Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - France 2022
There's no way I would have thought after qualifying that Merc would get a double podium so I'm saying them. I thought they might even struggle to beat McLaren/Alpine!

Re: F1 Endurance Championship
All over red rover. I'll say this, even if Mercedes are struggling this year at least their reliability is bulletproof unlike Red Bull and especially Ferrari. Russell was just unlucky with his first lap accident at Silverstone!

Re: Reject of the Race - Austria 2022
I think with the track limits, if everyone was doing it then the criteria is too harsh. If it was 1 or 2 drivers yes but not nearly everyone!
Otherwise Vettel was pretty poor for a 4-time champion, and Sainz's engine, well that a blow-up from the 80s turbo days!

Schumacher slam-dunks this for me. Saw flashes of his father in there with his reaction after the sprint!
Can't really think of a 2nd vote TBH, maybe Haas as a whole as Magnussen was just behind making it their best 2-car result in quite some time.

Re: The Gravel Trap on midfield F1 drivers
A couple I felt in the 90s were Mark Blundell not getting a seat for 1996, then Martin Brundle not getting one in 1997, despite the fact he was near retirement age, I don't think he actually wanted to. Though looking back I do feel Blundell definitely fits into the category you're citing, maybe Brun...

Ferrari really do slam-dunk it but on any other day Alpha Tauri duct-taping Tsunoda's rear wing would be reject gold.
Ferrari power units also screwed Zhou's best showing so far.
Both Canadian drivers, McLaren's team strategy and Mercedes porpoising are big DHMs too.

Re: Reject of the Race - Monaco 2022
If nobody could get RotR for 2 (or more) successive races than it's a relief it didn't exist in 1996 because I'm sure Ferrari would have got it 3 times in a row then (Canada, France, Britain) - both cars retired within a few laps each time including 2 false starts for Schumacher!

The 2 British youngsters - the country is going to be in top hands even when Hamilton retires.
Actually Latifi gets an honourable mention here as he's been pounded all season - best I've seen from him for a while.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Miami 2022
Albon is doing wonderfully at the moment so he gets my #1 vote, just a shame he couldn't beat Alonso after the penalty. Second vote goes to Russell, I did NOT expect another top 5 position after qualifying for him. At this rate Hamilton will have to support him.
