Grand Prix Rejects

When is the last time someone has gotten a penalty for going too fast under yellows? Because, and I hate to sound callous, but you really shouldn't be losing control of your car in a double yellow flag zone.

I'm going to say that the whole "Why do it on lap 2" thing is a bit overblown. I think Nico knows as well as anyone that sometimes, in a Grand Prix, you get one chance to pass someone in a car as fast as yours, and if you can't do it then, it's over.

So this is now the second team that Hamilton's been with that has descended into acrimony and chaos. Both with a teammate who has never been known with having poor relationships with teammates before. Perhaps Hamilton is simply a poor teammate?

Daniel's a fantastic racer, and unlike a certain other Red Bull driver, he tends to do interesting things on the way to winning Grands Prix. I hate Red Bull but can't fault the lad's talent.

Lewis has alleged that Nico has admitted to deliberately causing the accident. If true, I nominate Nico Rosberg . If not, I nominate Lewis Hamilton As happens with Twitter, this is apparently not quite true- Nico said he refused to back out to prove a point, which is something different entirely.

Three, three, three wins from lower than third on the grid for Daniel. What a driver.

Daniel now has two career wins starting from lower than third on the grid. Sebastian has zero.

I don't like the "double points" rule at all but at the end of the day the scoring system is the same for everyone and an equal opportunity to succeed has been provided. I mean it is better than the "Only X scores of Y rounds count toward the championship" scoring system that ma...

I have to wonder if Vettel, for many fans, is becoming the symbol for a period in Formula One that is likely not to go down in history as one of it's brighter spots. I wonder if the preceeding period had anything to do with it? If we take the period from 2004 (the last year of Schumacher's multiple...

I have to wonder if Vettel, for many fans, including, to disclose things, myself, is becoming the symbol for a period in Formula One that is likely not to go down in history as one of it's brighter spots. Granted, the first few years of the post-2009 era weren't bad, but the KERS/DRS/Pirelli package...

I think the main reason this F1 season has been so distressing to people is that the current regs, with the wearing tires, and the KERS, and the DRS, and silly tracks that have been designed to suit all these things, along with the stringent rules that lead to identical-looking F1 cars- all of these...

Yeah, for a year or two, but not a lot after that.

Other than being arguably the second best driver of 2012, you mean?

Waltrip gets a bit of a bad rap- he's hardly a legend, but he frequently preformed well in terrible teams in the 90s.

Helio Castroneves doesn't deserve the title in this season. He absolutely does not- I actually had RHR pegged as the driver of the year around Toronto-ish, but his performances seemed to fall off a cliff right around the time he was rammed from behind by Sato at Pocono. Either way, Dixon's second-h...
