Hello everyone
In these strange times under lockdown, we can bring a little cheer by announcing the end of the GPR article drought. Incredible it may seem, it's been a whole decade since three new teams joined the Formula One grid. In our little parc ferme of the internet we took these teams to our hearts, willed them forward and mourned their loss as one by one they closed down. But there's one pressing question which demands an answer: which of HRT, Lotus/Caterham and Virgin/Marussia was the best "new team"?
In a relaunch of our Gravel Trap section, our very own Klon has studied the stats and results, and come to a controversial conclusion, fitting for Grand Prix Rejects. Read all about it from here!

Re: New Article - The Best 2010 Team
An interesting take, I like this article!
HRT certainly had some areas they did well in, since all of these driver testimonies couldn't all just be kissing HRT's feet (Ricciardo in particular; he was going to get a Toro Rosso seat one way or the other) If only they had a bigger budget, or raced 10 years earlier they have had a better time.

Great article, and I wholeheartedly agree.
I also maintain that the 2012 HRT car is the most beautiful car of the 2010s decade. Change my mind.

Great article. Anyone remember the legal battle Tony Fernandes had to use the Lotus name?
Always confused me why he used the "Lotus Team" name in 2010 & 2011, but then changed it for 2012.

Wasn't it something along the lines of Team Enstone wanting to use the name instead? Or whoever had the rights to the name wanted Team Enstone to have the name?
