A special Bank Holiday Driver Profile for you lovely people! Toranosuke Takagi arrived in the late 90s as Japan's fresh new F1 hope, but two pointless seasons later he was out of the sport. Read his story right here today! gprejects.com/centrale/profi…

#OnThisDay in 2010, a new F1 season began in Bahrain. On the grid were 3 new teams - Team Lotus, Virgin Racing and last but certainly not least, Hispania Racing Team (HRT)! Only the two Lotuses finished the Grand Prix, with Heikki Kovalainen 15th and Jarno Trulli 17th.

Esteban Ocon getting a penalty for speeding in the pits while serving a penalty which by itself was caused by him serving the initial penalty is easily the most rejectful thing that has happened this weekend! #BahrainGP

There's just enough time left in the F1 preseason for a GPR Season Preview, surely the only 2023 F1 season preview anywhere to reference Prost Grand Prix and EuroBrun! gprejects.com/centrale/2023-…

We'll always remember Slim Borgudd for dragging an ATS into the points at Silverstone in 1981, a truly heroic effort by the Swede.

I’m sad to hear of the passing of Slim Borgudd, 76, one-time jazz drummer, mate of Björn Ulvæus, & therefore sponsored by #Abba during his brief #F1 career (pic: ’81 ATS HGS1). He was more successful in truck racing than he was in single-seaters. #RIPSlimBorgudd

#OnThisDay 26 years ago, the one and only MasterCard Lola T97/30 was launched at the Hilton Hotel in London. Lola team boss Eric Broadley and its two drivers, Vincenzo Sospiri and Ricardo Rosset were present at this event. The rest, as they say, is history...

GPR would like to wish a very happy birthday to Giovanni Lavaggi or as he is somewhat affectionately known by #F1 fans, "Johnny Carwash"! The Italian driver made 10 entries, starting in 7 of them for Pacific and Minardi from 1995-96. His best finish was 10th at Hungary in 1996.

Arguably Formula 1's first true backmarker and a pioneer for Belgian motorsport, Johnny Claes is fondly remembered at GP Rejects, so much so we have a three-part profile on the chap! gprejects.com/centrale/profi…

Remembering jazz trumpeter & #F1 driver Johnny Claes, who died of TB #OnThisDay in ’56, aged just 39. He started 23 GPs, without huge success, but his day of days was 3rd place at #LeMans in ’55, in a D-Type Jag. Pic: in a Talbot-Lago T26C, Silverstone ’50, the first ever F1 GP.

18 years ago today, the beginnings of NissanyMania as Paul Stoddart signed Chanoch Nissany as Minardi's test driver for 2005. GPR's all-time favourite tester, some say Formula 1 has never been the same since Nissany left the sport!
