Grand Prix Rejects

I'll pull out the Irony meter here a bit using only the current 2009 teams BMW - Plantronics, Ray-Ban, and Dax Pomade. I mean, come on, BMW road car drivers all use those products! Brawn - Someone already mentioned Brawny paper towels, and I simply can not beat that. Ferrari - how about the FIA them...

"How I Improved the Hiockenheimring" by Hermann Tilke "Coming Up With Fake Book Titles that Don't Contain Hockenheim and Herman Tilke in Them" by F1 Rejects Posters I'll take the ribbing on Hockenheimring - that was a fat finger on my part - point taken, post corrected. But, Her...

I'm going to go out on a limb... Adiran Newey - Three of the four cars he was responsible for designing did not finish the race. One due to brake failure, two likely due to safety reasons. Not only that, but the car that did finish had all sorts of bits fly off it.. Diffuser... Mirror... Speed TV - ...

Renault.

For proving that only Flavio's driver's can crash out before the 1st lap finishes and that they still can't put a tire on properly.

Flavio Briatore. For proving that you can still have your team excluded from the next race - even when you leave the race early.

I vote for Ferrari. Worst start since 1981 is worthy of ROTR in China.

Piquet gets a close second by going through three noses in one race. Viva Nelsinho!

It does take a special person to run over two people in pit lane and get punched in the helmet by said pit crew, doesn't it?

Heikki Kovalainen - clearly. He hasn't completed a lap of a race in 2009! Two in a row clearly gives him my Reject of the Race status.

-Road America /Elkhart Lake WI: This is one of the tracks that lost out on the merger of IRL and Champ Cars by not having its feature event anymore. But F1 is probably not too keen on hiding in the woods of Wisconsin. And at 6.5 kilometers, it's somewhat too long for Bernie's taste. RA is a beautif...

Dr. Jack Miller- I'll let this one horror story speak volumes. During an IRL race, he kept flicking the killswitch in his car and told the pitcrew there were electrical problems with the car... Man, I forgot about the "racing dentist". The car did look cool though with that Crest sponsors...

I gotta say Lewis / McLaren there - especially with the whole "oh, I don't remember that" bit with the stewards.
