Grand Prix Rejects

Ferrari had a bad weekend, two power unit related issues fir Raikkonen, one of them in the race dropping him out of 4th place. The car has huge problems with tyre wear, and with the cool conditions and aero-heavy track to boot, they were simply off the pace, the third fastest car in the race. Riccia...

The thread closes at the end of third practice, so if you're in Central Europe it will be around lunchtime on Saturday.

Cool, thanks. I'll submit mine at the end of FP2, hopefully.

Magny-Cours did give us some boring races. Fantastic layout though.

#WSRwatch Mathieu Vaxiviere continues his dominance of the Aragon track in recent times with P1 in the opening test session here.

...possibly being a little harsh on Canamasas when Mitch Evans did essentially the same thing?? Either driver could've avoided it ..to me it was just one of those things , and there was a lot of 'squeezing ' going on elsewhere in the field ( and in F1) , but that does add to the excitement. And boy...

The fact that Chilton was crushed by the Emirati Ed Jones, who has no prior experience in America Sorry to be nitpicky here, but I wouldn't say one stab at the American GP means that Chilton has a noteworthy amount more. Well no, I'm not comparing their experience in America. I'm saying that while ...

Yes, and I think that was my point, that the stewards erred.

The fact that Chilton was crushed by the Emirati Ed Jones, who has no prior experience in America and was only racing in F3 last year, speaks volumes.
Also, seeing as Max is no longer in F1, shouldn't this be shifted to the van de Poele Forum? Or the Deletraz Forum, since Chilton is a reject?

Once Grosjean (which had lot more speed turning in) was already side-by-side and had deserved his space on the outside, yes..Perez should've properly conceded, imo Yeah, sorry, but I disagree entirely with that notion. You can't just expect the guy on your inside to give way and concede the positio...

Sadly, with Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari's junior teams fully stocked up as well, there's really no place for him to go. Merc might consider him, but I think they're focusing on Wehrlein as a long-term prospect now. Things look grim. I know Mercedes must feel that they have the current driver pair...

I'm probably in the minority, but I like this design. It's got a livery that reject teams would be proud of

Huge kudos to Stram..I mean Biscione, and Nuppiz. Glad to see old faces again.

Some news on Sauber. 1. They have announced a partnership with Hewlett-Packard. 2. They are rumoured to be using a blue and yellow livery, in deference to the Banco do Brasil sponsorship brought in by Nasr. 3. The C34 launches on the 30th. I get the feeling it will look pretty close to this: http:/...

The new Verstappen?

The guy also topped four out of the six post-season test sessions he participated in, I think.

I'm actually reasonably happy with system. Yes, there are some talented drivers who do/would have missed out based on this system, but what I like is that there is a clearer career ladder for a young driver and key markers which drivers must prove themselves against. It places emphasis on results r...

Louis Deletraz lost his chance to make it a nervous finale for eventual champion Ben Barnicoat when the final race of the 2014 Formula Renault 2.0 NEC season was called off due to fog. Deletraz was starting fourth while Barnicoat was only fifteenth on the grid.
Such is the way of the things.

He beat Rafa Marciello in 2012 in the F3 Euroseries, and he was an F3 rookie, while Marciello had done Italian F3 before that. He'd also won the ADAC Formel Masters in 2011, beating Emil Bernstorff.

And it looks like, after the practise times, Sainz didn't have the pace at all during both races. Obviously, it looks like Verstappen getting the Toro Rosso driver for next year has taken it's toll on Sainz's motivation: at a certain point in race 2, he actually had a train of cars following him.. ...

Sauber actually had 4 podiums in 2012 (3 for Perez - Malaysia, Canada and Italy, 1 for Kobayashi - Japan). And I REALLY don't think Massa deserves to be in there - his season is very much reminding me of Sebastian Bourdais in 2008 - Vettel got all the slices of luck, he got none. And Massa did beat...

Should pit windows come back to F1?
