Grand Prix Rejects

Cynon

Sergio Perez -- Thanks for giving the whole rest of the grid some damn good looks at the floor of the Red Bull! Lance Stroll -- I can't tell if I want him out of F1 because he's a nepotism baby or if his ineptitude keeps F1 interesting. Honorable Mentions: Haas -- Managing to be shite, but not in a...

Cynon

Ocon -- A morale boost for Alpine given how much they were thrown under the bus by corporate in Miami.

Nyck de Vries -- Decided to not be Nyck de Bris.

Cynon

Zhou Guanyu -- Looked fantastic all weekend long, and the further into the weekend he got, the better he looked.

Lance Stroll -- Proof that, eventually, the blind squirrel will find the acorn.

Cynon

Yuki Tsunoda -- Crew gave him an amazing stop, and 15 seconds later, he binned it.

McLaren -- shite.

Cynon

Mick Schumacher -- Brilliant drive, didn't put a wheel wrong until Seb forgot what mirrors were.

Alexander Albon -- Kept his nose clean while everyone else around him imploded.

Cynon

Aston Martin -- Started from the pit lane due to their own incompetence, Stroll weaved around so much that he should be breathalyzed, and Vettel took himself out by chopping off Schumacher. Very easy call. FIA Stewards Notice Chyrons -- Kept investigating Kevin Magnussen for incidents he wasn't inv...

Cynon

Lando Norris -- Threw away a maiden Grand Prix win by not listening to his engineers. Easy call. I almost shouldn't have to do a #2 vote.

Lance Stroll, and the entire #18 side of the Aston Martin garage -- Stupid driving, stupid tire strategy, stupid everything

Cynon

Bottas -- Burn from the stern was legit.

Williams -- Had promising race pace, even accounting for the retirements.

McLaren's pace wasn't really an improbability, more of an inevitability.

Cynon

The race met my admittedly extremely low expectations (it's bathplugging HUNGARY) quite adequately thank you very much. I have no reason to complain because at least there was some Palmer and GutiGuti goonery going on.

Cynon

This bullshit --

McLaren -- A hydraulic failure on lap 1 and you tell Jenson to stay out on the track? BRILLIANT!

Cynon

Safety Car Start -- I guess Charlie Whiting didn't want Hamilton to lose his home race...
Virtual Safety Car -- DItto.

Cynon

Seems like I'm alone in thinking Hamilton and Rosberg was a racing incident. I was going to add that both were equally to blame but I don't think applying that negativity to the situation was warranted. They tussled and Hamilton came out on top. A great race with Manor scoring too. What's not to li...

Cynon

Pascal Wehrlein -- You beautiful human being, you. Felipe Nasr -- Maybe he's worth something after all...? Didn't vote for Button because Button did what I expected he would do -- make Nando look like crap and brought the car home with a pretty solid result. I do understand why everyone else did vo...

Cynon

Nico Hulkenberg -- A more inept drive has seldom been seen. o_____O Williams -- Valtteri, Wehrlein is faster than you, can you confirm that you understood this message? Red Bull Firesuits -- No. Just no. Nico Rosberg -- You can't pull Lewis Hamilton's moves on Lewis Hamilton! The man knows his own ...

Cynon

Perez -- CHECO!!!
Wehrlein -- He sucks in qualifying but he's a hell of a racer. Shame that he had a brake failure, he was making himself look good on that one stop strategy.

Cynon

1. Bottas
2. Sainz

Scroll up for reasons.

I thought it said a lot about Rossi that he matched and beat Stevens straight out of the gate.... whereas a certain other former Manor driver, who would have won Phoenix if he had talent, regularly got thrashed by Stevens... Rossi was fast all month. Chilton was not. Rossi threw the dice to win the ...

Cynon

Sauber -- Don't collide with your teammate. Doesn't matter who's fault it was, both of them were driving like complete morons all race long.

Jolyon Palmer -- Rain + Paint = All Your Noob are Belong to Us

Cynon

Verstappen
Sainz

The switch of drivers benefited both Verstappen and Sainz and both performed very well in their respected environments.

Cynon

Lewis Hamilton and his Fanbase (which includes the Sky broadcasters) -- Hopeless overtake would never have worked. If Nico did not defend, that still would have resulted in a massive crash. His fanbase is approaching Chicago Cubs-levels of excuse making, and the Sky broadcasters (I watched a Sky fe...

This is a revamp of a previous thread in the Jean-Denis Délétraz Memorial Forum that listed every reject. The purpose of this new list is to denote the drivers and teams that are profiled or not, whether by us or by F1 Rejects. Hopefully this should serve as a future aid for anyone wanting to write...

Cynon

If Grosjean were to compete in a Cup race, would it help him to practice/race in a EuroNASCAR race first? Or a British pick-up truck race? EuroNASCAR has some good drivers but none of them have shown much in North America. The races in that series I have seen are a blast to watch. Those cars don't ...

Cynon

Magnussen -- Only real IIDOTR really.
Bernd Maylander -- Yup.

Cynon

Red Bull -- Kvyat is a moron, Ricciardo is uninspiring, and Toro Rosso blew it, too.
Russian Michael Waltrip, known as Daniil Kvyat -- Hopeless driving effectively giving the title to Mercedes after four races.

That is another possibility - it shares some characteristics with Bahrain, where Manor also performed fairly well, so it might be one of their stronger tracks this season. And, unlike Bahrain, it could also provide wet weather racing. Although come to think of it, if their calling card for an upset...

Cynon

Would you guys do the same or would you not bother and save your money? I'd take them to IndyCar because the governance of IndyCar is more stable than the governance of F1 and the Sauber name would be enough to con attract some suckers drivers and sponsors into joining the next coming of Euromotors...

Cynon

Obviously the best sound was the 10 cylinder engines, because a processional, predictable, boring as shite race is a classic because it happened in 1994 and random bits sprouting from cars makes them attractive, right? I mean, we just have to have 6 million winglets so that when one of them falls of...

Cynon

Clockwork Racing will return with Verna Klein in one of the two cars if she is interested. If Silvia Renaldi is not resigned, then Renaldi will take over the lead driver role at Clockwork Racing with Klein as the second driver.

Cynon

Calderon was the only driver who didn't get slagged off by the broadcasters for attempting a passing move. First time a woman led a lap in F3, stole some headlines...

Good on you, Tatiana Calderon.

Cynon

F1 Rules: Good lord these engine rules are pitiful...
McLaren: Crap.
Grosjean: Can't race other cars. Belongs in a series where the car does all the work for the dri-... nevermind he deserves to be in F1.

Cynon

Pastor Maldonado -- Finally nothing went wrong and nobody crashed into him.

...

uhh...

...

Rusty Wallace -- Flipped his truck in the LCQ and kept going. What a CHAMP.

Cynon

I'm not saying it was illegal, it's not, you get one move. And Roman used it, but with how bad his brakes and tyres were, and with Max setting the sec fastest lap of the race then, he should have known making his one move at the only overtaking point was going to end that way. Not illegal at all, b...

Cynon

Bernie -- Guess this win was bad for business, too? Golden boy Hamilton looks like a petulant child, and the two guys he slagged off as being bad for F1 went 1-2. Nico Hulkenberg -- Turned into Alonso on the first lap. Yup, this chump is overrated. Mercedes Pit Wall -- Infiltrated by Toyota men fro...

Cynon

1. Kvyat -- Escapes reject status with a drive that tells Helmut Marko exactly where to shove it.
2. Button -- Points.

Cynon

Ricciardo channeled his inner Earnhardt with that move on Kimi. I approve.

C'mon....Why can't it be someone at the front lol.

Oh man Hamilton or Vettel gets 2nd?

This this this this this this.

At least Verstappen tried to pass unlike virtually everyone else in the field.

Cynon

And in more Bernie happenings, he's only gone and buried Rosberg and Vettel in a interview . It appears Bernie has been watching WWE recently, with all these "bad for business"/"best for business" remarks. He's not even trying to hide how much he loves Lewis Hamilton, isn't he? ...

Cynon

What was Hulkenberg trying to achieve there? And Alonso getting a penalty for that... (sigh...) That was a mindless move from Hulkenberg to cut over into Alonso like that... what did he expect Alonso was going to do, disappear?! I guess when you are only good enough for WEC you do stuff like that...
