Grand Prix Rejects

No, this does not involve cutting little kid's ballons at Disneyland or anything like that

The game is, someone posts their F1 'dream', and then the next person adds something to ruin that dream. Poster #2 then posts their dream, and so on, and so on....

For example, if I started with 'Romain Grosjean will dominate the Indian Grand Prix', the next person to post could say: 'BUT.....He is disqualified for going 1 mm over the track limits'. They would ten write their dream, and so on, and so on!

The 'dreams' could be about anything and anyone related to F1, past or present, and the replies can be as ludicrous as you like!

I'll start : 'Max Chilton will score a point at the Indian Grand Prix'
