Grand Prix Rejects

How long before we get a Sebastian Bourdais F1 Reject page?

Including a section of his excuses would be stellar.

Always nice to hear this obscure Beatles gem in any context!

Very long time. Bourdais simply gets in line. How many recent drivers are waiting for a Reject profile? Yuji Ide, Friesacher, Albers, Sakon Yamamoto, Montagny, Bruni, HWNSNBM...
There's probably more I'm forgetting.

And who knows, maybe he will get a drive next season (even if I doubt it...)

I read on some forums that Ferrari should consider him to replace Massa, as he has a lot of mileage in 2009 cars, unlike any other free driver. So if that happens, and he manages to get himself out of reject status in 6 races with a relatively competitive Ferrari, then a profile wouldn't be necessary.

What are the odds of that though? Domenicali would need to be really stoned.

yes, i think Badoer has more chance of removing himself from Reject Status than Bourdais, in the 2009 Ferrari at least.

Yeap, he's a reject material.. actually there are even more candidates this season: Piquet, Nakajima...

Much as Piquet deserves a reject page, he did finish 2nd in Germany, making him not reject material.

A Lucky Bastard medal if ever one was deserved. Saved by the safety car, of all things.

We could always say that, with the 2008 Safety Car regulations, a lot of reject drivers would have escaped rejectdom

Piquet definitely has to replace Andretti in the top one of "You Lucky Bastard". But with those regulations dropped, and with a car good enough to score big points in 2009 and even some races of 2008, Nakajima is perfect reject material.

Well, Nelson scored 4th in Fuji so it wasn't all because of Hockenheim. Unless he would have been sacked last year without that Hockenheim result.

See, I actually liked those safety car rules because they actually seemed more fair to me.

And that's just the As.

Copied from Wikipedia though, I think most of them were from Indy. Why did they count it? It's messed up records ever since.

I made a complete list of rejects anyway - http://www.f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=419
