Grand Prix Rejects

Has to be Norris.
In this Noah's Arc of a season even getting a podium and (where Verstappen doesnt retire) and finishing ahead of the Ferraris is a great result. But getting 2nd and managing to finish ahead of Perez aswell is worth a thumbs up.
He even got sprint pole.

Day 7 - Leg 4 The weather forecast said that it would be dry so I start the day by staying a nearby petrol station to grab a drink; they have Coca Cola because of course they do. https://i.imgur.com/cU91lVQ.png I then head up to Lubango, Angola's 2nd biggest city. I stop at place close to the main ...

Day 6 - Leg 3 Well today was all about getting into Angola so I continued north on the B1. I knew I would need supplies for Angola so I stopped at Otjiwarongo, firstly at a nice bar, followed by stocking up at the local Superspar which should have me sorted all through Angola and into the Congo. I ...

Day Five Two After dealing with border post we start the morning heading into Namibia. Its a long boring drive north up the B1 but I'm glad that I can lazily follow the road north whilst I still can. After 3 hours of a boatload of nothing we make our first stop in Keetmanshoop. I make sure that we'...

Ducktanian

Day Four One Well, better late than never. After arriving at the Cape good and early, I pick whatever junk of a car has been left at the Cape of Good Hope starting point and head to the WeBuyCars dealership whilst the roads are still relatively decent to trade it in for a car that isn't completely ...

Ducktanian

Only 9/13 for me.
I've never been that great at recognizing the tracks

Ducktanian

Fangio didnt participate in 1952. You'd probably need to go via Farina first

Ducktanian

So with the 2024 grid confirmed, it looks like we only have 2 rejects for next year, Zhou and Sergeant.

Ducktanian

Yas Marina Circuit - God this race was dull as hell. Chuck this venue in the bin. Las Vegas & Brazil would both work better as final races. No one will miss this track. Jorge Martin - Choke of the century right here. David Croft - THERES NO VERSTOPPEN VERSTAPPEN!! Also watching the MotoGP and l...

Ducktanian

Ocon - Impressive 4th place. Makes the order to hold position seem very silly.

Ducktanian

The drain cover fiasco - What an absolute farce. Also bathplug over Sainz's race.

The Netflix Cup - Speaking of absolute farces.

Ducktanian

Nice to see Norris finally getting the title after those 2nd places.
Next year should be interesting, or maybe it'll just be a Piastri walkover.

Ducktanian

One Stop Strategies - This is pretty much a catch all for Ferrari's straight 1-stop strategy that just didn't work combined with Ricciardo and Lewis staying out too long and losing a ton of time, almost as if they wanted to try a 1-stop but couldn't make the tyres last. Leclerc - :leclerc: (EDIT: b...

Ducktanian

Hamilton - Honestly could've taken that win from Max on merit if not for that first pit stop/stint. Also easily better than Russell all weekend. Good race from Lewis. Lewis didn't lose that race, Mercedes did. (EDIT: This nomination was before the disqualification) Stroll: Surprisingly decent perfo...

Ducktanian

Perez (H.M.) - Continues his awful run of form Hamilton - Way too aggressive at the start, and forced his teammate into a dangerous position. I mean he went over to squeeze Russell almost immediately. Gasly; Hulkenberg (H.M.) - What others have said The pyramid kerbs and whoever decided it was a goo...

Ducktanian

Sainz - Had to fight tooth and nail for pretty much the entire race for his first podium of the season.
Also got the pole position in a pretty close fight.

Ducktanian

Alpine - God they were absolutely nowhere this weekend. Dreadful pace.

Five Second Penalties - Both Mercedes drivers proved today that these are meaningless. Hamilton ruins Piastri's race and gets away with it. You could also merge this with Race Control for the shenanigans at the Start.

Ducktanian

I think one element of the whole "How good is Leclerc actually?" question, is that whilst Max has the entirety of Red Bull behind him in a well-oiled machine, Charles seems weirdly at odds with his own team. I know this has been clear for a while but Ferrari is not the well-oiled machine R...

Ducktanian

Gasly - A surprise podium makes this the obvious nomination.

Ducktanian

F1 Strategists - Miguel said it best on the discord, where as soon as rain comes down all the strategists seem to lose their minds. Leclerc - Failing to properly inform your team that you are about the enter the pits, as the potential great result turns into an ever-increasing nightmare race as tim...

Perez - Seems like he's finally gotten his groove back. Feels weird to nominate a Red Bull for finishing 2nd but here we are. Leclerc - A quiet but solid podium drive. Hard to believe its only his 3rd podium this season. Tsunoda - Had the measure of Dale and got points to boot! The Crowd Walk - A g...

Ducktanian

Belgian Elton John - I mean do I need to explain

Ricciardo - Qualified last and was beaten by Tsunoda quite cleanly in the race.

Ducktanian

Zhou - Pretty slam dunk this one.

Ducktanian

Yeah no-one really stood out.

Can't start voting for Norris every race

Ducktanian

Ferrari I dont think anyone has brought up the whole "What was Plan B again?" radio message. Also, there was Russell's radio message about wanting to focus on the Mclarens, not the Ferrari. Which is not only kind of a disrepect towards Ferrari as a threat but also weirdly prophetic. Just ...

Ducktanian

All the drivers who got track limit penalties - 20 best drivers, yadda yadda yadda. Mercedes, particularly Hamilton - After the last 2 races, this was a sudden jump back to reality. as noted by others Hamilton was clearly unhappy all race. Haas - Slide to the back... Slide to the back ... Slide to ...

Ducktanian

McLaren's Upgrades - I mean with Norris up in 5th, it looks like the upgrades really did the business. Norris looked really comfortable this race. With Piastri getting the upgrade next race, Alpine had better watch their backs as McLaren will be gunning for that 5th place in constructors.

Ducktanian

Are you perhaps insinuating that Stroll might not be champion material?

On another note, I do wonder if Norris will ever get a title under this.

Ducktanian

Albon - 6 crucial points for Williams

Ferrari - Ferrari has had such an awful season that this is actually a pretty good result for them.

Honourable Mention to Bottas for a quiet but successful drive.

Ducktanian

George Russell - Should've been in the fight for a podium, but made that mistake which basically ruined his race. When Sir Lewis is your teammate, you cant really afford to make mistakes like this. Lance Stroll - I honestly forgot he was even in this race until like Lap 50. de Vries - I mean come o...

Ducktanian

Zhou & Tsunoda for reasons already stated.

Honorable Mention - Stroll just for the virtue of finishing ahead of Alonso. Though, Alonso basically let him stay ahead hence why its an only honorable mention.

Ducktanian

Bottas - Remember when Bottas came 8th in Bahrain? That seems so long ago now. Russell's Sweat - Phantom Rain strikes when you least expected it. This is the kind of nonsense GPRejects lives for :P Discord - Was a absolute laggy mess throughout the duration of the race. Honorable Mention Alonso - E...

Ducktanian

This is what 3 championships Alonso has gained now? Is he secretly Captain Falcon?

Ducktanian

2023 - After 5 races Well, 5 races in and we have one of the most dominant openings to a season we have ever seen in this championship since 2017 with Pérez. This suggests that we may have a walk-over in favour of: :dance: MAGIC Alonso De España :dance: Behind this though, its still all to play for...

Ducktanian

Kevin Magnussen The obvious choice. P4 in quali is halfway to a nomination by itself, but he managed to bring it home to earn a juicy point for the team, whilst making an embarrasment of Leclerc in the process. Easily the standout this weekend. A single point might not seem much, but with the Top 8...

Ducktanian

Charles Leclerc - Seemed weirdly off-beat all weekend. Obviously there was that crash during quali and than he just could not pass K-Mag and make it stick to save his life for a shockingly long amount of time. Lack of confidence? This sums it up quite nicely https://i.imgur.com/ioYUget.jpeg Martin ...

Ducktanian

Oh god where do we begin. Pierre Gasly - Gasly absolutely threw away a great result for him and the team with the Lap 56 restart. Firstly, he goes in too deep into Turn 1 and is very lucky to not hit Alonso (Sainz hits him instead) so he gets away with it, but then he decides to immediately rejoin i...

Ducktanian

Actually thats a good point, I'll alter my nomination.
