I would say that your Hill one-upmanship is pointless, because the race in question was a) a demolition derby, as someone has already cited, but b) nobody has mentioned that Panis in fact let Damon past before the finish for that second lap so that his Prost didn't have the chance to expire on the n...

No matter how cold Jenson's tyres were, you can't deny how clinical that move was. It was super racing instinct and very professional.

Due to the facts that: - The Force India cars are orange, white and green... and - Adam Carroll is looking for an F1 seat... and - Eddie Jordan will soon be ousted from the BBC for his refusal to do anything BUT disagree with everything David Coulthard says... ...the rumours are that Force India wil...

Now wouldn't it be hilarious if Nando won? I think my avatar is highly suitable now that Flavio is a bona fide reject of the paddock. I think the sport has been so overshadowed by controversy that we just need a really good race and a feelgood story to cover up the current (myriad) inadequacies of t...

Why not someone handy and Italian? Liuzzi? Giorgio Pantano? I know they probably don't want a complete rookie in F1, but with Weber close to Ferrari, why not the Hulk? Nico Hulkenburg? Schumi's career ended nicely. He shouldn't want to ruin it now. Him competing in a race would feel so wrong, so out...

He could've paid attention to his braking point. I'm pretty sure Hamilton was to only one to miss his braking point into turn 1 - otherwise he would not have messed up turn 1, clipped Webber, and cut his tyre. Instead, he hit the bump, went into turn 1 too hot, attempted to salvage it, and in the p...

Why are people blaming Raikkonen for Sutil's accident? Kimi made a legitimate passing manoeuver and Sutil understeered into Raikkonen's car. It was a racing incident, nothing more, nothing less. If anything, I'd put the blame more on Sutil for being too cautious into T1 and for not keeping clear of...

Some rejects are so bad as to be unforgettable, like Deletraz or Ide. Some drivers, reject or not, fade into the middle ground, or are memorable through accident or incident, but some are just so uneventfully uninteresting that you just forget about them. In my era, does anyone remember: Franck Mont...

How about Formula 0.5B? And F1 could rename itself Formula 0.5A? And that could signify how each is going to be absolutely shiite separated. Or maybe Formula EA (Emulating America), and then like the Americans, we could watch LMS instead. Or maybe just for both, Formula-te our own downfall. Not very...

Nelson was dejected because Flavio had told him to go and stand facing the wall again..

Max: Sorry, Bernie, paper beats rock.
Bernie: If you're thinking of telling me the rules, the exit's that way!

Bernie: Are you one of my children??

ImissJORDAN

We've seen before that stubborn Americanism doesn't work in F1, so I hope USGP can adapt enough to function properly, if not be somewhat successful. I would love to see all of the current teams bar STR on the grid (I like them, but think it's wrong that they can be a B-Team to Red Bull with virtuall...

I dislike the idea of a two tier series the most. Then the overspender will just be trailing around at the back. I think if the ploy works and all teams adhere to the £40m budget, then this could be a major filip for the series, but all teams need to be on side, otherwise the tiered system will cock...

Ha! I was trying to be realistic. Apparently some people above me weren't trying. Daytona, Sentul, the Nordschleife? The United States is Large enough that 2 GP's are Warranted. Really? Brno (simply because you need one in Eastern Europe..) You do? 1) Australia - Albert Park, Melbourne 2) Japan - Su...

ImissJORDAN, I think you have to understand the political context of those statements. It is in their interest to appear as the injured party and to protest as vehemently as possible about the ruling. Of course they're going to say whatever they can to justify their appeal of the steward's decision...

ImissJORDAN

It was ever thus and ever will be. Get over it. F1 is a sport in which billionaires think of ever more elaborate and devious ways to shaft each other. And every few weeks they take a day off and watch cars go round a circuit. Think of it that way and it makes perfect sense. In this context Tozzi is...

Hmmmm... I think you're right that they produce more turbulent air, but then again, the rear wing endplates and the rear tyres produce most of the turbulent air or 'wake' effect. On a car with ajustable front wing, it's just a question of adjusting the wing earlier than you normally would. Of cours...

ImissJORDAN

Thing is, I quite like it. I feel its much better to have team with some character rather than the Darth Vader-like winning machine of recent years. When Massa when off down the pit lane dragging half a mile of fuel pipes, I thought 'Wow, that's cool'. And this weeks events: trying to burn Kimi to ...

ImissJORDAN

Indeed, it would be nice for a long while to see a champion that wasn't even nearly considered as a future Champion before the first race. Think about Häkkinen. One win (and even that thanks to Villeneuve's "generosity" in Jerez) before the 1998 Season. And we all know what happened that ...

ImissJORDAN

Frankly looks boring. I agree that gradient plays a major role in tilke's tracks. That's why Istanbul Park and Sepang are his two most promising tracks, and why Shanghai is almost a good track, but due to the lack of feature, the very good corners and other pros of the layout are tamed somewhat. Ima...

ImissJORDAN

I don't think there is any point in banning them for next season. Within the next month or two (if you're Force India ), every team on the grid will have one of their own, so there will no inherent advantage to be had. For next year it won't cost any more than normal to design and it doesn't affect...

ImissJORDAN

Unsurprising, and I'm kind of glad, but I think that the FIA should ban them for next season, because frankly they go against the spirit of the rules and possibly detriment racing and close following. All credit to Brawn, Toyota and Williams however, because if there is a loophole, and it can be fea...

ImissJORDAN

Even at the risk of the numbers getting incredibly small (and the decimals getting long), I think the calculation should be weighted by the number of seasons in which the person or inanimate object participated. That might boost the campaign of the FIA stewards, because they participated in every s...

ImissJORDAN

Really, the issue here is the speed at which this was decided. The bad thing is that the stewards didn't have access to Hamilton's radio or post-race interview, which would have allowed the stewards to make the decision on the day, or one day after. Not mid-week! As for the actual decision, I see it...

ImissJORDAN

Incidentally, did you see the interview BBC did with Bernie. He looked a bit frail, I thought. ... I also enjoyed the following bit of commentary, Legard - 'Gosh, he's spun off AGAIN', Brundle, - 'Its a replay Jonathan'. Good race, pity it was cut short. Hah! That was painful. Proof that Legard is ...

ImissJORDAN

Definately Heikki. Australia was very much his own fault, by careering into the back of Barrichello, and if his spin out of Sepang was really his fault (it looked so uncontrolled I would have suspected suspension failure!!) then for his awful starts/laps completed ratio, it's definitely him.

ImissJORDAN

It's how Flav works things out. One sterling driver (Schumi/Alonso), a host of B-Drivers to be support and to highlight the sterling driver's general godlike status. Which, with Schumi and Alonso is fair enough, because neither could tolerate a really good team-mate. Think of Herbert, Barrichello, F...

ImissJORDAN

...okay they'd allow it in NASCAR, but why not F1? For the sake of consistency, they should allow it. Maybe if he was travelling at race speed it'd be totally okay, when the possibilities of more injuries in Villeneuve, Jacques (remember 2001 Australia?) fashion are more likely. For a start, they d...

Not that any of these guys lacked a certain amount of talent, after all, they could all whoop all of our asses, but who do you guys think is the least talented F1 driver ever? I've only had since 2003 to judge, and Yuji Ide sticks out for me. Having read all of the F1 rejects profiles, Deletraz and ...

ImissJORDAN

No adverts is so brilliant.. Lee McKenzie is for a start very pretty, secondly isn't too bad and will get a better rapport with the drivers. She doesn't have the advantage Goodman had of being PR for Jordan. Legard, I'm not sure about. He's somewhat better than James Allen, but is still of the Murra...

They scored 6 points, which according to the F1 Rejects definition of a reject team, qualifies them for reject status. Jones socred that 4th in Zeltweg and 6th at the following race in Italy, while Tambay was 5th behind Jones at Zeltweg. I know literally nothing about the team, but I know one thing:...

ImissJORDAN

aah but i was under the impression that the penalty to Vettel was simply because he carried on driving round with a heavily damaged car and only 3 wheels! The rules clearly state if the car is damaged significantly then the driver must pull over immediately. Really? As far as I could make out, and ...

ImissJORDAN

Regarding the Vettel-Kubica incident, I don't think you can really blame either for the crash. It's a case of them both racing in the last few laps, where you'd expect aggression, but where backing out is not an option. Maybe a bit of co-operation or submission would have served both of them well, b...
