Grand Prix Rejects

I like the new points system, but I like random nonsense. Any points system where neither Farina nor Fangio win the 1950 season is just wrong though. Seriously? Yep. If there are no cut-off results and this points system is employed, Luigi Fagioli wins on the strength of 4 second places and 1 third...

I can't deny I would have rather seen Heidfeld in the second Merc. I was never a fan of his (pulling for the Hills, Häkkinens and Montoyas all those years) but I can't deny that I'm very excited about 2010.

Oh my God! I didn't think they actually had a chance of getting on the grid ever.

The weird thing is though, that he probably could do much better. Or am I the only one who doesn't think she's that pretty?

m According to this article (in German, couldn't find a link in English) there are no investors behind Qadbak at all (as has been suspected before) and it is all just a making-money-scheme by a known conman named Russell King who apparently is also behind Bahrain Capital International who have guara...

But... that's not Bernie Ecclestone.

1. Brawn
2. Nico Rosberg

Regarding number 2, either Nakajima was bad or the car was. I'll go with the car and say it was all Rosberg.
I simply can't vote for Kobayashi after only two races.

Ayers Rock?

Bathurst?

It says South-East Australia for his location so it's probably Victoria

No need, if I wasn't German I'd have no idea either. DTM is incredibly boring most of the time.

Certainly helped Heikki, didn't it?
You do have a point though, speaking in general. Still, I want Heidfeld for the second seat because he is my favourite driver .

To DTM where he just lost out on the title a couple of weeks ago.

I think there were some all-British podiums in the 1960s, but I doubt the French drivers ever managed one. Actually, maybe Pironi at Ferrari and the Renaults did at some point? The closest I can think of at the moment is the all-Francophone podium at the 1997 Spanish Grand Prix, when French-Canadia...

Here's hoping we'll see an all-german podium with Vettel, Rosberg and Heidfeld (if he makes it to Merc). Let's hope Amthony Davidson gets a decent drive so we can have 19 all brit podia On a related note, how often has that happened that all three drivers on the podium came from the same country? I...

Judging from past experience, I somewhat doubt that. Here's hoping that I'm wrong though.

1. Jenson Button Champion, finished almost every race in the points. I don't understand people that say it wasn't utterly deserved, his drive in Interlagos when he clinched it, confirmed him as top of the class this year. 2. Sebastian Vettel In contrast to Button, Vettel was one of the four quickest...

I for one am very happy with this if it gets Sauber and Nick Heidfeld on the grid next year. Kobayashi showed enough to deserve a full year at some other team even though that looks unlikely at the moment but Nakajima is probably gone for good.

Raw Pace 9.5 Even in those years when he didn't have the best car, he was outstanding. Strategic Ability 8.5 A smart driver if ever there was one. Personal Reliability: 8.5 Mistakes happen. He had his fair share but still less than most of the others. Entertainment Value: 6 Always very entertaining ...

Thankfully, it's not going to be Ralf Schumacher.

I have to ask though, since when was he in the running?

Kimi and Sutil again... un-bleeding-believable.

Been lurking for months, now finally got around to registering. Woohoo.
Anyway, Bernd Schneider surely needs to be named. He is the most successful DTM driver of all time and just last year finally retired.
