Grand Prix Rejects

Pastor Maldonado - I found it nice to see the spirit of De Cesaris back in F1. To get penalised for ignoring blue flags is both rare, incredibly stupid and quite amusing - added colour to a largely colourless race.

The full Sky Sports treatment - What does that mean? Firework displays like they use to have at half time in the early days of their football coverage? Misogyny amongst its pundits and presenters? Gormless ex-drivers as pundits? Hairy handed presenters talking about themselves in the third person? S...

I'm fairly sure I heard him on Test Match Special (English radio cricket commentary if you don't know) giving us the county scores during the lunch interval of one of the days in the England/Sri Lanka test series. From F1 to lower league football and a 10 minute stint on TMS. At least he's found his...

I thought Gilles Simon played tennis rather than helped design F1 cars.

Those side-wings that were around for a while in 1997/98 and which popped up again at Monaco in 2001. They were Ann Widdecombe ugly and I remember Alesi in Argentina 98 having his little side-wing destroyed by an airline in the pitlane. Unsafe and about as aesthetically pleasing as seeing your Nan n...

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but Raul Bosel? Wasn't he an F1 driver circa 1983? Boesel? 82 and 83 with March and Ligier, good choice! The only thing I ever remembered him for was he always had a butterfly on his car. I guess it was related to a sponsor but.... He was in Champ Cars in the ...

1) Button - Took the Burn From The Stern to new levels, fantastic performance. 2) The BBC - To talk crap for two hours with nothing happening and with a large percentage of their audience people annoyed that the Antiques Roadshow wasn't on was fairly heroic. I've struggled with a three minute presen...

On D'Ambrosio, Timo Glock said on the BBC the Virgin team had put a full wet setup on the car. Virgin probably argued that if they had put a dry setup on the car D'Ambrosio would have been quick enough, and that in a wet race they'll have more than enough pace to justify qualifying for the race. On ...

Craig Pollock is not a guy I trust to provide with a successful and reliable product. He got given the biggest budget in F1 history at BAR, a World Champion driver and couldn't lead the team to a single point. Funny though that was and great for Minardi and for us, that should never happened. He mad...

Practically everything that hapened in today's Moto GP race was rejectful - utterly chaotic and wonderful.

Seeing Kobayashi basically powersliding the car round the track in Q1 was fantastic to watch, he's one of the few things that make me genuinely excited about watching Formula 1.

Shizuka wrote:Why did almost EVERY sentence of the five drivers start with "Yeah" in the press conference?

It fills time and adds length to short answers. Formula 1 drivers and footballers are the worst for cliche ridden, uninformative answers to questions from the press.

John Wilkes Booth was the guy who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Any links to be made there? Probably not.

I think AndreaModa is referring to things like football and cricket which are pre-dominantly shown on Sky , which you have to pay (I think) 30 pound a month to sign up to, or on ITV where you have simply appalling commentators and pundits. Sports coverage on the BBC is certainly not as good as it us...

Henrique wrote:Liuzzi says he's really close to getting the HRT seat. Bullshit or not?

Probably means he's close to buying a seat with "HRT" written on it off ebay. Not sure it means an actual race seat, HRT race drives are something I'm not sure exists. Similar to USF1 or Stefan F1 race seats.

The BBC fell for that? Good grief. Its bad enough falling for something the Onion produces or for one of Chris Morris's spoofs, but to believe that article was real is laughable and makes me think someone did that for a bet. I'd publish that stuff as real if you paid me well enough for it. Btw, the ...

The only teenagers who like Linkin Park in my experience are middle class types who like them because they think they're rebellious and alternative, the sort of people who have no interest in football and never turn up for PE lessons. Not the sort who are going to watch Formula 1. On this 1980's the...

The Pixies were the best though, they seriously did rock. Nirvana basically ripped them off and sold millions of records as a result.

Taio Cruz and David Guetta - kiss my arse. I hate modern music and I'm only 18. Adults are supposed to hate modern music.

The 1992 Portuguese Grand Prix was four days before the day I was born, remembered for that Berger/Patrese accident that nearly wiped out most of the Estoril paddock.

I share my birthday with one Jean-Denis Deletraz though, which is just superb.

Recently in the UK we've had a lot of snow and this made the roads and pavements incredibly icy and slippery for a week or two. When walking I would be constantly looking for the bits of pavement and road that provided the most grip. The outside line where rubbish and general detritus builds up was ...

Autosport are reporting that Paul Di Resta and Nico Hulkenburg will be at Force India for 2011. Vijay Mallya wants to get rid of Liuzzi and is tired of Sutil making overtures to bigger teams, so he'll get the chop as well. Surprising move, though makes more sense the more I think about it. Sutil to ...

I second Mario's comments. Knightsbridge is the sort of place where three bedroom flats go for over a million quid, where the term "Chelsea tractor" comes from, and is filled with rich business people and rich actors and actresses. People wearing £200,000 of jewellery is no surprise at all.

Watching David Lynch films has this effect on you, honestly.

Who wants a robot? I want to see my sportsmen lose their minds and scream every profanity there is in Spanish, after watching his championship fade for 40 laps. As much as I want to hear my sportsmen choke back the tears of triumph. Be mortal first, a sportsman second. I'm on that line of thought a...

If Webber leads a Red Bull 1-2 in Abu Dhabi, he wins the title. The massive question now is whether this will happe, whether he will get any help.

That would be brain meeting bullet, never mind the foot.

Listen carefully and you can hear Pastor Maldonado gently weeping to the tune of some Whitney Houston break-up song. No way is Hulkenburg leaving Williams after that.

Oh, please, Massa do it, let Alonso through. Arresting Massa, especially if they do it during the podium ceremony, would be awesome ... for Interlagos. The TV ratings would explode, ensuring the future of the Interlagos race for the next ten years and I would laugh about it for the next twenty. Thi...
