Well, I think is pretty safe to award Rossi as Reject of the Race. But Wickens should have protected the inside line better.

Dj_bereta

And Di Grassi retired again. What a bad season for him. I think it's pretty safe to say he is effectively out of the championship already. What is happening with Audi?

Dj_bereta

I suppose King, Binder & cia are bringing sponsors to fill those seats, considering the most logical choices would be Munoz and Daly.

Dj_bereta

Even before the season end we know Honda, Palmer and Kvyat were the strongest candidates for the ROTY podium. The former for an atrocious season start to the point of Alonso skipping one race to race in Indy 500 and both Kvyat and Palmer getting fired for poor results. So, I'm going to talk about th...

Dj_bereta

To be frank, putting Gasly on the F1 ROTY podium isn't that crazy, especially after Helmut Marko saying Kvyat is better than the new Toro Rosso drivers. Although I think Hartley deserves it more.

Dj_bereta

If Martini minimum age isn't a problem, so why Williams gave a chance to Sirotkin of all people instead of Werhlein or even Massa? I understand if the Russian bring some cash for the team and looks like Williams needs money now, but the downside is: he is a rookie despite having some testing experie...

This led to another unpopular opinion: Toro Rosso only picked Harthley because Red Bull lack of options due the super license points. I'm going even further to say TR might had given Newgarden a chance if Harthley wasn't available, considering Indycar season ended before Kvyat getting kicked out.

Dj_bereta

I lost it. No way Renault is going to win the race, even if Hamilton return to his 2008-2012 persona.

At least Palmer will not escape from ROTY.

Dj_bereta

And another rejectful day in the Italian football. The national team hit the rock bottom this time. Italy needs to make a completely overhaul to be a strong team again.

Dj_bereta

My ROTY of Road to Russia 2018: 3rd - Chile: Won two Copa America titles in-a-row and was the runner up in the last Confederation Cup. In other hand, struggled in the qualify group. The team improved a bit in the last rounds, but not good enough to secure a place in the world cup. A wasted opportuni...

Dj_bereta

A big surprise. Chip made a bold move. Another surprise is the latest rumor about Leist replacing Daly at Foyt. AJ firing both drivers for the second season in-a-row? Looks crazy.

Dj_bereta

I take Portland over Glen anytime. While I confess it's nice to see cars going flatout through the esses, most of Indy races here were boring. Glen quickly turned into Indy's Hungaroring along with Mid-ohio. What worries me is: Carlin, Juncos and others still not confirmed to debut next season. Yeah...

Dj_bereta

Let's see: Hamilton winning Indy 500, Alonso retires from motorsport.

Dj_bereta

My prediction:

Williams:
Stroll
Kubica
Werhlein as third driver driving in some free practice sessions

Toro Rosso:
Gasly
Hartley
Matsushita as third driver driving in some free practise sessions

Sauber
Leclerc
Giovinazzi

Dj_bereta

1 - Ferrari: For obvious reasons. Returned to mid-90s with full force.

2 - Alonso: For following René Arnoux's footsteps.

Dj_bereta

Wales failing to qualify to world cup despite being a pot 1 seeder and the biggest positive surprise of Euro 2016 will put the team in my ROTY podium of 2018 World Cup for sure or even the overall ROTY. Although Argentina could beat it if the team manages to fail to qualify for the world cup.

Dj_bereta

I still remember how dreadful 1999 season was for Penske. I had a strong feeling of "last season for Roger Penske's team" in that time.

About 2017 Indy Roty, I totally agree with Aleshin winning it. I don't remember the last time which a driver was fired in the middle of an Indycar season.

Dj_bereta

Aleshin fired, Kvyat fired. Talk about a bad year for Russian motorsport.

Dj_bereta

Also I heard Ganassi is going to end their "B-Team", reverting to a two cars team into the next season.

Dj_bereta

An Italian driving for a Ferrari junior team winning the Italian Grand Prix. Fuoco is getting destroyed by Leclerc, but at least in one race he archived the Ferrari dream.

And congrats to Sette for showing a good form in both races. Looks like he isn't a "one hit wonder" anymore.

Dj_bereta

What a unpredictable race. First the race director calling it a "wet race" despite the track being almost dry to the point of everyone rushing into the pits on the first lap . This alone was a solid reason for a slam dunk ROTR, but Josef NewChocker deserves it more for binning it in the be...

Dj_bereta

The lady luck dodged Power in this season until this race. Winning after getting a lap down was pretty awesome.

And Kannan is out of Ganassi for the next year. It's a shame because the Ganassi + Kannan combo looked so promising, especially after TK dragging the KV to the top several times.

Dj_bereta

Aleshin fired from Schmidt Peterson. Moving to Sportcars.

To be frank, the Russian struggled in this season and gave a big repair bill to his team (not entirely his fault).

Dj_bereta

Paul Tracy's 1998 season was a total disaster. No wonder he got a race ban for the next season considering the carnage he did.

Dj_bereta

Watching the second Indy Lights race and Herta spun out from the lead in the second lap.

Dj_bereta

1 - Vandoorne: For making the most rejectful moment of the race in his pitstop and losing a couple of points as result.

2 - Verstappen: For wrecking his team mate and making the "always happy" Ricciardo losing his cool.

Dj_bereta

I'm not sure about this one but this season is probably the one with most team mate collisions in recent history.

Dj_bereta

So, LMP1 is virtually over for 2019 and beyond, considering Toyota isn't going to race "alone" for much time. Le Mans 2019 is going to be interesting with a lot of teams fighting for the victory in LMP2 cars.

I read in a Brazilian website Renault is considering Kubica the "plan A" for the next year. His performance in the testing sessions in this year is going to be the key part for the team choosing him or changing to plan B.

Dj_bereta

Formula E doing a good job stealing car brands from other racing series. First Audi quitting WEC to focus on Formula E and now, Mercedes quitting DTM to focus on Formula E too.

Dj_bereta

Rosenqvist is going to participate in the testing session with Ganassi along with Dixon. I'm starting to feel the TK days at Ganassi are numbered.

Dj_bereta

What a bold move from Helio in the start of the race in Toronto. He is back. If he keeps pushing, I think he definitely has a chance of winning this title. Will be very rewarding for him retiring with the title after so many close calls. And this is probably the unluckiest season for Power. Going to...

Dj_bereta

1 - Vandoorne: Outpaced Alonso and almost got a point. His best race so far.

2 - Hulkenberg: A rock solid race and give to me more hopes to win the avatar bet.

Dj_bereta

1- Daniil "first lap nutcase" Kvyat: If he keeps with his antics, he is going to get a race ban for sure. Third race in-a-row he made a mistake and second race in-a-row wrecking someone.

2- Ferrari: For the puncture party in the end of the race;

I'm going to give some kudos for Gutierrez for his decent race at Iowa. Lets see what he can do in the next rounds. ROTR to Aleshin and another rookie mistake. No wonder he was replaced for Toronto. Pretty happy to see both Helio and Leist winning in the same weekend. I can't remember when was the l...

Gutierrez getting consistently beaten by Ed Jones who was consistently beaten by Bourdais until the Frenchman crash. I have a feeling Dale Coyne is receiving some money from his sponsors to make this move, considering how well Davidson and Vautier were at #18. Dale Coyne is living the 1982 Ferrari ...
