The 2012 Unrejectifying Discussion Topic

jackanderton · Post by **jackanderton** » 21 Mar 2012, 12:59

All a former Formula One driver needs to do to escape eligibility for this site is to have been successful in F1. Specifically, they must have scored ...

• a 4th, 3rd, 2nd or 1st place, or
• a 5th place, plus any other top-6 result, or
• three or more 6th places

How hard can that be? Very!

Active 2012 rejects:

Sergio Perez-
Best career result? 7th place, 2011 British GP, 2nd Best results 8th place 2011 Japanese GP, 2012 Australian GP
Chances of a top 6 finish? High! At some point I expect Perez to get this breakthrough result but maybe not more than once.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career?- Given his Ferrari links and his obvious talent, very high. Maybe not this year. 9/10 This year? Outside chance.

Daniel Ricciardo-
Best career result? 9th place 2012 Australian GP
Chances of a top 6 finish? A possibility. The Toro Rosso seems capable of points finishes and it only takes one outstanding weekend. He will have to take the chance when it arrives though.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career? - Fairly good but as a Toro Rosso driver he could be on the scrapheap soon. 5/10 This year? Don't think so, sorry!

Pastor Maldonado-
Best career result? - 10th place 2011 Belgian GP
Chances of a top 6 finish? Decent, but he's blown two top 6 finishes already, where he'd have been one good result from escaping this site and possibly the pay driver stigma with it.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career? - He's got the moolah so will surely be racing around for a while yet. 7/10 This year? You'll be lucky.

Paul Di Resta
Best career result? - 6th place 2011 Singapore GP, 7th Place 2011 Hungarian GP
Chances of a top 6 result - So far this year Force India don't look as quick- either that or are poor on their tyres. But he has the aptitude if the time comes.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career - Quite likely if he's able to stick around. 6.5/10 This year? Well, only one good weekend needed potentially...but no.

Nico Hulkenberg
Best career result? - 6th place 2011 Hungarian GP, 7th Place 2011 Italian GP
Chances of a top 6 result? - So far this year Force India don't look as quick- either that or are poor on their tyres. But he has the aptitude if the time comes.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career? - Quite likely if he's able to stick around. 6.5/10 This year? Well, only one good weekend needed potentially...but no.

Jean-Eric Vergne
Best career result? - 11th Place 2012 Australian GP
Chances of a top 6 result? - A possibility. The Toro Rosso seems capable of points finishes and it only takes one outstanding weekend. He will have to take the chance when it arrives though.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career? - Who knows? Buemi and Alguersuari didn't manage to. 5/10 This year? Errm. It would be a surprise.

Romain Grosjean
Best career result? - 13th place 2009 Brazilian GP
Chances of a top 6 result? Good. If he doesn't this year he'll be lucky to ever get another chance.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career? Very good given the machinery at his disposal. 9/10 This year? As mentioned, if he doesn't this year he'll be lucky to ever get another chance.

Bruno Senna
Best career result? - 9th place 2011 Italian GP
Chances of a top 6 result? - Williams looks capable but he'll have to add something himself you feel, he won't be gifted it.
Chance of unrejectifying himself in his career? He's called Senna so he probably will get endless chances. 7/10 This year? Not this year.

Charles Pic
Best career result? - 15th place 2012 Australian GP
Chances of a top 6 result? - The sky doesn't seem to be falling in and I'm still breathing in and out, so you work it out.
Chances of unrejectifying himself in his career? Erm, probably not with Marussia. Look at the long careers Di Grassi and D'Ambrosio had. 2/10 This year? It would certainly be one of the sports biggest surprises.

Is this about right, do you think?

Though it may be too early to judge form of cars, I think with Ferrari down and Mercedes hard on tires, both William's drivers, Grosjean and Perez all have a chance of some good points in the next few races, I expect at least one of them to unrejectify themselves fairy soon. Force India seemed to be at a similar pace at this stage last season and if they can get their act together they could also score good points and Toro Rosso are somewhat loose cannons, they had flashes of pace last year but for whatever reason didn't get the results, it will be interesting to see if this will be the case this year.

Charles Pic has no chance.

I say that's about it. Maybe the two FI drivers have a chance too, on account of them allready having scored some points.

Sunshine_Baby_[IT] · Post by **Sunshine_Baby_[IT]** » 21 Mar 2012, 22:24

In my opinion the drivers who could unrejectify this year are Williams drivers, Toro Rosso drivers, Force India drivers, Perez and Grosjean.

You've got Pic in the pic used as your forum pic.

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 22 Mar 2012, 08:44

I think Grosjean and Di Resta are the only decent bets. The Loyus looks like being a quick car and Di Resta is a pretty decent wet-weather driver.

Don't forget to take a camera to take some pics. Plus a sneaky little pic-me-up.

I am now picturing this rather picturesque picture. But yeah, bring in some picquant pickles!

Well, I think taking your Pic is not easy. You will need a full Picture of all possible Pics - this is too hard, I'm going to play Pic-Man now.

Look what's happened, all because Marussia are a reject team.

Charles, you've pic'd the wrong team to drive for.

Why, are you suggesting I don't have many to pic from? I bet HWNSNBM never has this problem...

HWNSNBM would win every game of Pic-tionary at this Pic-nic.

does anyone own a pic of Pic signed by Pic? I think it's safe to say Charles Pic is already more famous then Jerome d'Ambroiso

Has anybody suggested having the Picnic in Picadilly Square, having got there on the Piccadilly line, eating piccalillies and other picante pickles? And there ought to be someone playing a piccolo. Then going to Tate Modern to look at some Picasso before going to London Zoo to see if they have a pichi or piculet, before picketing the government in Parliament Square. All this before going to Picardy to visit a picador.But this thread is turning a bit picayune because we are all being picaros.

(Could anyone tell I have just been using a dictionary?)
