Reject moments that never happened
This is basically a thread for things that you could imagine Reject teams or drivers doing, but unfortunately never happened.
For Example: A reject team withdrawing from a flyaway round because one or more of their cars got damaged in freight.

I think reality can be more weird than imagination really. For instance, sitting out of a test because some car parts got stuck in the customs office of the country where the team are having said test. Which, coincidently, is the same country where the team comes from...

Surely no driver would ever do this! I mean, Kimi not going to Australia for the WRC last year because it was too far away, whole different ball game, right?

Some driver dissatisfied with the political regime of a given country stops the car in the middle of the track as a way of protesting, perhaps?

How about having to withdraw from a GP because the parts can't get delivered due to a lorry (truck?) strike? To quote the website:

All managed to make it, except - you guessed it - Andrea Moda. Sassetti's team got stuck in the blockade and simply never showed up.

Two drivers from the same team seemingly having to miss a race on separate occasions due to severe toothache, only for the team principal to reveal his hitherto unexpected dental skills and perform root canal surgery, returning his charges to health and racing fitness.
...Yes, this has happened!

This would be funny; a driver somehow leaves his team radio on, and the world feed picks up the driver singing Dani California to himself. Cue camera to pitwall of team members with big grins on...and much laughter in the press conference.
Or a driver ends up with a sudden hay-fever attack, sneezes then bins the car...if only.

I wonder if some hard to explain blunders were caused by sneezing... It takes some odds but it might be possible. Coulthard and the pit-lane incident, anyone?

I suppose the most rejectful (and impossible) moment that could happen to a driver, could be to be lapped by Deletraz...

Re: Reject moments that never happened
A track gets resurfaced. Tyre manufacturer A consequently brings wrong tyre compound. Tyre manuacturer B's tyres are ok.. but they only supply 6 cars on the grid cutting a long story short all of the cars using T.M. A pull in at the end of the parade lap leaving 6 cars on the grid.... the race goes ahead.... nah thats just too preposterous

Its interesting because I often suffer from it too during the summer, yet with my helmet on when riding, I've never sneezed or had any problems with it. It's bizarre!

This just proves that speed cures almost everything,unlike Webber throwing up in his helmet at Fuji...

There was Inoue and Heidfeld,but I 've never seen a Safety car take out the field.
However,in one of the first races the safety car was experimented in,1973 Canadian I do believe,safety car driver Eppe Weitzes(?) picked up the wrong car,screwing up timing sheets and causing some people to lap everybody by default.

It would be great to have a F1 race with snow! Unluckily it's almost impossible.
