Grand Prix Rejects

Thankfully, we won't have more points-scoring positions than participants this time!

My prediction is that Lawson will win the title with his slight extra experience, though Antonelli has very good chances too. The more proven drivers in slower cars will probably need DNFs for those two.

Valtteri Bottas: A disaster, shame to see his career end on such a low.

Dishonorable non-F1 mention to Eurosport for cutting off the Formula E broadcast to show bathplugging cycling.

They should let someone who actually cares about the series have the broadcasting rights.

Meatwad

Lewis Hamilton: A great recovery from a disastrous qualifying. Leclerc and Verstappen similarly gained a lot of positions, but doing it with the slightly weaker Mercedes was still more impressive.

In Abu Dhabi, the four-way fight for second place (down from five after Alpine replaced Ocon with Jack Doohan) was won by Gasly, helped by his first Grand Prix win of the season. Out of the other remaining contenders, Tsunoda placed third, Stroll fifth and Magnussen seventh (with fastest lap). As fo...

Meatwad

Meanwhile the fight for second is very close. Even Magnussen of all people could end up finishing runner-up with two good races behind him. No less than five people gunning for that second spot will make the rest of the season worth watching. After Qatar, we still have a five-way fight, with just 1...

Zhou Guanyu: Points! His best weekend in F1, nice to have a good result for Sauber.

Meatwad

Stewards and race control: At best incompetence, at worst manipulation. Sheer idiocy.

Meatwad

Colapinto is going to end up beating Sargeant with a lot less races! I also love that Piastri is winning the constructors' championship all on his own in this universe too, even despite a 1-2 for Alpine. Amazing that Piastri still hasn't beaten Russell's win record - the suspense is killing us. Bot...

Meatwad

I guess I'll go with Mercedes – the best pace they've had in a while with Russell dominating and Hamilton climbing from tenth to second.

Meatwad

Ocon's pit stop attempt definitely wins this one for me too.

Meatwad

In the Brazilian sprint, Piastri wins ahead of Gasly and Lawson. However, Piastri again fails to win the Grand Prix, only finishing fourth after a penalty – the first time since last year that someone else has won two races in a row! He set the fastest lap, though. Ocon won with Gasly second, giving...

Williams drivers: Did they bring back Sargeant? Three wrecks in one day.

Dishonorable mention to Stroll.

Meatwad

Alpine: Definitely the highlight of the day!

Meatwad

Colapinto is going to end up beating Sargeant with a lot less races! Today's race was unusually weak for him, but things are still looking good! Piastri had the chance to break Russell's win record this weekend... but he'll have to try again next week! In Mexico, he could only finish second behind ...

Meatwad

Kevin Magnussen did an amazing job, best of the rest and even beat Piastri.

Meatwad

My nomination is the entire Red Bull family: Red Bull Racing lost second in the WCC to Ferrari. Verstappen was deservedly penalized for dangerous and unsporting driving. Pérez had one of his worst weekends ever (as disastrous as he's been lately). Tried heroics with the fastest lap but lost to Lecle...

Meatwad

In the United States sprint race, Magnussen takes the win ahead of Piastri and Tsunoda. In the race, Piastri returns to winning ways, equaling Russell's win record from two years ago. On his return to RB, Lawson follows up an eighth place in the sprint with a second place in the Grand Prix. Colapint...

Meatwad

Liam Lawson: Points on return! Well done!

Honorable mention to Colapinto for a similarly impressive drive.

Meatwad

Stewards: Pathetic. Some drivers get penalized while one doesn't even get investigated for doing the same. Ruined a good race.

Dishonorable mention to Hamilton for one of his worst weekends, would have deserved ROTR on most weekends.

Meatwad

Franco Colapinto again. Should have got the seat for the whole year, he's so much better than Sargeant even with little experience.

Meatwad

Also interesting to see whether Colapinto can beat Sargeant. I expect Antonelli to be dominating next year (unless Perez is sacked and replaced by suitable candidate for this) I'm predicting Colapinto to finish ahead based on his first races. In all three races, he's done better than Sargeant did i...

Meatwad

In the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Piastri takes his eleventh win in a row and clinches the title with seven rounds to go. Now his only remaining target will be to beat Russell's record of 18 wins in a season. Colapinto improves on his debut performance by finishing second, while Bearman, replacing the b...

Meatwad

Carlos Sainz Jr.: Threw away a good result and also ruined Pérez's best race in ages. Thanks for helping McLaren, Colapinto and Bearman, though!

Meatwad

Franco Colapinto: Simply magnificent, showing Williams made the right decision.

Honorable mentions to Bearman and Albon.

Meatwad

Piastri continues his winning streak in the Italian Grand Prix, also setting the fastest lap. He might even be able to clinch the title two weeks from now in Baku! Magnussen finishes second, but third place is the big surprise: Franco Colapinto makes his debut, replacing Sargeant, and immediately do...

Meatwad

Haas drivers: Hülkenberg spent most of the weekend crashing, while Magnussen had a much better race for the most part but ended up getting a ban.

Meatwad

Ferrari for coming up with the right strategy for once, and doing it in their home race!

Honorable mention to Colapinto for a very mature race weekend – he drove like he had been there all season, and immediately overtook Bottas in the WDC.

This definitely!

Who knew he'd go one better than in FP3?

Meatwad

I guess Williams: One car wrecked in FP3, and any chances of points were ruined by the disqualification from qualifying. Decent race, but they could have done so much more...

In the Dutch Grand Prix, Piastri takes the win. Gasly finishes second with Stroll third. Piastri sets the fastest lap. 2024 (After fifteen races): Piastri 396 (14 wins) Stroll 211 (5 2nd, 4 3rd) Tsunoda 192 (1 win, 3 2nd, 3 3rd) Ocon 178 (3 2nd, 1 3rd) Gasly 167 (2 2nd, 5 3rd) Magnussen 166 (1 2nd, ...

Esteban Ocon, I guess: Ninth in an Alpine is a great achievement.

Meatwad

Russell's car for being underweight.

Meatwad

Piastri takes yet another win at Spa. Ocon places second, Stroll third. The fastest lap was set by Piastri. 2024 (After fourteen races): Piastri 370 (13 wins) Stroll 196 (5 2nd, 3 3rd) Tsunoda 184 (1 win, 3 2nd, 3 3rd) Ocon 166 (3 2nd, 1 3rd) Magnussen 160 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Gasly 149 (1 2nd, 5 3rd) Zho...

The Hungarian Grand Prix gives Piastri another win. Tsunoda and Stroll join him on the podium. Fastest lap is set by Sargeant. 2024 (After thirteen races): Piastri 344 (12 wins) Stroll 181 (5 2nd, 2 3rd) Tsunoda 176 (1 win, 3 2nd, 3 3rd) Magnussen 150 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Ocon 148 (2 2nd, 1 3rd) Gasly 137...

McLaren: It's rare that a team takes a 1-2 and comes off so negatively. Fun to watch, but not the way to run a team.

Meatwad

The drama: Soap opera on four wheels.

Meatwad

Sergio Pérez: Absolutely useless – his performances have been so awful lately, it's not even unexpected, but this weekend was especially abysmal.

Meatwad

Williams: A great result for Albon, that should ensure 9th place in the WCC for them. Sargeant wasn't very far away either, in what was one of his best weekends.

Honorable mention to Hamilton for breaking the win streak and more records.

Meatwad

At Silverstone, the winner is Piastri, to no one's surprise. He dominates the race, beating second-placed Stroll by 44 seconds and setting a fastest lap over 1.1 seconds faster than anyone else's. Tsunoda was a similarly distant third. Sargeant misses out on a podium, but fourth place is his best re...

In the Austrian sprint, Piastri wins ahead of Magnussen and Stroll. Piastri also wins the Grand Prix in dominant fashion, setting the fastest lap on the way. Magnussen repeats his second place. Gasly finishes third ahead of Ocon, the Alpine duo having been responsible for most of the drama in a race...
