Grand Prix Rejects

I stumbled across this little piece of whatever: m No idea how reputable the source is, but my gut tells me it's bathplugging garbage. Your gut would be right. Bleacher Report is one of the many "content farms" out there (along with The Examiner and others) designed completely to get Goog...

My reject of the race is my DirecTV DVR for failing to record the race while I was out of town.

This post gets my ROTR.

Can I give an honorary Reject of the Race to the Pastor Maldonado's Rapax team in Gp2? His team sent him out not once, but twice with a broken right suspension after he did a Dukes Of Hazzard caliber leap over Romain Grosjean in the feature race. They didn't even check it even though it was clear in...

The fact that Marty Roth and Hiro Matsushita both avoided the finalist list is the upset of the century.

Reject 1B is Michael Schumacher for a move that could have caused Rubens Barrichello, and possibly himself, serious injury. Reject 1A is the Mercedes team for a botched pit stop that could have caused multiple injuries and possible death in the pit lane. The rear point of view shot they showed of th...

I don't think he qualifies as ROTR, but Massa once again proved that he melts like the Wicked Witch when it rains. Yes, Alonso's move into the pits was very dodgy, but Massa did nothing ... pre- or post-Alonso pass. Massa's lack of form in the wet will always be his Achilles heel. That said ... (rac...

Hard not to pick Sauber for ROTR for having that optionally-attached front wing. That collision could have been far, far worse. It's a "good" thing Kobayashi hit between Buemi and Hulkenburg instead of flush into the side of one of them. The tie for second goes to Webber and Hamilton who w...

Hit fast-forward on my DVR.

Trulli by millions of miles for his all-around idiocy.

Runner-up to the McLaren lollipop man. Bronze to Speed TV PBP man Bob Varsha for declaring Jenson Button champion with a lap to go.

Rosberg is a no-brainer for me.

Luca Badoer was so distraught, he went to the Maranello commissary to have a bite to eat. Unfortunately, he hit "launch" instead of "lunch". Here's a picture ... http://www.bobdenver.com/Bob_s_Other_Series/Far_Out_Space_Nuts/SpaceNuts.jpg That's Stefano Domenicali looking on. (I ...

Another vote for KERS. Fisichella seemed to feel robbed in the unilateral press conference because of KERS ... and rightly so. In American racing, the cousin of KERS is push-to-pass, formerly used in Champ Car, and recently added to the IRL. It's nickname is push-to-not-get-passed, or in extreme cas...

The hits just keep on coming. According to a Twitter from Autosport's Jon Noble, Badoer ended his weekend by rear-ending Adrian Sutil in parc ferme.

I'll give it to McLaren's pit crew. Not for costing Hamilton the race, I think Rubens would have got him anyway, but for costing all of us the drama of at least trying to watch Hamilton track him down from closer distance. Badoer? I enjoyed his 17th place finish in the Minardi and I also like their ...

I need to spend more time here, I had no idea Zsolt was HWNSNBM. Even though I saw him score his lone championship point in person -- due to extreme, almost laughable, attrition -- perhaps I need to change my handle. As for the reject so far, the F1 graphic says it all. Badoer is BAD. Hate to say it...

The farce that was the 2005 USGP was not the USA's or the track's fault, that was solely in the lap of Michelin. Seems a bit harsh to knock a whole nation for that. And attendance fell after that, but it didn't fall precipitously. Indy wasn't the greatest circuit of all-time by any stretch, but it w...

Reject of the Race -- The Entire Weekend. So many things to complain about: - Felipe Massa's Luck. That was extreme misfortune to get hit with the spring in the first place -- especially seeing what happened a week earlier. - The Renault Wheel. Self explanatory. That was downright dangerous. - Spri...

Timing and scoring is an obvious one. Seeing nine drivers in Parc Ferme was funny. Here in America, Jenson Button was caught using profanity on the world feed when speaking with Fernando Alonso, which bothered me none, but was pretty funny when the Speed crew apologized for it. I hope I don't have t...

Having been there to see it in person, the 2005 USGP is my Reject of the Decade by miles.
