Grand Prix Rejects

1) Sergio Perez: I seem to be giving lots of these "best from the rest" type of awards and this is no exception, great race from Perez to seal a good year. 2) Roman Grosjean: Made the differend strategy work and managed to leave behind punch of guys who looked stronger than him in qualifyi...

I have to give this one to Williams. Disappointing weekend all around and of course, that pit lane error.

Zergon

No-one really performed especially well which makes this one a bit harder than normal, that said: 1) Nico Hulkenberg : Best of the rest after Mercedes, Ferrari and Bottas while teammate didn´t get into points. 2) Roman Grosjean: 4 points with midfield car when starting 14th is quite good result in m...

Zergon

Ok, now this is a hard one mainly because no-one didn´t too all that badly.... I did consider Perez or Massa for losing their teammates quite clearly (Massa getting disqualified didn´t help either) and even Maldonado (which seems to be rather unpopular opinion here) simply because he´s the only one ...

Zergon

Sebastian Vettel has to take this one, that must have been one of his worst races on his career. Dishonorable mention: Kimi Räikkönen : Another race, another race ending mistake... but hey there is a (very slim) silver lining there as he managed to be the better Ferrari driver this time with only m...

Zergon

1) Valtteri Bottas: Managed to beat Red Bulls and get third place despite that crash with Räikkönen.

2) Uhmm... I really can´t think anyone else who did better than expected but I guess I give this one to Nico Rosberg just because he finally managed to beat Hamilton.

Zergon

1) Has to be the race itself, well worth staying up to watch that one. 2) Max Verstappen 4th for a rookie with midfield car is always impressive even if he did get a bit of help thanks to so many drivers not finishing the race. Honorable Mentions: McLaren Looked good for a change even if Alonso agai...

Zergon

As one could expect from a race where so few guys see the finish line, there isn´t shortage of good options as ROTR this tiem around but I have to give this to Williams as they had a horrible race for a team that has scored 3rd most points during the year. Dishonorable Mentions: Räikkönen: Another r...

However, who else is excited for the start of season two in one week?

I am. I´m actually waiting the Formula E race more than F1 race....

Zergon

Quite many good choices this time around but I give it to Nico Hulkenberg: as while Räikkönen at least had little help from Bottas closing the door, Hulkenberg messed up all on his own and in a race were your teammate is on podium, getting taken out on the first corner thanks to your own mistake is ...

Zergon

1) Sergio Perez: Impressive driving all weekend ended on a deserving 3rd place.

2)Felipe Massa: Nice comeback after bad qualifying and managed to keep himself out from trouble.

Zergon

1) Nico Hulkenberg : 6th was about as high as he could get so well done there, even if those starting crashes helped a lot. 2) Lotus : 7th and 8th is a nice result espesially considering how poor their financial situation is. Honorable Mention: Fernando Alonso : Keeping 11th place with McLaren isn´t...

Zergon

Nothing really awful this time so I give this to Carlos Sainz, as even if that front wing damage only ended up costing one place to his teammate (and he still scored point) it was still stupid mistake that should had been easily avoided.

Zergon

1) Daniel Ricciardo: That´s what you should do when your car ia good enough to fight for the podium for once. 2) Sergio Perez: Managed to score pretty much the maximum amount of points for his team and kept Toro Rossos behind him at the end. Honorable Mention: Toro Rosso: I was planning on giving RO...

The track invader and the organisers - The track invader would be a slam dunk ROTR anyway, but I've heard that he managed to escape and return into the crowd undetected. Terrible effort by the organisers. Open and shut ROTR. I'm doubly astounded that someone can break into a live major sporting eve...

Zergon

1. Force India: With Red Bull and Toro Rosso being way down the starting order Force India, Lotus and Sauber had a good chance to score decent points and that´s what Force India did. 2. Daniel Ricciardo: I honestly weren´t expecting Red Bull to score points after bad qualifying plus all the penaltie...

Zergon

First of, I try to keep my nominations about teams/drivers so FIA/stewards get a pass this time though they would well deserve to be nominated. I was going to nominate Lotus for the double retirement but since reports say it wasn´t really their fault (I didn´t get good enough look to pass my own jud...

Zergon

In other news, Trulli are going for Reject of the Second Season. They are already Rejects of the Pre-Season Testing... Oh, i wouldn't go that far. it seemed that way for a long time, but if Trulli is willing to continue testing and paying out of his own pocket, then i say "have a go". Wel...

Zergon

Easy, Williams takes this one. Managing to lose your speed between qualify and race is one thing and while that would already make them a candidate it´s hardly new thing (Toro Rosso seem to do that almost every race). But that tyre mistake... yeah, other teams would need to do something quite reject...

Zergon

1) Romain Grosjean: 3rd with Lotus, do I really need to say more?

2) Sergio Pérez: Great start and strong race overall despite slipping few places during the race.

Zergon

Well, that will be interesting to see how Villeneuve does in the series. He should have some name value that could help marketing Formula E with him being former F1 champion and all (even though I personally don´t rate him much higher than Trulli or Heindfeld) so I guess it´s good for Formula E that...

Zergon

Lots of possibly nominates this time but I just have to give this to Pastor Maldonado as three penalties in one race it two too much even for him. Dishonorable mentions: Williams: No points from a race where they should had got some rather easily. Special mention to Massa who was never really a fact...

Zergon

What a great race and unlike in few races this year, this time there´s actually lot to choose from in terms of who deserves awards. 1) Ferrari: Could have beaten at least Rosberg even without the crashes. Räikkönen´s technical problems did steal a double victory but still, great race for them and wh...

Zergon

Sad news

RIP Jules.

Zergon

1) The race itself has to get the first one since this was best race of the year (well, so far at least).

2) Vettel: Didn´t look that good during the race but somehow when all was said and done he was still 3rd.

Honorable Mention goes to Kvyat for finishing sixth.

Zergon

Lotus gets this one with their drivers crashing with each other´s on the first lap. Dishonorable mentions Toro Rosso : In any race where neither of your guys don´t get on the finish line is usually bad race and this time is no exception. Special mention on Verstappen who managed to get himself out ...

Zergon

What a great finish to a good season. Pretty much only thing I didn´t like about this season was too many penalties (both during and after the race) but that´s a minor minus considering all the good stuff that happened. Now, I just start waiting news on who will drive with what team next year (other...

Zergon

Has to be Kimi Räikkönen espesially since it looks like it was his own mistake and not some problem with the car. dishonorable mention go to Sauber who I thought had decent shot scoring points here with Red Bull and to lesser extend McLaren being in troubles and still managed to be outside of top te...

Zergon

Nico Hulkenberg: It feels that I almost always mention the guy who was "best of the rest" after the top three teams and this time it´s no differend with Hulk getting back on form after few quiet races. Felipe Massa : Much like Bottas has done in few races, he managed to keep Ferrari behin...

Zergon

Dietrich Mateschitz, just go home . Renault are like a poor woman who's about to have a tearful meltdown due to the abuse and vitriol directed at them by their partner (Red Bull). I hope Renault call Red Bull's bluff and tell them to get lost at the end of the season. I really do wonder Red Bull´s ...

Zergon

1) Pastor Maldonado : For scoring important points for the team and being the Lotus driver that didn´t crash with anyone during the race. 2) Sebastian Vettel : I guess.... Yes, it was always expected for him and Massa to get into top anyway but really, I can´t think of anything else that should get ...

Zergon

While few drivers did make a case for themselves, I´m going to give this one to McLaren. Yes, I know by now that they aren´t that good this year but I honestly expected bit better performance from them. Oh, and that double DNF didn´t help their case either.

Zergon

1) Sergio Perez: Did pretty much the maximum performance today and was quite comfortably the 7th fastest guy during the race, not bad with Force India. 2) Felipe Nasr: Qualified 16th and started 14th so getting all the way up to 9th with car that looked to be second worst in qualifying is quite nice...

Zergon

I have to give this one to Williams , I know it was always going to be hard race for them but still, that´s a quite big drop on performance.... I guess Mercedes Strategists does deserve a mention for taking Hamilton in too but at least that made the title race bit more interesting so no complains fr...

Zergon

No-one didn´t really have an outstanding performance but guess I´d give this one to: 1) Nico Rosberg : Finally he managed to beat Hamilton this year and it was pretty comfortable win too. 2) Lotus : Both drivers looked good there with Grosjean having a nice race despite crashing with his teammate an...

Zergon

Has to be McLaren. After promising qualifying, things just fell off on the race with Alonso retiring and Button being at the back of the group.

Zergon

Actually lots of good picks thsi time around but I go with: 1) Kimi Räikkönen: Yeah, maybe he was just were he should had been with problems for Vettel and Rosberg but I have gotten so used to see something going wrong for him that I feel this is warranted. 2) Valtteri Bottas: He did keep Vettel beh...

Zergon

I have to give this one to Toro Rosso , not only did they get double DNF but with Verstappen hitting Maldonado (I think) and Sainz getting penalty thanks to being too slow coming into grid (what a dump penalty) they weren´t even close to the points before retiring either. Dishonorable mention: Butto...

Zergon

As some other´s have said, no one didn´t really impress but I guess Grosjean and Verstappen deserve the points most so:

1. Romain Grosjean
2. Max Verstappen

Zergon

To me it has to be Pastor Maldonado , not because that crash (it was Button´s fault after all), but because of those two earlier mistakes that saw him to drop near the McLarens (from likely 8th place) to begin with. Honorable Mention: Red Bull: Practise sessions showed some promise but race is a who...
