GPR Awards – 2023 Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

This year, Grand Prix Rejects has nothing new to say involving the travesty that is the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. To avoid repeating ourselves, we will instead boycott discussing the event. For more information on why, please consult Amnesty International’s most recent report on the

GPR Awards – 2022 Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

The final race of 2022’s Formula One season had us saying farewell to a great many drivers, some of whom we will miss and others of whom we have already forgotten. While the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was its usual plodding self, it at least

GPR Awards – 2022 Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix

For the second year in a row, Max Verstappen sailed to victory in front of his home crowd at Zandvoort. This year’s performance was quite a bit more ominous in its shades of Sebastian Vettel in 2013, and a late-season romp appears all but inevitable
