What was Ted Kravitz's RotR for?

Reporting on the motives of a crazy protester at the 2004 Spanish GP, therefore publicising his views, which is exactly what he wanted. http://www.f1rejects.com/centrale/2004/spain/index.html

This guy wasn't an anti-capitalist. He only does these things to get some attention to himself. Oh, yes, I love this quote:

HWNSNBM, meanwhile, continues to show he is a fish out of water in F1, qualifying 6.4s off the pole, and then becoming the first retirement through a lazy spin at Campsa whilst being lapped. Minardi's only hope in 2004 is for their cars to finish. The car isn't too reliable as it is; they don't need the likes of HWNSNBM making silly mistakes like that.

Leaderboard now up-to-date as of Chinese GP. Vitantonio Liuzzi jumps up from joint-38th to joint-23rd on the leaderboard, funnily enough level with his team-mate Adrian Sutil!

Leaderboard updated as of Spanish GP. Bruno Senna makes his debut in joint-41st place. We're now only 4 short of the magic 100 drivers with a RotR!

Going through the races where ROTR has been given, I wonder whether Honda should be actually split?

- Spa 2002 (engine manufacturer)
- Sepang 2005 (engine manufacturer)
- Melbourne 2006 (team/engine)
- Magny-Cours 2006 (team/engine)
- Melbourne 2009 (company)

They're basically the same, really.

I was thinking that as there are two awards for Toyota engines and 1,11 for the team itself. Also one for their launch control system.

In Honda's case it would be probably Honda 3, Honda engines 2.

tc3j3r · Post by **tc3j3r** » 21 May 2010, 11:11

The split has been made. Honda engines and Honda Racing F1 Team are in joint-24th with 2 RotRs apiece, Honda fatcat executives are in joint 42nd with 1 RotR.

It's your thread, so do what you want, but in my opinion I would put their distinct incarnations of ROTR together. After all, they all come from the same place, really.

tc3j3r · Post by **tc3j3r** » 21 May 2010, 19:01

If I did that, I would also have to merge Ferrari team/Ferrari engines/Ferrari pit crew, Toyota F1 team/Toyota engines/Toyota launch control and BMW Sauber/BMW pit crew. Honda was inconsistent with the other 3 so I made the split. Consistency is the most important thing. But it's a very difficult decision to make. What do you guys think I should do, have teams seperate from their engines/pit crews/launch control systems/fat cat executives, or count them all as the same?

Nope. Keep the Word of Enoch as He spells it himself.

It's really fascinating to me that the Force had yet to be a ROTR.

Bleu · Post by **Bleu** » 01 Aug 2010, 19:56

Force India had been backmarker team and therefore it was difficult to be disappointing before this season, so it's understandable that they hadn't got it earlier. Minardi had only the one which was shared between 9 teams. Super Aguri didn't get any either. Or Midland or Spyker in their single years.

Minardi and Super Aguri were so lovable though.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm currently 42 in the standings of our Fantasy Racers tournament, which seems to be the most Rejectful tied place in the ROTR leaderboard, so... does that make me anything? :lol:

Only on average points -per-race. I'm last in the overall standings, by virtue of competing in the dizzying number of 4 races.

Hi, could someone fill in the gaps where there aren't race reviews from the late 2008 races, who was ROTR in all of those? (To save having to trawl through all the acrhive podcasts to find them!)

Yeah, they were on the podcasts, Enoch didn't write a race review for those.

James1978 · Post by **James1978** » 20 Oct 2010, 12:52

Why Japan for Japan?

Did Massa's entourage get it for thinking he'd won the championship when he hadn't? Seeing that guy punch the TV was funny
