Grand Prix Rejects

From Speedtv.com Kovalainen Admits F1 Exit Possible: Heikki Kovalainen has admitted it is possible he will walk away from F1 at the end of the season. Although highly-rated, the Finn could be dropped by Caterham for 2013, due to the team dropping outside the lucrative top ten places in the construct...

What if the cameraman, producer or director of this race stayed on the "action" starting at about 8:09 into this video and kept the camera there, so that we got to see what happens the next 20 to 24 seconds . . . . ???

Murray Walker at his best, unaware that he is predicting the future yet again.
Pay attention starting about 2 minutes 12 seconds in this video.

Did you know that on the second lap of the 1983 South Africa GP, Cheever got along side of Laffite on the main straight and under breaking for Crowthorne Corner Cheever moved over and edged Laffite off the track, into a spin and retirement...... Conspiracy theorists, time to stand up...? *stands up...

Wow, someone else who lives in the same state as Brainerd International Raceway...???

Are people still following this? 1983 No Piquet, Prost, Arnoux, Tambay, Rosberg, Watson, Patrese or Alboreto. Eddie Cheever 50 (5 wins, 1 3rd) Jacques Laffite 46 (1 win, 6 2nd) Nigel Mansell 32 (2 wins, 2 2nd) Derek Warwick 30 (1 win, 1 2nd, 3 3rd) Marc Surer 30 (1 win, 3 3rd) Niki Lauda 28 (2 wins,...

Here's the results from the "Worst of All Time" Indycar Hall of Fame voting. Be sure to check the link explaining why/how Hiro Matsushita got his nickname....

Go Benetton Go!

Andrea de Cesaris gets the 2nd Sauber seat. Then in his 200th race start at Canada, by bizarre circumstances, heavy attrition, and in the rain, he wins the race. Just as Murray Walker says "Unless I am very much mistaken, Andrea wins a GP and doesn't wreck his car....." only then Andrea do...

I have a 1983 Danny Sullivan Tyrrell diecast. That counts, correct? Would the follow diecast count since the driver/car combination scored 2 points or less for the given year or event? Fabi Benetton B186 - 1986 (only scored 2 points all season) Wurz Benetton Playlife - 2000 (only scored 2 points all...

Yes, this was made as a parody, considering that Nicole won the USA season of "Dancing with the Stars" contest Tuesday night. Interestingly, Lewis was in the audience the very first night of the competition to suport Nicole, and also on Monday night this week, but they never showed him the...

I have seen a couple of sources that someone may be producing a 1/43rd scale diecast of Otto Stuppacher Tyrrell from 1976. Surely that will be one of THE F1 Reject diecast to have if it does indeed get produced.

A possible GMIF1P...?? Lewis Hamilton’s new outgoing message: "What’s up everybody! Its your man Lewis here and I’m SO excited, I feel like I am on top of the world right now. Why, because I want to congratulate my girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger for (clap) being (clap) the Offical (clap) Dancing...

It was just announced that here in the United States that Nicole Scherzinger will be a contestant on this season's "Dancing with the Stars" program. So I guess we will be seeing more of her here the next few months.

I hinted at this in the Christmas gift wish list, but I'm curious no one else has mentioned it. Doesn't Rubens need to feel "loved" by his team to do well and perform well? Or was it after being 2nd banana at Ferrari for so long that affected him? In Frank Williams and Patrick Head, you ha...

Gotta be the Life team from 1990. Partially because I have photos of Giacommelli on both of his laps run Friday morning at the Canada GP race weekend.... :-0

Okay, so supposedly only 3 out of the 4 legs of support structure for the Olympic Cauldron rose up instead of all 4. And this happened after Jacques V was in the same place. Hmmmmmm.. Time to Stand Up?

I know most people here don't hold Jacques Villeneuve in high regard after his 1997 title year, but he was just one of 8 Canadians to carry in the Official Olympic Flag at the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies.

That's got be worth something.......

Yes, the correct answer to why Andrea had car #8 in 1981 was because "it was the same number up-side down......" Not sure where I read it, but I do remember seeing that in print at that time. Admittedly, I had the honor of being in the grandstand at F1 Austria 1985 GP when he went off duri...

While shinji and dr-baker technically have the right answer, the answer I'm looking for is related to what Phoenix has stated......

Why did Andrea deCesaris have car number 8 in 1981?

rFactor. Absolutely love this game and all the various open-wheel mods that have been created.

Mediocre, is there a beta download available for the 1994 F1 season that you are working on?

Excellent podcast as usual guys! Really enjoyed the song at the end. And thank you for mentioning my Xmas gift idea to Mario Andretti for an honorary drive in the US F1 car.

Happy Birthday Enoch!!!

1985 Dutch GP. Both Benetton Alfa-Romeo's retiring lap 1 with blown engines.

2010 F1 race seat for HWNSNBM! Honorary test drive for Mario Andretti for the US GP car For Rubens "Just get in and drive the darn car and get on with it" book by Alan Jones, subtitled "How to get along with Frank Williams and Patrick Head without needing to feel loved and appreciated...

Beautiful Benetton B186

What the? An entire podcast with not a single mention of HWNSNBM?????? Okay, loved the F1 Reject driver round-up of the Lemans race.
Long Live the F1 Rejects Brabham Fomtec(?) Super Aguri Cosworth team!

To those who suggest that the 1986 Benetton B186 paint scheme was an eyesore, I respectfully disagree: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1032/oldf1carpz9.th.jpg This car had the best paint scheme ever in the history of F1. Jamie and Enoch, thanks for the "good-day" to me one on of the pod...

>> Hooray! I'm in before you put a link to the forum on the main page!

Count me as another fan of the F1 Rejects site and of Jamie and Enoch. Loved the Friday podcast including music from Madonna and Cookie Monster! Keep up the great work and tell it like it is!
