GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix

The second race at the Red Bull Ring was almost carbon copy of the first one. Max Verstappen cleared off into the distance and, with the Mercedes team suffering a rather lacklustre qualifying, were never in position to challenge the Dutch driver, who crossed the finish line to

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Styrian Grand Prix

Another race, another win for Max Verstappen and Red Bull. At effectively the team’s home race, Verstappen was unbothered pretty much all the way by his closest challenger Lewis Hamilton. Red Bull‘s fourth consecutive victory also marks the biggest win drought for Mercedes in the

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 French Grand Prix

Paul Ricard, not known for its pantheon of great races in the modern era, can proudly pat itself on the back for delivering to the 2021 season an above-average race, serving as the hunting ground for Max Verstappen and Red Bull to take another hit at Lewis Hamilton

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

In a season that is turning even the most cynical of heads around to expect a good title fight to the finish, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was by far the most weird and wonderful yet. With what appeared to be an inherited win by Sergio

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix

For the first time in three years, the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix saw Mercedes at the top of neither the drivers’ nor the constructors’ championship on Sunday evening. It was a show of resurgence and driving excellence yet again from Max Verstappen, who took full

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix

The 2021 Spanish Grand Prix provided the fans with an unusually interesting race at the Circuit of Catalunya, as Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes used better strategy and almost unbelievable pace on medium tyres to provide a repeat of the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix, overtaking Max Verstappen and Red

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix

The 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix gifted us Lewis Hamilton‘s second win of the season, beating Max Verstappen and his team-mate Valtteri Bottas. While the race relied more on how the Pirelli tyres handled the surface of the Portimão racetrack to create some interesting strategy variance, further behind some plot lines developed, contributing to

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix

The 2021 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, whose full name is so rejectful I won’t even type it, brought F1 back to Imola again, and back racing after a three-week break. Max Verstappen took a dominant win to bring the title challenge to Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes.

GPR Awards – 2021 Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix

The 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix was run last Sunday. After a fantastic, yet controversial, race-long duel between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, the defending champion came out on top. But the race win isn’t the most important prize of the weekend at Grand Prix Rejects. Those are the coveted Reject of the

Reject of the Year: 2018 Rankings

The goalposts for ‘reject’ performances in current era Formula 1 have shifted a metaphorical mile since those halcyon days of Life, Andrea Moda, Forti and Pacific capturing our hearts in the 1990s. Gone are the haphazardly run outfits without money for a set of dry
