Just watched Bern... great first few laps, great final few laps. It deserves at least one post of appreciation!

Even though I've also nominated Vettel for IIDOTR, I'm putting him up here for doing half a protest. Rob Dylan's post in the race thread is also my feeling.

UncreativeUsername37

Renault - For being relevant
Stroll - For beating his teammate with the previous spec engine
Vettel - For making great television

How many nominations do you get counted?

UncreativeUsername37

On pole: not Mercedes! On the second row: Ricciardo!

What will Verstappen do from mid-grid? Why do we need three DRS zones at Gilles Villeneuve? Will a Renault actually finish in the top six on pace?!

UncreativeUsername37

If I was a cynic, I'd say some of that budget will be used to pay the world's finest accountants to be as creative as possible when crunching the numbers, and do so in a way that makes it damn near impossible to get caught without getting GCHQ involved. I still remember Christian Horner's comment t...

Tom Gaymore for not knowing what driver the saturated yellow #22 was.

Oh, Monaco. I'll say Alfa Romeo.

UncreativeUsername37

An appropriately tense Monaco. Or you could say another race of Hamilton whinging the whole time and then winning because the Pirellis always last 50 km longer than advertised. But I enjoyed it.

du Chalard finally delivers on his pace! And I love how the race pretended like it would be boring.

I thought Ferrari would at least have the courtesy to win at the actual track where they were fastest earlier in the year. Not only did they not win, they bizarrely waited to swap their drivers, even when there were actual attempts at moves, removing "China made us nervous" as a decent exc...

Hey, how about I put up the answers to my pre-season quiz before the European season starts? And by quiz, I mean pack of deceptively worded phrases that got three whole respondents. Eventually. 1.

Racing Point were the only entity making me think "look at them going better than expected". Well, and Mercedes, but that's just depressing.

Ricciardo has saved me from having to nominate something from Friday.

UncreativeUsername37

It wasn't like the previous two years, but it wasn't a bad race.

And Ferrari may be determined to lose, but we still seem to have a good championship battle.

McLaren's tyre set mistake is the kind of thing that shouts ROTR to me. Gasly even got sixth this time, though it was way closer than it should have been.

UncreativeUsername37

Albon from the pit lane and in a situation that you'd expect to reduce confidence is the only thing that stood out to me... maybe Pérez after the way Racing Point's season has looked, but that's really just where they should be....

well piquet sure made a great decision to leave

I'm going count every time I hear 1,000th F1 race versus 1,000th World Championship race in commentary during the weekend. Ideally such a decimal-centric milestone won't be made a big deal of, but I doubt that.

UncreativeUsername37

Last time, Gasly had the excuse of not being run again in Q1 and a race where overtaking was difficult... he better stop finishing among the LMP2s or he's going the way of Kvyat, except there'll be no free Toro Rosso seat... or will there? Who's the replacement?

It's the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix. I don't know anything about the order except Leclerc is underperforming.

That was a weird race from the start procedure to the chequered flag, even for Formula E. Also, if di Grassi loses the title by 8 points, I'm going to be so angry with the world.

Starting on a bridge looked really cool.

It's a shame such a great battle ended that way... and a five-second penalty doesn't really make sense. If it was largely his fault, the penalty for causing a race-ruining puncture should be bigger, and if it wasn't, he shouldn't be penalised.

Do non-custom AIs make this many mistakes?

2. AdrianBelmonte_ Not much about this track is clearly, articulatably bad, a few corners look particularly fun, I guess I'd just need more speed.
