Re: Reject of the Race - Italy 2021
Alpha Tauri for ending their interesting in their home race within 3 laps or so in the era of ultra reliability. Also look at Mazepin for continuing to demonstrate that he's a massive twat. Not going for HAM & VER, cos as stupid as the crash was, the race was much more fun with that happening.

This is one of those where it's less Infinite Improbability and more Slightly Better Than Would've Been Expected Drive of the Race.
I'd go with McLaren for a solid 'best of the rest' day and overhauling the rest of the midfield, even on two different strategies.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Azerbaijan
The drivers on the podium are the obvious calls. I'd put Seb and Gasly well ahead of Perez for IIDOTR though, cos Perez is in a race winning car. With Verstappen out and Merc choking, he should win. That's part of his job at that team.

Vettel. No drama, no mistakes, overcut on two drivers. Good weekend for Seb.
Norris. Another good result for Norris, who not only finds himself 'best of the rest' after Red Bull and Merc, but is actually 3rd in the Championship ahead of Bottas and Perez.

Not a new phenomenon, but Max & Lewis disappeared off up the road at 1s per lap and then late on, Verstappen, Bottas and Perez were all able to take stops for fastest lap attempts with no danger of further track position loss.
It just seemed even more blatant than normal today.
