I don't agree with Miami GP nomination tbqh. It doesn't feel like actual rejectfulness. The driver presentation/introduction is just what they do and won't be there for Imola or further races. It was just for a bit of fun and some people had fun, some didn't. Plus the race was dull but again it was...

I totally think Alfa Romeo should get it for being retired and last.

Come on, throw me a bone will ya?

[Edit] On another note, following Perez's victory in Baku, we have Horner making some comments that seem designed to undermine Perez's confidence, not increase it: “Winning the sprint race yesterday, obviously he got a little bit lucky with the timing of the Safety Car [in the grand prix],” said Ho...

It's been revealed accoring to Autosport that Massa is looking to challenge the result of the 2008 Singapore GP , as aul' Bernie has stated that he and Max Mosely, FIA president at the time, knew of the events that took place at least before the end of the 2008 season, which was within the time allo...

If I had to guess their criteria for when to throw a red flag, it would be any time there is any debris or a car would be tough to recover. This is just from memory, but since the end of 2021 they pretty much throw a red if there was contact or the car is in a tough place to recover with cars on th...

Oh boy. So, the first red flag was completely unnecessary. Gravel on the circuit should be taken seriously of course but there was no reason why they couldn't get the sweepers out once the cars were bunched up - even if cars picked it up in the interim it was very very unlikely to cause a puncture a...

Is it any worse than the repeated promises by Ferrari to move forward after a period of restructuring and consolidation? I'd say it is worse because the "next year" Ferrari thing at least gets a chuckle from me and I'm not picturing a mass of violins when their PR statements are being pen...

Dear God, this drivel itself ought to be an early contender for Reject of the Year. Is this some kind of joke?

Races like the one Ocon had is the reason this site exists. Stuff of legends that we will talk about for years to come before we're swallowed by the Large Hadron Collider.

Thank you Esteban, you truly took one for the team today.

noiceinmydrink

Infinite improbability would exclude Fernando for me as I think most of us would have reasonably put money on it last week. Certainly not Williams, who we all thought were still solidly last, doing as well as the genuinely did. Outstanding start to the season.

Instead of name should have referred him "a Hungarian driver who drove two races for Jordan in 2003 and entire season 2004 for Minardi, scoring one point". Yeah, seeing the name on this website made me feel a little bit filthy. Hope for tommy the papayas were kinder in this instance of pr...

Here's another ponder that maybe you guys and gals can help me with; I noticed a news headline on Saturday that Russell had got his first win in the sprint race. So would that count as a real win in the stats and more importantly in the eyes of you fans? Obviously, it's kind of moot because of Sund...

noiceinmydrink

Genuinely in a quandary here between Max (seen some very worrying nasty personal traits in him lately. Having it against Hamilton is one thing but Checo quite another), and missing Yuki (the sort of thing Reject Gold is based on). Danny Ric was just clumsy but he's more in running for ROTY at this ...

noiceinmydrink

Probably no point in me dog-piling but it's gotta be Stroll right? Lot of slam dunk ROTRs in the past few GPs recently, at least give us somewhat of a challenge, jeez. On another note, I do share takagi_for_the_win's frustration/amusement at Hamilton always popping up in these threads. He is the mos...

So who will get the Williams seat? Especially if Logan Sargent fails to earn his superlicence? Hope Hulk to Haas succeeds this time. I would imagine it would be Schumacher in that case - Capito has had a few warm words to say if I recall. While I'm quite shocked to see the vitriol poured on social ...

noiceinmydrink

Easy one for me: Stewards - There was plenty of time to investigate Perez's infringement. Why wait until after the race, potentially overshadowing one of Sergio's greatest F1 drives? If I could speculate for a second - maybe the reason it's been delayed is because it'll only amount to a talking to ...

noiceinmydrink

Somebody please give me a good reason for a one hour delay? Apart from race control having to get their act together? There's always safety cars here so we're probably heading for a shortened race. In fairness delaying it by an hour allowed the 3 hour timer to be delayed (I think?) - I'm kinda glad...

noiceinmydrink

Some good points brought up by yourselves but George Russell takes it for me - off the pace all weekend, many mistakes, far too early on the dry tyres and just drove into the side of Schumacher. At least Latifi and Hamilton put their hands up pretty much immediately for their botches but Russell's u...

Was debating whether this post was more suitable for the Rantbox rather than this thread (because my main nomination is Nicholas Latifi without any hesitation) but I'm going to also nominate the discourse surrounding the safety car which has probably frustrated me more than it should have.

Actually yeah that's a fair point, I'd forgotten about how hapless Latifi's accident was. Threw it off the track by himself and took Bottas out in the process, scratch my nomination for Hamilton and replace it with Latifi. Still maintain that the Ferrari/Leclerc bathplug should still be the prime n...

I know people like to pile on Hamilton whenever he shows the slightest vulnerability and some folk on this forum tend to be harder than him than what's probably fair (and I'm definitely guilty of this myself in the past so feel free to dismiss this as hypocrisy on my part), but I am very surprised a...

DHM1: The fireworks. One of the leading causes for me not going to an F1 race. I thought they were supposed to be getting banned?

I'm gonna go with Yuki Tsunoda's car after being heavily curtailed in throughout the weekend. Little running in practice, didn't even get out in qualifying or the race - poor Tsunoda-san barely turned the wheel all weekend.

So, it turns out I'm going to the Austrian Grand Prix this year. Has anyone else gone? Any craic in Spielberg and any recommendations?

It's strange to think that F1 actually stopped going to South Africa for several years due to apartheid (admittedly after ignoring it). They wouldn't give a sh1t now. They could be burning townships down all year long and they'd still arrive muttering about not mixing sports and politics. A lot of ...

noiceinmydrink

My opinions on the Saudi government aside, I love this track. I was clinching myself the whole way through that qualifying session, I haven't felt that exhileration in years. That's what F1 is about for me, on the knife edge between glory and disaster.
