Grand Prix Rejects

Don't restrict this to YouTube, we already have one of those threads, but what are the greatest moments invloving rejects in F1?

My candidates:

Taki being Taki like only Taki knows how at the '95 Hungarian GP

Rofl! That wasn't staged? I bet one of those guys was fired.

They weren't fired, Minardi couldn't have afforded the redundancy payments...Great clip though. My favourite is Papis at Spa 95 spinning at the final chicane (not the bus stop, the quick flick before the track re-design) and then driving the wrong way down the pitstraight which is blind for those coming round.

Oh my goodness! I've never seen that before! EVERYTHING went wrong: re-fuelling, tyre change and, finally, he stalled

Minardi did have problems with their pit stops in 1998, but their stops were just as good as anyone else's most of the time, although they were rarely the fastest pit crew competing.

I've seen worse pit stops though. Ferrari losing one of Irvine's tyres at the 1999 European Grand Prix during a scheduled pitstop was arguably worse, since they had Ross Brawn sitting on the pit wall at the time.

Which prompted ITV's Martin Brundle to comment, "Don't have a committee meeting about it, stick it on and send him out."
