Grand Prix Rejects

1st. Albon: Wouldn't have seen that coming, and he did that on sheer merit, only 1 faster car retired and gave him a spot, other than that, he did that himself.

2nd: Sainz This is why I like how he does things, not the most exciting driver, but he just puts his head down and does the job.

Pacific Edge

1st. Ferrari: Even when they were 1-2 they were looking incohesive and confused, and that's BEFORE things went really downhill. This race was theirs to lose, and they did just that, turned a 1-2 into a Merc 1-2. Bravo. 2nd: Magnussen: Drove the wheels off the car, and for once had Steiner in a GOOD...

1st. Daniel Ricciardo: Clumsy and overeager, ruined what could have turned out to be a decent haul. 2nd. Mercedes Ruined Hamilton's strategy, then told Bottas to go slower so he doesn't pass Hamilton and cause a Hameltdown. 3rd. Grosjean: 2020 contract in hand, now it's back to hitting another driv...

Renault: They needed that, well done.

Perez: Solid stuff, got himself back to the midfield fight

Giovinazzi: Had a strong run today, spent a lot of the race in 6th, made up for Spa

Pacific Edge

1st: Vettel Getting a lot more of these nominations, than he would like, but he is earning them, and definitely did so today. 2nd: Qualy 3 A farce, and quite embarrassing considering that was the top end of F1. 3rd: The amount of penalties handed out. Even without the engine penalties, the amount o...

Probably.

Unless Alfa get generous and replace GIovinazzi with him.

It's a vague bit of everything, isn't it? As someone who's not so bright on the technical side of things, so many different parts of it bear their own resemblances to different recent eras of F1 cars, from the 80s to the present. Only those weird things over the wheels seem to be new and unique. Th...

Not bad. Liking it except for the wheel covers.

1st: Russell Really pushed the Williams up the order, maybe just a few places, but still a good job 2nd: Mclaren Having a good day is becoming less and less infinitely improbable 3rd:Raikonnen Strong stuff that weekend HM: Grosjean and Magnussen Went a whole race distance with no significant impact.

Pacific Edge

1st: Ferrari In terms of gap time, they got absolutely trounced, didn't look like a team competing for the title (And dare I say this year, they really aren't)

2nd: Bottas: Threw it away, plain and simple. Ocon must be eyeing that seat now.

Yeah, we were.

Pretty cool though, because it shows the race wasn't predictable.

With the Haas drivers coming together, again, is it time Haas employs a driver consultant/manager as part of the team management? Although Steiner ripping Grosjean and Magnussen a new one publicly is amusing, it doesn't seem to be working though. They are quick drivers. but need to calm down a lot t...

1st: Mercedes Only thing I can think of was that they decided to have an entire year's worth of mishaps in one race. 2nd: Gasly Surely, time must be running out 3rd: Grosjean and Magnussen They came ever so close to going through an entire race (in difficult conditions) without hitting anything, an...

1st: Kvyat

2nd: Stroll

Great drive from both of them, really kept it together well today.

3rd: Vettel I expected him to go round the whole race feeling sorry for himself, but he proved me wrong.

Pacific Edge

What a refreshing race to watch, so nice to see a race where teams are having to improvise and having things go wrong, than just ideal conditions and the set plan race after race. Was going to nominate Haas for IIDOTR for going through an entire race, (in difficult conditions!) and not hit anything,...

Here's a ponder: remember at the start of last season, when F1 announced it was getting theme music and everyone was like "why on earth does F1 need a theme song?". What's your thoughts on it now? Is it still far too gratuitous or has it just become part of the F1 experience? I was on the...

I'm also going to throw into the mix poor TV coverage , which I am surprised hasn't been mentioned yet - there were a few moments where it seemed like the person directing the coverage was zooming to the wrong camera shots at the wrong moments and denied us the opportunity to see moments on track (...

As sure a message as any that he isn't be-all-and-end-all that he thinks he is. If something like this had happened early in his career, then I think it actually would have made for an even better driver.

No love for Sainz? Started last, made up 11 places, was a typical drive from him, kept his head down, didn't make waves, but got the job done.

Gasly Struggled around while Verstappen won it (And lapped Gasly in the same car)

Kubica Hate to say it, this really isn't working out

However... Should the Stwerards penalise Verstappen, they will get my nomination.
