Grand Prix Rejects

My ROTR goes to Gutierrez, not only for his terrible crash, but also for being knocked out in Q1 in a car which his teammate took into Q3, and generally looking slow.

Dishonourable mention for Webber's crew, and Williams

OK start again:

Stirling Moss to Lewis Hamilton without naming any other British drivers except those two.

Moss - Trintignant Cooper late 50's

1) Maldonado in Spain
2) Rosberg in China (just because its Rosberg winning a race and escaping his seemingly Heidfeld-esque fate)

If you asked me (and i'm sure a few others) after 15 races who would win this award, then Massa would have won this award hands down! However, his last few races rescued him from ROTY, but his appalling record and results for the first 15 races definately deserves a mention. For me, the winner is Me...

Unless Alonso is behind him..

But i really hope Turey makes a return for just one more season. Although the fans stayed away in droves, and the country has absolutely no interest or heritage in motor racing, IMO it is Tilke's best circuit for some years.

Pre-qualifying

coloni_subaru

A few potentials out there today, with the entire Williams team, the Lotus team, Di Resta, the stewards to name a few. Will go with Di Resta as he was shamefully slower than his team mate again, and ended up in the wall from a point scoring position.

2nd Hulkenberg
1st Petrov

HM: The race itself, Schumacher, Pic

coloni_subaru

It's a real pity it all had to end like this for Schumi, and however much it gets dressed up, you can't help but feel he was booted out of the way for Hamilton, too late to find another competative seat.. For many fans of the sport, especially the younger generation, he is going to be remembered as ...

coloni_subaru

Actually, I'd quite like to see a DTM driver coming over to F1 in 2013. Don't know who, though. And that would be Filipe Albuquerque. This is my perfect grid for 2013: RBR: Sebastian Vettel Lewis Hamilton Hamilton ditches that Mercedes nonsense and comes to a place where he can fight for wins. Ferr...

coloni_subaru

Hi guys, not sure if something like this has been done before, but i was thinking about all the 'pay' drivers and 'old hands' that are floating around F1 at the moment. If money was no factor, who would you have driving the 24* seats in F1 next year? I will make my list using drivers who i realistic...

Mercedes as predicted, even worse than we all now come to expect of this joke of a manufacturer! What must Hamilton really be thinking?

Dishonourable mentions to Sauber and Di Resta

coloni_subaru

If I had to add 3, then Brno, Imola and a roving European Grand Prix. Would be very happy to see the demise of Valencia, Bahrain and either Ab Dhabi/Singapore (not both as i understand the marketing importance for F1) Also I would be happy to see China or India disappear, but they are two huge poten...

An epic list of possiblities for this award today! ROTR: Webber - was absolutely shocking off the line, probably would have failed to overtake the safety car if he tried, and would have been smashed by his team mate who started in the pitlane.. Honourable mentions: Mercedes (this is now a given nomi...

coloni_subaru

A few candidates here! Vettel for finishing on the podium from the pitlane is amazing, whatever happened with the safety cars etc. And he was going to finish comfortably ahead of Webber- who started 2nd! Kimi for winning in a Lotus Maldonado for a very good weekend in a Williams: maxed out the car's...

coloni_subaru

Although the race wasn't the finest of the year I don't really think the track is to blame: of all the Tilke abominations, this is one of the best IMO, and also the drivers like it (not the fans though judging by the empty seats..) My ROTR is Kovalainen, for being all over the place most of the week...

coloni_subaru

1) The Hulk (again)

That is all.

coloni_subaru

Lots of options today, but here goes:

3rd Mercedes for being about as slow as they possibly can be
2nd Williams for being even slower than Mercedes
1st Kamui for probably cementing his departure from Sauber (and where is left for him to go?)

coloni_subaru

1) Toro Rosso
2) The Hulk

Perhaps we can start a league for the most beautiful/ugly new cars? My vote would be Mclaren for most beautiful so far (not surprising..) And if i could actually look at any of the other cars without being forced to avert my eyes, i suppose the Ferrari is the ugliest.. Also spare a thought for Minic...

coloni_subaru

My nominees: Massa: Another awful season, completely outpaced by his teammate, tied up in lots of on-track incidents (some not his fault) and ultimately has never made the top 5 in any single race!! Doesn't deserve to keep his seat, but amazingly has for another year at the most! Williams: What ever...

coloni_subaru

The first race i remember watching in full was 1993 Australia (i remember staying up all night with my uncle, pretty exciting for a 7 year old!) which i suppose is a good start as it was Senna's last victory.. The last Grand Prix i didn't see was Japan 1994, so thats 17 full seasons now! First race ...

coloni_subaru

Except the teams at the back of the grid, i think this year will hardly have a silly season, with all teams too nervous to take a risk Next year will be chaos.. So here is my prediction.. Red Bull: Vettel Webber Mclaren: Hamilton Button Ferrari: Alonso Massa Mercedes: Rosberg Schumacher Renault: Kub...

coloni_subaru

Having just got back from Nurburgring, firstly i would like to nominate the weather for being so incredibly cold: has there ever been such a cold weekend at a Grand Prix? But honestly, this weekend the nominees must be Chandhok or Williams, Karun being completely inept, and Williams completely invis...

coloni_subaru

Where is Ralph Firman?

coloni_subaru

Here's my contribution: Anthony Davidson is massively over-rated. Massa has never been the same since Hungary 09. Webber needs to retire to save the last little bit of his worthless and talentless dignity. Eddie Jordan needs to bathplug off. Not sure about Davidson, i don't think we saw him enough ...

coloni_subaru

I'm sure i remember hearing that Guy Ligier played rugby at international level, but as for the year, no idea..
Complete guess, 1958?

coloni_subaru

My votes are:
Ickx
Clark
Senna (but only just)
Kobayashi (normally finishes above where he starts)

coloni_subaru

A difficult round for sure! 1. Schumi vs Rosberg Both have had their great races under pressure (Rosberg 1984 Dallas, 1982 Swiss) (Schumi with too many to count) However, Schumi under the most extreme pressure was (and is) liable to make stupid mistakes, or simply cheat.. (Australia 94, Jerez 97, mo...

coloni_subaru

Ickx (poor Prost for this vote!)
Hill
Piquet
Clark
Senna (poor Hunt on this one!)
Moss
Kobayashi
Kubica

coloni_subaru

A difficult question, probably best if broken down in different caterories such as 'overtaking races', 'everything races', and 'driver races'. For me the best overtaking race is Silverstone 2003, some great moves and Barrichello's day of days. A race with everything involved would be the typical cho...
