Best driver: Verstappen. HM: Russell
Worst driver: Mazepin. I usually don't pile on him, but he was giving Mick a fight in the first stint and then managed to finish a minute (?) behind which is just shocking pace.
Best team: Ferrari for their surprising race pace, Red Bull losing a podium with the slow stop put them behind.
Worst team: Williams. Not only the only reliability casualty, but it was at the worst possible moment.
Best overtake: Leclerc on Alonso.
Worst overtake: Leclerc on Räikkönen.
Best moment: Pérez pitting and getting after Bottas so we got something to be excited about in the final laps. HM: Leclerc's charge through the field (not a moment though).
Worst moment: Russell's first pitstop. HM: Pérez catching up to Bottas with traffic around, but the cameras were on Lewis.
And the race in a sentence: Quintessentially Williams and of course it was in Austria.

Best driver: Verstappen, perfection
Worst driver: Ricciardo, I don't understand what's going on with him

Upfront the race was pretty boring but in the midfield it was actually quite good, lots of cars in the mix fighting with very close pace

Best overtake: Norris on Perez
Best moment: The start, what else?

So boring that I rather watch a movie instead!
5/10 is my rating.
Posted 27 June 2021 - 17:08
Best driver: Verstappen, Sainz, Norris ... all were outstanding (finishing position reflected the cars they were in).
Worst driver: I know he had a great comeback drive, but Leclerc did involve himself in some questionable situations.
Best team: Ferrari ... what a turnaround!
Worst team: Two were disappointing ... Alpine, Aston Martin, but they are still a world ahead of Williams and Haas.
Best overtake: Norris on Perez
Worst overtake: Leclerc on Raikkonnen
Best moment: Sainz passing Hamilton (yes I know the circumstances, but it was fun to see)
Worst moment: Leclerc cutting Gasly's tire, sending him pinballing through the back markers.
And the race in a sentence: Not the worst ever, but a little bit of a letdown.
Posted 27 June 2021 - 17:09
Worst race of the season by far (at least Monaco is crippled by track layout). 3/10.
I expect next week to be similar, unless we get extreme weather.

This Syrian GP was pretty boring.

The most exciting moments during the race happened every 10 minutes when I checked the weather radar to see if the thunderstorms would hit the circuit. Nevertheless, I gave it a 5/10.
Posted 28 June 2021 - 06:54

Best team: Red Bull
Worst team: Williams
Best overtake: Cant recall
Worst overtake: The one knocking parts of Kimi's front wing
Best moment(s): Mercedes radio(s) to Hamilton

Indirectly also impacted Giovinazzi's and Latifi's race I think?

This Syrian GP was pretty boring.
The landmines didn't get tripped.
Posted 28 June 2021 - 07:48
Best driver: Toss up between Kimi and Carlos. Both made impressive gains. Leclerc would have been but for taking out Gasly
Worst driver: Tough one. Didn't see anything shocking but toss up between Ric or Seb. Ric I think. Honorary mention to Perez for being slow
Best team: RB would have got if they hadn't fluffed SP's pit stop. Merc?
Worst team: Possible there were howlers but just don't remember them.
Best overtake: Leclerc made a few, maybe his on Ocon?
Worst overtake: Perez on Norris. Nothing bad that Perez did, but I think I heard Norris say "after you, sir"
Best moment: Nothing standout: it was a sum of its parts.
Worst moment: Realising that Perez was just too slow to catch Bottas in time, despite having the better tyres and, by all accounts, car
And the race in a sentence:
Not spectacular, but plenty going on in the midfield to keep me engaged.
Posted 28 June 2021 - 11:11
Best driver: Max Verstappen
Worst driver: Leclerc, he does not seem to know where the corners of his car is.
Best team: Red Bull, of course
Worst team: Haas, who else?
Best overtake: There was very few overtakes that was not coincidental (first lap) or due to different strategies
Worst overtake: See above
Best moment: The disbelief in Merc when they realized they did not have the fastest car.
Worst moment: the last 20 laps of nothing
Posted 28 June 2021 - 11:12
The landmines didn't get tripped.
Better not give Liberty any ideas mister Senor.
Posted 28 June 2021 - 11:44
Ruined by too many DRS zones.
Posted 28 June 2021 - 15:43
Sounds like it was another yawnfest. Glad I missed it.
Posted 29 June 2021 - 16:51
My evaluation of the Styrian GP:
Best driver: Max Verstappen, I can't argue with an impressive pole position followed by perhaps his most dominant race win to date. Honourable mention for Lando Norris, who achieved the maximum possible result in both qualifying and the race.
Worst driver: Nikita Mazepin for being his usual slow self, no one else really stood out to me as performing very badly (Ricciardo was disappointing in qualifying, but I thought his race wasn't too bad apart from the loss of power which cost him several places and possibly a points finish).
Best team: Red Bull for providing Verstappen with the car to secure a dominant win, Perez probably should have been on the podium (I think he lost more time not being able to pass Norris than he did from the slow pit stop).
Worst team: Haas for not being able to compete with the others (I feel it's harsh to suggest Williams as it was one of their more competitive weekends, Latifi nearly made Q2).
Best overtake: I enjoyed Leclerc's overtake on Giovinazzi, he seemed pretty late on the brakes but he pulled that off better than his pass on the other Alfa/Sauber.
Worst overtake: It was difficult to enjoy watching Perez and Bottas pass Norris, I understand why he did it but it was disappointing to see them pass so easily.
Best moment: The first lap battle between Norris and Perez was great to watch.
Worst moment: Russell's lengthy first pit stop, which took him out of the running for points contention having run very strongly up to that point.
And the race in a sentence: Felt a bit like 2020 with Red Bull and Mercedes well clear of the rest but the other way round, with better racing in midfield than near the front.
