Grand Prix Rejects

I decided to start this topic because there are many funny F1 pictures out there that simply don't fit the "Caption This" theme. I'll start with this:

The third pic down in this link:

Looks like Prost's put something down Arnoux's back or something (and Arnoux's saying back "No, this champagne is MINE"!!!).

Would be a brilliant photo for the "Caption This" thread...

Haha nice pictures!

I would like to see Hamilton with this helmet:








Where's Lewis' hand?

I can see his hand clearly, holding what appears to be his McLaren's steering wheel!

Surely Lewis is trying to find Alonso's six tenths.

By the way, I love the Kimi Ice Cream photo, his face real does say it all.

What did Felipe see?

EDIT: Actually, these may be better with photos of Button and Vettel instead of Narain.

The cars surrounding the Toleman are way newer than 1986 (The Chevy Lumina police car is at least from 1995 and what looks like an Audi A8 looks at least from 1998), so I suspect this is some idiot driving an F1 car down a busy street.

That is all.

Found this while browsing around.

shite! I know exactly what this is. This is a road-legal replica of a Formula 1 car built by a French company whose name escapes me. I remember reading an article on a site somewhere. I know that the replica cars were used for a Canadian TV series on Formula 1 from 1990 called (in a fabulous display of imagination and creativity) 'Formule 1'. I remember watching it on Portuguese TV in the 80s. I've been looking for the series for years and no luck. The closest thing I ever found was a trailer on YouTube:

This is the link on IMDB:

It was sort of Michel Vaillant, for those who know it. The main characters drove for a team that had cars painted to look like Benettons from 1987 and after a few races one of the drivers leaves the team and goes to another team that had cars painted to look like the Minardi from 1987.

Thought I'd resurrect this as I found this is one that's been uploaded to the facebook high-res images page from 2002!

Great.

From here.

And AndreaModa, if I were you I would replace IMG tags with URL tags instead, and put a language warning, given how frontal the profanity is in the picture you posted...

Can't see anyone else complaining considering it's been up for over a week now. And if you're that worried about swearing I'd direct your attention to the countless press releases and news reports in the PMMF if I were you. Stop being a jobsworth and kick back and have a laugh for a change.

I see that. Then again, my teams hardly make publicocrap and when they do so - or even making a news article, there is no profanity said by them

Damn you, /r/formula1.

Wouldn't it be great if Disney became the main sponsor of Marussia?

There's no way Disney would be associated with that shape of nose, though. They'd have to sponsor Mercedes or Ferrari. Probably Mercedes, with the sort-of-return of the infamous Dumbo wings...

Or maybe they'd go for Toleman? Goofy's teeth could be adapted round that bizarre twin nose.

The E22 noses would be perfect as his ears.
