Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have new contenders for ROTR

Ooofff, got a few here.. That idiot who threw a flare on the track during qualy : Well done bonehead Ferrari (Sainz' stops) : These days, it just wouldn't be a complete race if Ferrari didn't make a mess of SOMETHING Mercedes : Super lucky that Russell was on the ball, everyone else was fast asleep ...

Pacific Edge

My nomination is the hard tyre, no-one thought it was good for the race, and suddenly proved them all wrong, 100% definition of improbable

Pacific Edge

Time for the regular Ferrari F1 award (That is how it is starting to feel) Ferrari: Blew ANOTHER one, this is fast becoming a manual on how NOT to run a title challenge season. They seem to have a never ending list of ideas on how to do this. Haas: A relatively anonymous race, failed to capitalize o...

Pacific Edge

Sainz: Ferrari tried desperately to ruin his race, and he soldiered on. Class.

Pacific Edge

1st: Ferrari. Another ROTR, on their way to a possible ROTY if this keeps up. Multiple errors in one race. Oh for the days of Ross Brawn....

2nd: FIA VSC screw up. Hopefully a one off

Pacific Edge

Team Haas as a whole: Looks like they have shed the Haas of the past 18 months like a dead skin

Pacific Edge

Ferrari: Another engine in the bin, this is going to come back to bite them later

Pacific Edge

1st: Extinction Rebellion. Didn't see their "protest", but what they did was mind numbingly thick, so, 1st place from me too.

2nd: The Sky commentary team Really made me happy the British GP only comes round once a year. Nauseating.

3rd: Tsunoda That's teamwork. Scruffy.

Pacific Edge

Dreamed that I was working for Aston Martin, and Toto was running the team. I was busy loading some crates, and Bernie Ecclestone put one or two onto the trolley I was using. I wake up this morning, and what do I see? Otmar Szafnauer is no longer in charge of A.M.

Alpha Tauri's luck Lady luck didn't just desert Alpha Tauri, she tripped them, kicked them in the head then left.

Pitstop mishaps Some for both Verstappen and Hamilton, putting them together,

Perez Blew a podium

Pacific Edge

Only caught highlights of the last few laps, but something stood out that I'm surprised no one has mentioned.

Formula 1.5 I'm against BoP, handicapping, etc. (Call it what you like) But when you have everyone except the top 3 a lap down, there's a problem.

No change at Alpha Tauri

For such a mess of an event and so little racing, I actually found quite a lot of nominations here. Russell: If anyone here had suggested he'd qualify 2nd, they would be told to maybe get off the site and get some sleep. If that drive was not infinitely improbable, then I don't know. Red Bull Mechan...

Pacific Edge

TBH, I think the FIA/FOM were in a no-win situation, had they cancelled the race, they would have been hit by not only refunds, but also people criticizing them for not having a minimum race so Russell could get a podium. So.... My nomination goes to Perez, even Mazepin managed to make it to the grid.

Pacific Edge

Tsunoda: Same mistake twice in the same race? Well done.

Kimi Got all flustered on the radio, then took it out on Vettel

The Alfa mechanic: That was sharp thinking, and good awareness

1. Kimi Raikkonen . A 20-year racing veteran apparently confused by the novel concept of "slipstreaming". Bonus points for hitting his teammate. . This ^ Must be the effect of being teammates with Vettel all those years, an established driver making rookie errors. Mazepin: Was a minute be...

Alpine: actually had a good race, and were in a good place when it mattered.

Schumacher: Kept that awful Haas in touch with something that resembles civilization

Ricciardo: Did well to bounce back after a bad qualy.

HM: My cat who was sitting on the arm of the chair watching the racing

Pacific Edge

Can't choose between Ferrari and McLaren Both teams had their s**t together and were fighting for places they had no business fighting for. Good all round performances by the Maranello and Woking squads.

Pacific Edge

Points finish: Alpine Their results were greatly flattered by the mistakes of those ahead of them. Some of them were: 3rd: Perez Made a rookie error, got lucky and got away with it, then made another mistake, a tardy day at the office. 2nd: Bottas Was just.... slow... then had a hand in the collsion...

1st: Tsunoda: Even if he has a wild driving style, he made it work, and got the job done. Can be well chuffed.

2nd: Perez: Kept his head up after the early setback, and bought it home with a decent points haul to boot
