Ocon, 4th place was terrific from him
HM to the track for exceeding my expectations.

It's just unbelievable...that Formula 1 could be such a ridiculous melange of idiots.

Ocon - Impressive 4th place. Makes the order to hold position seem very silly.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Nevada 2023
The race was one of the best this season which given that the teams are all exhausted and the track/venue was criticised so much in advance makes it a good candidate. Slick surfaces and sane DRS zones made overtaking a skill again.
Ocon and Stroll provided unexpected results, I'll give it to Stroll as I am usually so hard on him.

Gotta be Stroll for me.

Ocon and Stroll having been much maligned through the year (Ocon mainly for being a bad teammate which I sort of get here too).

1 - Max Verstappen - For no kers all weekend long and still winning the race. Gotta give credit for that
2 - Ocon. Great driving and that Alpine radio call was just "lol"

1) Esteban Ocon: Held onto a strong points-scoring finish by merit.
2) The track: While I feel that the race owed a fair bit of its excitement to chaos like Baku, it at least had some opportunities to overtake and created some excitement that way.

1- Stroll- Fernando please let Lance back in the car please
2- Ocon- not a team player but still got a very good result

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Nevada 2023
I'm nominating Ocon, 16th to fourth is very impressive.
Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Nevada 2023
The Race - A lot of people weren't too keen about it and Thursday was a horrible look but the race and qualifying turned out so well.
Stroll - Made the most of the first SC after jumping up 10 places on the soft tires and then used the second SC to pit again to get a well-deserved 5th place.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Nevada 2023
Another one down for both Ocon and Stroll. Yes the turn 1 chaos helped but Lance played a blinder by ditching the Softs early and Esteban gets bonus points for channeling his inner Sainz from Silverstone last year especially given how far Gasly plummeted down the order

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Nevada 2023
Can only be the race itself. After the omnishambles preceding the race, I certainly wouldn't have predicted the race itself to be a cracker.
As an aside, it might be my disillusionment and apathy towards the sport returning, but I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find any of the drivers genuinely "infinitely improbable" these days.
