Grand Prix Rejects

1991 produced some very pretty cars in my opinion.

Gaston Mazzacane? I'm pretty sure that livery is from an ABF truck. From what I've found, only five F1 drivers have participated in "Formula Truck"; Chico Serra, Gaston Mazzacane, Cristiano da Matta, Christian Fittipaldi, and Alex Caffi. Of those five drivers, only Mazzacane and Fittipaldi...

Well, I was about to suggest Christian Fittipaldi. Now I'm stumped.

1. BMW
2. Michelin

I wonder what would've happened had "Half" Schumacher and his elder brother raced each other as teammates...

AAAAAAND it's official! An happy guy I am! It is good to see Honda back as engines suppliers, their natural form! It's going to be interesting to see whether Honda can actually produce a competitive engine, though, under the new regulations - Honda may have been competitive in the past when it came...

Hehehehehehehe.

I do prefer the sound of "McLaren-Honda" to "McLaren-Mercedes."

These things would probably be quicker over a race distance than that crapbox Williams

A Bugatti Type 35B to be precise.

It's somewhat reminiscent of Ronspeak.

This one's probably been asked already, but I was wondering...

What if Williams had kept Button on for 2001 instead of opting for Montoya?

Still, four stops in a normal, dry race, even on a high-degradation circuit like Catalunya, is a bit too much. Nevertheless, I see no credible reason for the invective directed at Pirelli. For one, their development process is severely hampered by the simple fact that they don't have access to a mod...

Starting to feel slightly giddy with excitement.

Fernandes F1. Remember where you read it first.

Virgin Fernandes F1?

I love Sniff Petrol.

Mercedes. At this rate, I feel we are going to be treated to the world's longest openwheel car train at Monaco. Until they box, that is. Honourable mentions to: Sauber's pitstop for Hulkenberg. Webber with another bugger of a start. At least, his four-stop was intentional, aggressive, and well-exec...

Vettel - 7 - Not Vettel at his best, but far from his worst. Webber - 7 - Webber drove well to secure fifth. Alonso - 10 - Absolutely incredible. I wasn't expecting Alonso to win, but his drive to victory and the concomitant response from the crowd just made the weekend for me. Fernando Alonso at hi...

This could be nothing but it could make a huge difference!

I'm pretty sure it passed scrutineering.

1. Ricciardo. I'm gradually becoming more and more impressed. A points finish for STR is nothing to scoff at.
2. Gutierrez. Mexican drivers seem to respond to media vitriol incredibly well.

Well, I wasn't expecting them to win the race, but converting a front-row lockout into 6th and 12th is just...

Nominating Mercedes AMG F1 for Reject of the Race.

just checked the formula1 website for quaifying, and it turns out that Massa and Gutierrez are dropped 3 places for impeding. I can see Gutiarrez being dropped for blocking, but why Massa as well? anyway, this means that a sauber will now start behind a caterham this time... heres the results from ...

Auuggghh Jenson. Abysmal weekend for McLaren so far. Here I was hoping that they'd turn up with a 'B-spec' package similar to what Ferrari concocted last year that had been so instrumental in propelling their car forwards. Massive upgrade package. Still experiencing correlation issues. Still over a ...

Hello everyone, My name is Kevin. I'm a university student from Toronto, Canada. I've been watching Grand Prix since the 1999 Australian GP. I stumbled across F1 rejects while procrastinating over an essay a couple months back. I figured it'd be best to stop lurking and start being a little active h...
