Grand Prix Rejects

Michael Masi. Get the **** out of this "sport".

Charles Leclerc the contact with Verstappen was bad enough, but carrying on with the damaged wing was dangerous, and the flying debris could have caused Hamilton serious injury.

tc3j3r

Sebastian Vettel a tad obvious perhaps, but sometimes the obvious choice is the right choice. Dishonourable mention to the TV director. Cutting away from Vettel just as the Stroll collision was obviously about to happen, to show a pointless shot of the crowd. Directors have an irritating habit of c...

The Official Driver of the Day Award: Kubica

tc3j3r

Kimi Raikkonen - idiot move cost his team any mathematical chance of the constructors Championship.

Dishonourable mention to Rosberg's throttle for depriving us of a battle for the win.

tc3j3r

Lewis Hamilton's hair. Awful.

tc3j3r

Updated for Monaco & canada. The Lynch Mob Mentality debuts in joint 54th, while Romain Grosjean jumps fromn 21st to 15th.

tc3j3r

Enoch and Jamie would be proud of that abstractness

tc3j3r

No official RotR has been awarded. Can we have an official decision please?

Biscione wrote:Just realised no ROTR was officially nominated for this event,

You never awarded RotR for Monaco either...

tc3j3r

Romain Grosjean for his sheer arrogance in expecting Stevens to vanish into thin air.

tc3j3r

Max Verstappen - rookie mistake for the crash, which indirectly caused all the furore over Hamilton and Mercedes.

tc3j3r

Updated for Bahrain & Spain. I decided to count Renault engines separately from the Renault team, so they debut in joint 54th, while McLaren rise from joint 48th to joint 29th.

tc3j3r

Ferrari strategists - leaving Raikkonen out too long before his last stop cost him a chance of victory.

tc3j3r

Updated for China. The Chinese GP marshals debut in joint 54th, joining the Chinese GP chequered flag official and the Chinese GP drain covers! It's fair to say that China doesn't have the greatest organization/infrastructure...

tc3j3r

Jenson Button for his basic error.

Dishonourable mention to Rosberg for all his moaning.

tc3j3r

IIRC Enoch refrained on that occasion because he made the race more exciting by bringing out the safety car.

tc3j3r

I love Horner's comments!

tc3j3r

Updated for Malaysia. Marcus Ericsson joints the leaderboard in joint 54th.

tc3j3r

Marcus Ericsson - you have to be seriously rejectful to get beached in the gravel at Sepang.

tc3j3r

IIRC he was let of for that race because Enoch got fed up of giving it to him all the time. Edit: I found his original post when he awarded it to Karthikeyan instead: I'm rather amazed at how the same nominees have kept cropping up - not unjustifiably - every round this year. I couldn't be more bore...

It was not one single incident (the website & RotR award didn't exist in 1997), just that over 14 years Schumacher accumulated more RotR awards than anyone else. Possibly part of the reason was that as a 7 time World Champion, he set such high standards for himself that any blunder was likely to...

tc3j3r

I've decided to keep it as one list, unless everyone objects. If we started again, it would take years for the list to become interesting, since virtually no-one would have more than one RotR for the first few years. For posterity, here is the final Jamie/Enoch era leaderboard: 1) Michael Schumacher...

tc3j3r

McLaren. They're a joke.

tc3j3r

Updated for Singapore. Uunspecified foreign substances debut in joint 53rd.

tc3j3r

Updated for Monza. Ferrari jump from 9th to 6th, strengthening their position as the most rejectful team.

tc3j3r

Updated for Spa. Hamilton jumps from 8th to 5th, while Rosberg jumps from joint 15th to joint 13th.

tc3j3r

Updated for Hungary. Grosjean jumps from joint 27th to 20th.

tc3j3r

Updated for Hockenheim. Race control becomes one of very few non-driver/teams to get more than one RotR and consequently jumps from joint 56th to joint 30th.

tc3j3r

What has been the best race at the new Hockenheim track? 2008 was very interesting because of the SC and... Piquet. 2010 because of the FIFTY scandal. Otherwise the races have been decent but a little predictable. Of course the old Hockenheim was stunning to watch, I kinda wish the loop-through-the...

tc3j3r

Updated for Silverstone. Gutierrez jumps from joint 41st to joint 27th

tc3j3r

BBC interviewing Anthony Hamilton, a reminder of old times!

tc3j3r

Is it bad that I didn't realize they'd changed the rules from when a race red-flagged in the 1st 2 laps would be restarted in original grid order?

tc3j3r

Updated for Austria. Red Bull GmbH debuts in joint 52nd.

tc3j3r

Updated for Canada. Mr. Talent Talent Talent demonstrates his remarkable talent by becoming the first Marussia driver to receive an untied RotR.

tc3j3r

Updated for Monaco. Sutil jumps from joint 22nd to joint 19th, while Gutierrez jumps from joint 51st to joint 41st.

tc3j3r

Updated for Spain. McLaren finally got their first ever outright RotR award, consequently leaping from joint 137th to joint 44th!

tc3j3r

"I don't care how good you are, if you've driven for HRT you're a reject."

So Daniel Ricciardo is a reject!

The Chinese GP chequered flag official debuts in joint 50th

tc3j3r

Updated. Maldonado climbs from 8th to 4th. 5 years ago today that this leaderboard was created!
