Grand Prix Rejects

Lewis Hamilton: One of the best drives of his career. The right driver won today.

Meatwad

I guess this season hasn't been so exciting until now. Now I'm realising just how close Sainz actually is to winning this instead of Norris. If Ferrari can keep up their pace (which seems far more tenuous than McLaren's) then Carlos might steal this at the last moment! That's starting to look more ...

Meatwad

Valtteri Bottas is my nomination here for another bad race in a season of highs and lows. That he dropped back in the first place wasn't his fault, but what happened after that was just sad to watch. The fastest lap is the only saving grace – after the earlier events I didn't even expect him to get...

Meatwad

1. Pierre Gasly for being best of the rest – you can always count on him to deliver, but it's still better than I expected from AlphaTauri. 2. Kimi Räikkönen for equaling his best result of the season with an impressive eighth place. 3. Nikita Mazepin for what may have been his best race weekend so ...

Meatwad

Gasly takes an impressive win in Mexico. Sainz finishes second and takes the fastest lap, but he is still more than a win behind Norris who took third this time. 2021 (After eighteen races): Norris 352 (8 wins, 6 2nd, 1 3rd) Sainz 324 (4 wins, 9 2nd, 1 3rd) Gasly 237 (4 wins, 2 2nd, 5 3rd) Ocon 175....

Meatwad

Yuki Tsunoda gets my vote for doing what he should do more often. He made it into Q3, then scored two points. Also some nice battles with other drivers. I hope to see more of this from him.

Meatwad

I'm voting for Alpine. It's quite embarrassing when both of your cars retire while only one other driver fails to finish. Not Alonso's best race either, though he did provide some entertainment.

Meatwad

A win for Sainz in Austin brings him closer to Norris who places second. Tsunoda gets his third podium of the season after an impressive drive, ahead of Giovinazzi who takes his best result of 2021. Norris gets the fastest lap point. 2021 (After seventeen races): Norris 337 (8 wins, 6 2nd) Sainz 305...

Meatwad

Daniel Ricciardo was pretty disappointing all weekend. Dishonorable mention to Aston Martin/Vettel for their disastrous tire strategy – they ruined all of their chances to get points, it has been a while since a team got it this wrong.

Meatwad

Esteban Ocon for finishing without a pit stop.

Honorable mention to Leclerc for a very good performance, I didn't expect him to have such good pace compared to Bottas and Verstappen – he even looked like a potential winner for a quick moment.

Meatwad

Gasly wins in Turkey while Norris and Sainz take the other two podium spots. Everyone finishes, Mazepin in the dreaded 11th place. Sainz takes an extra point for fastest lap. 2021 (After sixteen races): Norris 318 (8 wins, 5 2nd) Sainz 280 (3 wins, 8 2nd, 1 3rd) Gasly 212 (3 wins, 2 2nd, 5 3rd) Ocon...

Meatwad

Sainz wins at Sochi. Norris led most of the race but has to settle for second place and fastest lap after late rain and his failure to pit on time. Russell impresses with a third place. 2021 (After fifteen races): Norris 300 (8 wins, 4 2nd) Sainz 264 (3 wins, 8 2nd) Gasly 187 (2 wins, 2 2nd, 5 3rd) ...

Meatwad

At Monza, the top three in the sprint race consists of Norris, Sainz and Giovinazzi. Norris and Sainz were also the top two in the race itself (the former had the fastest lap), Stroll climbed to third place. 2021 (After fourteen races): Norris 281 (8 wins, 3 2nd) Sainz 239 (2 wins, 8 2nd) Gasly 177 ...

Meatwad

McLaren for getting the 1-2, and even without the crash, they were looking at a possible win and double podium.

Honorable mention to Russell for scoring points!

Meatwad

Hamilton and Verstappen for another crash, the championship contenders taking each other out is the definition of rejectful (thanks for that McLaren 1-2, though). Dishonorable mentions to: Mazepin (another crash with Schumacher ) Red Bull (without the bad pit stop, Verstappen and Hamilton wouldn't ...

Meatwad

Williams was quite unremarkable after a couple of impressive weekends. It was unexpected to see both drivers crash out in Q2. Russell did a good job in the race (apart from the pit lane speeding) but was forced to retire, Latifi ended up behind Kubica who didn't even get to drive on Friday and Vett...

Meatwad

1. Pierre Gasly : Amazing drive, best of the rest in both qualifying and the race. He deserves another opportunity in a top team. 2. Robert Kubica : Given the circumstances, he did a very good job. I expected him to be last (or fail to finish), but he outqualified both Haas drivers and finished ahea...

Meatwad

Gasly takes his second win of the season at Zandvoort. Sainz finishes second, and Ocon takes third place ahead of championship leader Norris who gets the fastest lap point. Kubica makes a guest appearance for Alfa Romeo, finishing an impressive (considering the circumstances) seventh. 2021 (After th...

Meatwad

Russell takes his first win in the safety car parade at Spa. Gasly and Ocon take the other podium spots as Norris has another difficult race. Half points were given, and none for fastest lap. 2021 (After twelve races): Norris 239 (7 wins, 3 2nd) Sainz 201 (2 wins, 6 2nd) Gasly 152 (1 win, 2 2nd, 5 3...

Meatwad

1. George Russell: Amazing qualifying. After all the bad luck, he deserved a lucky break regardless of the circumstances.
2. Nikita Mazepin: Fastest lap in the slowest car, I guess that counts for something.

Meatwad

So many possible nominations without a race... I could give it to race control for all the randomness (who knew the clock could be stopped?), the rain for ruining everything, Pérez for throwing away points... I'll just nominate the race itself.

Meatwad

I'm changing my nomination to the stewards. Reprimanding drivers for showing their support for human rights yet again proves that money (including that from bigots) goes above everything else in F1. #WeRaceAsOne indeed.

Meatwad

I'm voting for Valtteri Bottas, that was just embarrassing (although he did end up helping his team in a way).

Dishonorable mention to the top three teams – just one point for Red Bull, zero for McLaren and Mercedes threw away an easy win.

Meatwad

I'm voting for Esteban Ocon. I didn't expect him or Alpine to win this year – sure, luck played a part, but he did everything he had to do.

Honorable mention to Williams for finally scoring some points!

Meatwad

Ocon takes his first win of the season in Hungary. Sainz takes second, Gasly is third (and gets the fastest lap). Norris fails to finish (along with two other drivers), making the championship battle a little closer. 2021 (After eleven races): Norris 236 (7 wins, 3 2nd) Sainz 196 (2 wins, 6 2nd) Gas...

Meatwad

In the first sprint race in F1 history, the points went to Norris, Russell and Ocon. The British Grand Prix itself had Norris, Sainz and Stroll in the top three. Gasly got the fastest lap point, and everyone finished, with Schumacher getting the dreaded 11th place. 2021 (After ten races): Norris 236...

Meatwad

Charles Leclerc for coming very close to a win for Ferrari, in spite of mechanical problems.

Honorable mention for Lewis Hamilton, I should really learn not to doubt him, but that was a great recovery from the controversial crash.

Meatwad

I would nominate Red Bull for scoring no points, but today wasn't the team's fault. So I'm (again) voting for Sergio Pérez who had another pretty bad weekend. I hope we don't get a repeat of the last couple of seasons for the second Red Bull driver...

Meatwad

The result of the Austrian Grand Prix is familiar – Norris wins ahead of Sainz and Gasly. Ocon is the only retirement, Sainz gets the fastest lap point. 2021 (After nine races): Norris 208 (6 wins, 3 2nd) Sainz 160 (2 wins, 4 2nd) Gasly 118 (1 win, 1 2nd, 4 3rd) Stroll 92 (2 3rd) Tsunoda 78 (2 3rd) ...

Meatwad

Another nomination for Lando Norris, so close to pole and would have been second in the race without that penalty. Honorable mention to George Russell, he would have got my vote if he had been one place higher.

Meatwad

Sergio Pérez had a disappointing race after a good start to the season. The low points of his race reminded me of what things were like for Gasly and Albon at Red Bull – I'm expecting a lot better from him, even if he was decent apart from those few moments... Dishonorable mention to Fernando Alons...

Meatwad

Norris increases his lead by winning the Styrian Grand Prix. Sainz adds another second place (and fastest lap), Stroll is third. 2021 (After eight races): Norris 183 (5 wins, 3 2nd) Sainz 141 (2 wins, 3 2nd) Gasly 103 (1 win, 1 2nd, 3 3rd) Stroll 84 (2 3rd) Ocon 77 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Tsunoda 68 (2 3rd) ...

Meatwad

Ferrari ended up getting quite a nice points haul after what first looked like it would be a repeat of Paul Ricard.

Honorable mention to George Russell, an amazing weekend ruined by another car failure... Also Kimi Räikkönen for a great race performance after a very weak qualifying.

Meatwad

Another vote for Russell's luck . Every time he's about to score points, the car breaks down or something else goes wrong. Dishonorable mention to Williams for the very same reason – the only luck they've had is that Haas is so slow, otherwise they'd be last in the championship by now (and indeed, t...

Meatwad

George Russell is a good nomination for finishing 12th in a race with no retirements. One of his best races so far, definitely won't harm his Mercedes chances. Honorable mention to Aston Martin – a different strategy is not surprising from them, but they seem to make it work surprisingly often.

Meatwad

Ferrari went back to their worst form last year, otherwise no one was exceptionally rejectful.

Meatwad

Norris wins the French Grand Prix (and also takes the fastest lap). Gasly takes second place, Stroll is third. There were no retirements, and only Mazepin missed out on points. 2021 (After seven races): Norris 158 (4 wins, 3 2nd) Sainz 122 (2 wins, 2 2nd) Gasly 103 (1 win, 1 2nd, 3 3rd) Stroll 69 (1...

Meatwad

Gasly takes his first win of the season at Baku. Norris finishes second, Tsunoda takes his second podium in third (and the fastest lap). 2021 (After six races): Norris 132 (3 wins, 3 2nd) Sainz 110 (2 wins, 2 2nd) Gasly 85 (1 win, 3 3rd) Ocon 61 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Stroll 54 (best result: 3 4th) Giovinaz...

Meatwad

I'll go with Pirelli, with Lewis Hamilton getting a dishonorable mention (and very close to getting the vote).

Meatwad

Sebastian Vettel again, one of the most impressive races of his career (and that's saying a lot)!
