Grand Prix Rejects

I almost missed this because it wasn't titled "Get Ready for...The Palmer Party!" or something to that effect. Anyway, my Palmer story is from Hungary 2016, a race for which my partner and I were in the stands at the final corner. We'd eagerly anticipated Palmer's upcoming 10th place finis...

So, in a live Q&A session on facebook, Esteban Gutiérrez seemed pretty sure of himself. When asked if he was staying at Haas another year, his answer went like this That is...a...very...interesting question...*Grins from ear to ear* I know where I'm going. I know what I'm doing, but I can't say ...

Truly, we are blessed! The Reject show will go on against all odds, logic and reason! Isn't that what we like to do here?

sw3ishida

Could be worse. Could be an Aston Villa fan and have nothing to complain about but the state of your own team.

...Maybe that's why I'm so delighted with F1 so far this season. Because I've already seen the sporting embodiment of "dreadful".

sw3ishida

Kind of a shame too, since things seemed to have been set up, based on these pictures taken by a friend in Moscow on Saturday. I guess it's a lesson to not take these things for granted.

Until we see him again, Vandoorne's single point will remain on the board as "the little point that could".

Wasn't Gaston Mazzacane notoriously lacking in English-speaking, too? Or he was at least a weak speaker of English

Looks kind of like a pickaxe to me, actually...

'Italian Driver' - which one?! Marco Apicella? Luca Badoer? Guido Dacco? Me? Someone explained that the rights for using Badoers name were with Ferrari, and Ferrari had an exclusivity contract with another model manufacturer. They should've gone the Formula 1 97 way and renamed him "Driverone ...

This really belongs in the YouTube thread, but I have to spew over this guy , who at the moment is one of the top F1 gamers out there. Even though some of his stuff is entertaining, I absolutely hate his style and attitude when doing his videos. So he's doing this challenge where he has to survive ...

Being the relative infant that I am at the young age of 20, I think I can very much say that I have a lot of respect for someone like Daniil Kvyat, who is mere months older than I am, and that also carries over to the likes of Max Verstappen. That said, I also have a lot of respect for the likes of ...

Can someone explain to me why George Lucas wished everybody a Happy New Year when he walked out onto the podium? Surely he wasn't referring to the new academic year, was he? Honestly, I just thought it was a joke about all the ticker tape and ribbons being thrown around. Maybe I'm completely wrong ...

sw3ishida

It's just kind of one of those things that's just there. My reaction was "Okay, one less name in the rumour mill" before immediately moving on.

sw3ishida

1- Romain Grosjean

2- Sergio Pérez. I don't know why, but it seems every time he starts to look like he's falling behind his teammate, or just generally out of form, he always pulls out something like this. Makes me wish it happened more often, but it's entertaining when it does.

sw3ishida

Can't see past Williams. They were disappointing anyway, then colour un-coordination happened.

Whilst having a nice picnick with lots of edams.

Sounds like an impressive Venturi if you ask me

What can be said to do him justice, other than saying what everyone else has? The man whose drive in May 2014 pretty much saved his team, and it's a tragedy that he's now gone, but fortunately not forgotten. At least now we have some definitive closure on the incident and Jules can rest in peace, wh...

Teammates taking one another out of the race? Sounds pretty rejectful to me. Can't see past Lotus for this one.

1. Pérez
2. Kvyat

Couldn't help but laugh at the Marshals. It's the kind of rejectfulness that added some comedy to a rather dull race

I heard that too! So it's not just that I haven't escaped the 90s!

sw3ishida

I think I agree with the general view here, but Marcus Ericsson. What else is there to offer for that kind of retirement?

sw3ishida

1. Sebastian Vettel- Rosberg issued a challenge in Melbourne, Ferrari answered "Challenge accepted!" And man did they deliver

2. Max Verstappen- Got into some real battles and presented himself well by coming out on top

sw3ishida

1. Felipe Nasr

2. Carlos Sainz

sw3ishida

I can't really see past it being McLaren. Button being the only driver not to score in an 11 car finish will be extremely disappointing for them and shows just how far behind expectations they are after all the early excitement about their switch to Honda.

I'd imagine it was understood. Just reject-based maths takes priority as we aim to take one joke as far as possible, before moving onto the next one.

And why so many laps behind the safety car? Get going already!

Add Heidfeld to this post and it's like a compilation at all the rejectfulness for these first 9 laps

sw3ishida

Awful to hear. Hopefully all the good people there find a place elsewhere. It's a huge shame and very sad

sw3ishida

No idea, but that threw me off too. But there's also this that's appeared. I'm no expert in Italian, but I think they're going with the story too http://sport.ilmessaggero.it/motorsport/formula1/alonso_ormai_ha_deciso_il_prossimo_anno_correr_amp_agrave_per_la_mclaren_honda/993349.shtml

Actually I forgot that as well. Maybe Perez for that move itself, though given that it saved Marussia's 9th in the standings it might be hard to give him RotR for that! And that's the reason why he likely won't get RotR. It was a sacrifice for the greater good of keeping Marussia in 9th. But on a d...

1. Grosjean- I was disappointed with how things went after his collision with Vergne, but he really impressed me. Especially with that middle stint where he seemed to just slice past everyone. A nice surprise 2. Vettel- After that kind of a terrible start to the race, good on him for coming back and...

Any thoughts on this? I mean, it should go without saying that Caterham could have done without more complications.
