Thanks watka - that's made my day.

And as for the Mansell/Alonso two seater accident, notice how Nige blames Fernando for slowing down coming out of the corner. Clearly the old blame-game habits die hard ...

In Nissany's defense, that car steered atrociously.

Yeah, and the 95 Pacific wasnt a world-beater either.
That doesnt make Deletraz's performance any less Reject-worthy ^^

Nissany was 7,3 seconds slower than Robert Doornbos...in fact, only driver of whom he was within 107% was Nicolas Kiesa in Jordan, at even that only under tenth of a second.

Really? That is atrociously slow, he'd have given Delatrez a run for his money if he'd ever bought himself into a full time seat......thankfully Stoddart wasn't that desperate (or stupid).

In fact, did Nissany ever really achieve anything in other classes of motorsport?

The beauty of this clip is that we're looking at a reject team having a reject pit stop. Just imagine if Life ever had to do one in the heat of battle... if they ever qualified... or pre-qualified... or lasted long enough to put a pre-qualification lap in.

Too Bad there aren't any youtube videos of Life that I know of, but then again who would want to film a car that at Imola ran a 7:16.212 minute lap (How is that even possible to do a 7 minute lap at Imola, you could probably do a 5 minute lap just walking, can anybody explain that to me?)

by **Bleu** » 09 May 2009, 17:04

The lap times were calculated differently back then. He left the pits after session had started and crossed the timing line on the track when seven minutes and 16 seconds had gone in the session. And then most likely car broke on the next lap.

By the way, Mark Blundell set a time of 16 minutes and 42 seconds at 1995 Japanese GP qualifying in a similar way. Left the pits, drove outlap and then spun on his first flying lap. To make it worse he crashed heavily in Saturday free practice and was forced to sit Saturday qualifying. At that time, however, all drivers qualified for the race, so Blundell started the race 23rd (after Aguri Suzuki was injured and did not start) and last position, finishing 7th less than two seconds from Mika Salo in 6th place.

here's Blundell's FP crash:

I just loved Larini's cool. I'd probably be having a stroke in there, as the guys hammered the wheels away. Is Larini really Italian?

At 3:12 in this clip with commentary by Murray Walker and James Hunt, there is the Lambo pitstop of Larini in Phoenix, with a nice Murrayism as commentary. It's GMIF1P worthy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNW253rk ... re=related

Ah The Brabham BT50. The only top-team car more unreliable than the 02 McLaren Mp4-17.

Gotta love the commentator on that clip, the sarcasm is just hilarious.

Actually Ive read that in late 2005 a woman, Katherine Legge, had first tested an F1 car, and on her first try she was 3 seconds quicker than Nissany. Not to mention, at first when he started he was about 12 seconds slower than Albers. Even when Ide first tested he was "only" 7 seconds slower than Sato :lol:

Really nice recovery by Enrique Bernoldi after an idiotic attempt at overtaking by Felipe Massa.
I was there for this one and what you didn't see on camera was Tom Walkinshaw storming off to Sauber and shouting at Peter Sauber and Beat Zehnder. Proper foaming at the mouth, Ken Tyrrell style.

by **watka** » 23 May 2009, 08:32

I didn't even realise that Coulthard started on pole for Monaco 2001! That makes the vid of him behind Bernoldi even funnier!

As for the Lolas, for the 2 corners you get to see them fully, they look painfully slow.

by **Henrique** » 23 May 2009, 08:43

Indeed, they look slow. And the Best Lap and Speed data at the end says it all. Being six seconds slower than Pedro Diniz is not good at all for Rosset
