Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Abby Dabby 2022
1. Sebastian Vettel. Fought all afternoon, a nice farewell for the lad.
2. Amaury Cordeel. The bloke was an F2 meme for most of this season, but he looked like a proper driver this weekend, excellent effort.

Reject of the Race - Abby Dabby 2022
1. Mick Schumacher . Bizzare and idiotic move on Latifi, illustrating exactly why he's been turfed out for Hulkenberg. 2. Valtteri Bottas . Utterly crushed by Zhou all weekend, he should be worried about 2023. Honourable mention to Mercedes , their race pace dropped off a cliff after five laps, unsa...

Morning everyone The ranks of GP Rejects are populated with drivers who pottered about with meagre success in various series before getting their lucky break in Formula 1, and doing well enough to keep their Reject status. But there's also a subcategory of drivers who, while their F1 ventures were u...

1. Kevin Magnussen. That was an F1 moment we'll remember for years to come.
2. Charles Leclerc. Finished 4th in a car that was sticking out of the barriers on lap 7.

2. Stewards. They forgot to give Tsunoda the command to unlap himself during the SC, galaxy brain stuff.

1. Ross Chastain. No, I still don't believe it either. Actually managed to make a Playstation move work to lock himself into the championship four at Phoenix next week.
2. The mariachi F1 theme. A nice touch for the weekend.
Nothing in the race was IIDOTR worthy.

1. Mercedes strategists . Utterly dismal choice to switch both cars onto hards, looking at how Ricciardo went on the softs surely they should have left Russell out on the mediums and bolted on softs for the last 20 laps. I think Red Bull had enough in the tank to cover, but when Brackley are three r...

Dietrich Mateschitz 1944-2022
It's been rumoured for a while that the founder of Red Bull was in poor health. Given that Mateschitz was the main driving force behind Red Bull's motorsport division, I wonder just how secure the future of their F1 teams is.

1. Daniel Ricciardo. Perfectly judged the conditions and took advantage of Alpine's implosion to shadow Norris and take what could be his last top 5 finish in Formula 1. Excellent stuff.
2. Lance Stroll. Brilliant qualifying and finally a top 6 finish this season, bravo!

1. Nyck De Vries. Setting an absolute gold standard for last-minute F1 debuts, an excellent weekend for the lad. Has also likely killed off Latifi's career in one shot.
2. Zhou Guanyu. Finally snapped Alfa's pointless streak, and did so while comprehensively demolishing Bottas.

2. Nicholas Latifi. De Vries has nailed the coffin shut on his F1 career.
Honourable mention to Daniel Ricciardo's car for breaking down at the worst possible place on the track.
