Grand Prix Rejects

I agree with you, KERS is a waste of time and money, cost-cutting my arse.

Olivier Beretta was very successful in sportscars wasn't he.

''It's my surname for a reason'' by Scott Speed

P.S. This is very similar to Scenes we'd like to see from Mock the Week.

They said they intend to "listen to the wishes of the fans, including offering lower prices for spectators worldwide", so they'll probably choose something hip, like Formula Ultra or Formula X. Even though i'm a Williams fan, I'd probably go and watch this breakaway series, especially if ...

The reason the name is so long is because the initials send a message of what the 8 teams think of the FIA.

AFAIC, a continuation of an entry is the same team. But oh well. Edited to add: Has Giancarlo Fisichella ever been Reject of the Year? He was 2nd on the 2008 Reject of the Year Podium. He was very high in the 2001 and 2004 rankings and he'd be in the top 5 in my 2000 rankings. To be fair he's never...

Nah, the Red Bulls, Toro Rossos, Renaults and Toyota lose points for the shark fin covers. The best-looking car on the grid - in a year of drop-dead gorgeous weaponry - is easily the Brawn BGP-001. I'm not a fan of the Red Bull-esque nosecone fingers: I'd say either the BGP001, VJM02, or the FW31, ...

Kudos.

Verstappen at Monaco, he was hoping his gamble would pay off, he retired at Ste.Devott corner on Lap 1.

I hope I'm not stealing Jamie and Enoch's thunder here, but 2009 marks F1 Rejects' tenth year, and such a milestone deserves recognition in a thoroughly Rejectful way: the biggest Reject of the past ten years! Now, this is going to play out like the 'Your Reject of the Race' threads: you have to no...

The problem is that we Buttoneers - the ones who have been with him since Square One - often get lumped into the same bracket as Jensationalists. Agreed, but admit it, you thought he was crap in 2007 & 2008, no? Oh, absolutely. That didn't stop me from looking for his name first on the timing s...

Personally, I'd go for an experienced driver who has raced a good few Grands Prix like Sato, Klien, Liuzzi or Davidson. I would also go for a young, promising GP2 driver like Di Grassi, Zuber, Petrov or Grosjean. Bruno Senna will be a good bet as well. A mix of youth and experience in a team is usua...

Yeah, his GP2 team did win the championship last year, so he has enough success in lower formulae.

[quote="Captain Hammer"]
Campos Meta 1 - good because they've got experience in GP2 and is owned by a former driver.

Also, the former driver is a reject

I know this may be frowned upon but I have decided to start a provisional Reject of the Year Podium. The early contenders are: Nelson Piquet Jr Kazuki Nakajima BMW Sauber Mclaren Mercedes Sebastien Bourdais Ferrari are a possibility but have probably shaken off chances of the ROTY Podium by now My P...

There were great overtaking action those years, Piquet over Senna in 1986, Hakkinen over Brundle in 1992. Too bad it became an outdated race track. About the only good thing about the track is it's dubious honor of being the debut track for HWNSNBMs first F1 adventure. A "great" race at H...

Beat me to it, I was going to say Gene. I can't think of anyone else.

Excellent video, I posted this on F1Gamers before and was going to post it on this forum but I got beaten to it.

That's the first time 2 teammates have been on the ROTY Podium. I wouldn't have put Nakajima in 11th. At first he was alright but after Monaco he was quite frankly a disappointment.

McLaren Mercedes haven’t scored in the last three races. That hasn’t happened since 2004, when David Coulthard and Kimi Raikkonen finshed out of the top eight in Spain, Monaco and Canada. So reject should be MCLAREN ............. You mean Europe, Kimi and DC finished 5th and 6th respectively at Can...

[quote="Captain Hammer"]Barrichello is the obvious choice, but I'm going to take an easy shot here and nominate Giancarlo Fisichella for yet another early exit from Istanbul. quote] Fisichella's early exit wasn't his fault, he retired because of brake troubles. It has to be Barrichello, an...

But what about all those new teams submitting entries? Surely there aren't that much better drivers around, so I figure one of them could hire Pantano, maybe for one year or something. He would fit the pattern of Lola perfectly well. And if they indeed start out with a competent car, he could perfo...

I would love to see Jordan, Minardi, Sauber, Arrows and Ligier return. But I would want Jordan to be competitive like back in 1999. Tyrrell, Brabham and Lotus would be good as well, just so there are about 19 or 20 teams again.

F1Rejects closed this section so I thought I'd open a folder for it, I thought i'd suggest Tarquini, a very talented driver who gave AGS one of their two points, he deserved better machinery.

I hope so, as long as the diffuser doesn't get banned, the Brawn BGP001 should be as dominant as the Ferrari F2002 or F2004.

Ide or Deletraz, can't decide between the two.
