Norris & Piastri are around where their car is. Maybe Norris outperformed it slightly, but not by much.
Russell's charge through the field was an ingenious solution to his own terrible qualifying, so that rules him out.
Ditto Perez, albeit less extreme.

Enforcer

Zhou: Did he forget to put his car in gear or something? Terrible start, which he then compounded by punting Riccy into the Alpines. Finished 16th after qualifying 5th. Out of 17 remaining drivers.

I won't nominate Alpine cos, as funny as it was, I genuinely think they were punted.

Tsunoda to Red Bull to slay Max.

Enforcer

Media already have Ricciardo in the seat.

Reckon RB's main motivation here is getting a look at Ricciardo, to see should he replace Perez. De Vries' lack of performance has just given them an easy excuse. Be interesting if he's beaten by Tsunoda.

Lawson will come in next season.

Gotta be Ferrari for successfully being nowhere after the Safety Car, or Aston Martin for being nowhere before and after the Safety Car. sTroll's amateur rejoin into Gasly just iced the cake. Could honourable mention Alpine too, I suppose. Gasly was barely scraping the top 10 when Stroll deleted him...

Hamilton: "Waugh!"

Mercedes generally: Destroyed by Ferrari, beaten by a McLaren and an Aston. If both McLarens had been running updates and one of Aston's drivers didn't have broken wrists, they'd have been scraping for 9th & 10th.

Honourable mentions:

Russell: Poor error.

Stroll: Slow all weekend.

But it's between Ted "Stop being mean to Lando" Kravitz and Nyck de Vries for his incredibly amateur attempt on Magnussen. Talk about demonstrating why you don't sign a driver off the back of beating Latifi.

I'm curious about the Some of the Russell dislike I see. You're only sort of hinting at it here... but is it just the incongruity of some of his actions with his image? Overall, he doesn't seem that much more egregious that others whom I do have a more favorable opinion of. (I know I've asked about...

Enforcer

Ocon

End of discussion.

Enforcer

Sainz, Perez and (S)Troll all had amateur moments, with poor pace thrown in for the latter two, but George Russell's rejoin into Perez was cringier imo, so I'll go with him.

Race Control / Stewards: The thing with Stroll's car is a bit embarrassing, but it can happen, and let's be honest it didn't massively impact the outcome of the race that much. Taking 3/4s of the race to realise that Alonso should be penalised is really poor though.

I think people need to stop taking the title of this award so literally. It was chosen as a play on words from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy because it sounded cool. Yes there is meant to be an element of the unexpected to it, but it’s fine when it’s just a good thing too. No one's taking th...

Vettel: Still score a point despite the best efforts of his team.

Norris: Fastest Lap, and his usual station of 'best of the rest'. Can we give this guy a real car? Please?

Enforcer

Red Bull: Pitting vs. not pitting late was a toss up, so I won't judge them for that. But they could've tried dropping Max onto Leclerc to block him? I get they told Checo they thought it'd only give Leclerc DRS, but with 2 laps to go, when it was kinda obvious he'd run out of time, surely it worth...
