessor was Sutil, who got little to nothing out of the job last season. However, in di ...

inb4 Nicholas Hamilton comes to every race and his opinion is asked after every incident and event involving his brother, because we've seen this all before because the main team is LITERALLY JUST THE BBC TEAM WITH A FEW OTHER PEOPLE ROTATING IN AND OUT.

It gives some variation, I'll give it that. The more variation (sensible, mind) the better, usually.
