Grand Prix Rejects

I’m sorry but the entire race was a bore. I DVR’d the GP so I could watch when I wake up. I guess I shouldn’t have bothered. Reject of the Race: Chinese GP itself.

1. Leclerc: First podium for him and the first for a Monegasque driver since Louis Chiron in 1950. This should have been a win.

2. Lando Norris: Splendid drive to 6th

HM: Alex Albon: first points of his career (9th), meaning both Thai drivers in F1 history have scored points.

Williams for perhaps having an even worse car than they did last year. I pray their fortunes return and at least be somewhat on pace with their nearest rivals.

Unbelievable. My condolences to his family at this sudden passing.

1. Sauber: ^

2. Haas: A much needed double points finish after the last two disastrous and anonymous Grands Prix in USA and Mexico respectively.

1. Ocon: Really? He ultimately cost Verstappen the race in a boneheaded move.

2. McLaren: Anonymous throughout.

1. Haas as a whole in their home track.

He was one of the unsung heroes in saving the life of champion Niki Lauda. His death comes exactly 5 years to the day his son Sean Edwards was killed in a private testing accident.

1. Sergio Perez - Open and shut ROTR today. Hipchecked his team mate on lap one, bitched on the radio, and then took a massive chop at Sirotkin and came off distinctly second best. 2. Stewards - I know right, how dare other cars try and race for position when Lord Hamilton's around. They should all...

1. Mercedes double DNF is the obvious choice, so much so that I honestly cannot think of anything or anyone else doing something reject-worthy.

golic_2004

1. Haas for the best finish of the team's career so far with a 4th and 5th.
2. Romain Grosjean for finally having luck on his side and scoring a well-deserved 4th

golic_2004

There is no other who deserves it more than Leclerc. Note: he is the first driver from Monaco to score in F1 since Louis Chiron, who scored a podium at home, in 1950! Hats off to Sainz & Hartley for getting the job done and scoring their first points respectively and to Perez for that unexpected...

golic_2004

What can I say other than either Grosjean blowing a great result after that silly error or Red Bull colliding together? Well I also say the badly timed debris that cost Bottas the win and also debris of the tree branch. When does a tree branch ever have a chance for ROTR?

golic_2004

I think it's easy to say that Austin Dillon punted Aric Almirola out of the lead on the last lap but I see it differently from the replays. Almirola was by himself leading when he saw that the top draft was the way to go with Dillon leading his group. He just couldn't get as fast as Dillon and got t...

This morning I was just randomly looking around Wikipedia on old Grands Prix when I stumbled onto a name I didn't recognize. His name was Arthur Owen . He drove his one and only race at the Italian Grand Prix in 1960 in a privately entered Cooper. Starting 11th out of the 17 drivers, he unfortunatel...

1. Kvyat

1. Nico Hulkenberg - saved some face for Renault, and embarrassed Toro Rosso by taking that 6th place in the constructors' at the last gasp. Good job to the guy, even after the penalty he kept his head and delivered for the team. 2. Valtteri Bottas - Kept his head and beat Lewis in a straight fight...

golic_2004

1. Pierre Gasly: It might have been simply a spin without damage but it was a bit sillier than Magnussen's.

2. Renault's pit stops: You'd think they'd have learned after a slightly botched pit stop from Hulkenberg but nooooo. They were worse with Sainz's, which took him out of the race.

Here's hoping the new bodywork makes this chassis an even safer car. The changes in the driver lineup of the teams are all rather interesting. Portland is a good addition to the calendar. Which one is going to be the next new event or returning event? Mexico City seems to be the leading contender. ...

golic_2004

1. Felipe Massa: a proper finish this time and finished ahead of Alonso and Perez.

2. Max Verstappen: 1:11.044

golic_2004

1. Security: Or lack thereof...

2. Haas: Ditto to the above comments

golic_2004

1. Magnussen: How did he finish in the points with that car?
2. Ericsson: He may have retired from the race, but for a while he was in the points and held off more powerful cars before pitting.

golic_2004

1 and 2 because there is nothing that was really rejectful compared to Renault with their failures. You can blame it on the thin air, yes, but the fact that Renault had so many failures is absolutely rejectful.

Well well well. It looks like Hartley is staying at Toro Rosso afterall with Gasly as his partner, leaving Kvyat on the sidelines again.

There's also American football (Hand-Egg, as I like to call it), real football, baseball, and basketball going on too.

1. Verstappen: That last lap shows that he is championship material.

2. Sainz: 7th on Renault debut

The only moment I could imagine as ROTY is Bourdais's crash at Indy. He had the fastest speed so far when he lost control and hit the wall heavily. Imagine if that never happened. Could Newgarden still have won the championship? It is that question which answers "we'll never know".
