Re: Reject of the Race - Miami 2022
My only nomination is Mick Schumacher . He's a complete bust, full stop.

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Japan
Race Control needs to get their shite together. I normally point to NASCAR (see: this year's Roval race) as the poster child for dismal officiating, but F1 seems intent on taking that distinction given how god-awfully this race was run. Issues like the aforementioned make F1 that much more of a cho...

The whole grid minus Mercedes should be ashamed of themselves. They had six years to get their sh*t together and it's all resolved to this.
I thought 2015 was the worst of it, but nope. Everyone else's performance is just a slap in the face to the sport and its fans.
