Rantbox
Feeling bitter? Had a bad day? Fancy a rant?
How about climbing F1Rejects' own version of the Hyde Park's soapbox? A cathartic moment, where you get to shout out all the rubbish you would otherwise be inclined to keep to yourself, or at least soften.
Ground rules:
1. One liners are mandatory. If you want to write a long text, contact you local editor for publishing opportunities. Or a lawyer, in case it's your will.
2. Remember the "family website" principle. Sexist, racist and other -ist posts are discouraged, plus the Admins will kick your butt. Just sayin'.
3. Remember Godwin's Law at all times...
3.a. ... and do keep in mind our very own Hughes' Law as well.
4. The audience doesn't get to answer back, only cheer or boo. If you fancy a debate, may I suggest wearing a towel and go re-enacting ancient Greece somewhere else?
5. Make us laugh. Please.
That said, I'll start with my rant of the day:
- Heidfeld should be thankful to Sutil for helping him interrupt the most shameful record of all time.
Come on guys, give it the world!

Re: Rantbox
The record of most consecutive finishes isn't the most shameful record of all time by a long shot; however, the record that is, the most podium finishes without a win, is also held by Heidfeld...
P.S. I'm not sure if this counts as a one liner, because of the semicolon... If it's not, forgive me...

Fisichella's struggles in the Ferrari show a) how awesome Raikkonen is and b) how slow Badoer was.

Bernd Maylander could well win Suzuka if it rains. Its just a shame for him it would be in the Safety Car.

Re: Rantbox
Why can't we rid F1 of these ridiculously tedious street circuits. They are all about the "spectacle" and as a result have rubbish racing.
Re: Rantbox
That Singapore circuit looks more like a Need for Speed track! (Capricorn 2?!?)

Felipe Massa was the most universally-underrated driver in the pit lane.

Re: Rantbox
While talented, Fernando Alonso is over-rated; he hasn't won a race in a straight fight since traction control was banned an I hope that Felipe Massa shows him up if he goes to Ferrari just to stick it to the Spanish media and incessant fans.

Re: Rantbox
Alonso and Massa at Ferrari is a blunder. Remember Nurburgring 07, they just don't get along with each other.
Sorry guys, I had a little outing.
Re: Rantbox
When, O when, will Williams win another race? It would be nice to see Barrichello accomplish it next year, echoes of Patrese doing the same thing with the same team lost after everyone thought he was past it. Not that a double winner this year is past it, exactly...

It's in fact a joint record with Stefan Johansson. Heidfeld does have the record for most 2nd places without a win (8 which is double of Johanssons..)

Re: Rantbox
McLaren and Toyota's form on different tracks baffles me. Can't they just pick a type of track they bloody perform well on?

If anything Kubica deserves the 2nd seat at Ferrari more than Fernando "I'm number 1" Alonso

Nelsinho Piquet shouldn't be allowed to drive anything faster than a golf cart for the rest of his life. Either that, or be employed as a live crash test dummy by Hummer.

Re: Rantbox
Here's hoping that Räikkönen gets an equal treatment at McLaren, then. And that Alonso doesn't b**ch about at Ferrari and break his contract yet again because Massa isn't playing second fiddle enough for him.

Spanish and Brazilian press will tear each other apart now, incensed on by the Italians. And that makes me happy. Ferrari 2010 will be a fun place.

Forget Kimi Raikkonen at McLaren, Robert Kubica deserves a better seat than Renault next year.

Is that the same Kubica that has been out driven by Heidfeld this year?

Re: Rantbox
Time to sort out the aero rules once and for all - no diffusers and single plain front and rear wings please.

On top of that, the homologated wings will probably be made to fit the Ferrari chassis...

Re: Rantbox
I think Barrichello is being treated unfairly by Brawn, if the rumours are true.

Why do I have no more obvious reasons to stand up? It must be a conspiracy!
You break it, I fix it, or vice-versa.
Re: Rantbox
Why is nationality such a big deal in Formula One? Skill should matter more than arbitrary considerations of birthplace, etc.
