And Max takes it by a Nose. Somebody give me a
Cheeseburger!
Time for another mesmerizing No Fenders zany
Awards story. Especially since I haven’t done one of these in some 24 months.
But with All of the Sir Lewis mania sweeping Italy right now…
CATEGORIES 6-10
6. Most Impressive Driver of The Year
Winner: Nico Hulkenberg
Suppose what stands out to me about thee
Incredible Hulk’, nee Nico Hulkenberg was His ability to wring the neck out of
His Haas VF-24 consistently, and always sniffing round the top ten during
qualifying and race finishes.
As Nico finished a very respectable 11th in the
Drivers standings, scoring 41 of Haas’s tally of 58 points!
Hulkenberg had either nine or ten Top 10
finishes, since I cannot tell if He retired or finished seventh in one round?
With a best being a pair of sixth place finishes in the Austrian and British
Grands Prix.
7. Most Improved Driver of the Year
Winner: Yuki Tsunoda
The Japanese driver scored the bulk of Racing
Bulls 46 points. Claiming 30 points enroute to 12th in the overall standings
with Tsnoda’s best being a treble of seventh place finishes. And while Yuki
easily outperformed RB teammate Daniel Ricciardo. Ultimately He didn’t do
enough to keep Liam Lawson from claiming the coveted, second Red Bull Racing
Hot-seat alongside F1 World Champion Max Verstappen.
8. Most Disappointing Driver of the Year
Winner: Sergio Perez
What can I scribble about either of these
drivers, that hasn’t already been said? As I gave the nod to Checo’ simply due
to His being in superior machinery, even if the Red Bull RB20 was a diabolical
handful to drive this season.
As it was just plain outright sad to see Sergio
struggling so mightily! With numerous, self inflicted crashes and spins
hastening His exidous from Formula 1…
Runner-up: Daniel Ricciardo
Conversly, the same argument cood be made for
DannyRic’, aka Daniel ricciardo’s demise from Formula 1. As the affable Aussie’
was trying to do enough to promote Himself into Perez’s seat for 2025. Yet like
checo’, Ricciardo also struggled Ah-Mighty’ at the team F1 Sherpa Claudio
coined as the little bulls, aka Racing Bulls or RB. Since I detest that Visa
Cash App nomenclature!
Yet DannyRic’ simply failed to live up to His
promise. Being dropped in somewhat bizarre circumstances. After setting the
Fastest lap at Singapore, before simply being replaced by young turk’ Liam
Lawson. Whom ironically gave the man He ultimately replaces the No. 1 salute
during Checo’s Home race!
9. Personality of Year
Winner: Max Verstappen
As the now Four-times consecutive F1 World
Champion garnered another new nickname from Mwah this season. Calling Him Max
Blunderhead’, in regards to His fiendish Dick Dastardly driving antics at
Mexico City! To the sublime drive in the rain at Sao Paolo. Whilst Maximum
Hothead’s never at a loss for words!
From threatening to put Bosom Buddy George
Russell on His F-KING’, careful Max! Yuhs know how swearing’s not allowed by
the FIA, Tisk-Tisk!

To the brilliant one-liner about if His Mum had
Balls She’d be His Dad…
10. Rookie of The Year
Winner: Oliver Bearman
Yeah, I know most would say it should be
Williams Franco Colapinto, since the Argentinian driver was also sensational.
Yet for Mwah, Oliver Bearman’s performance at Jeddah electrified me! Especially
with the then 18yr old’s sudden, unexpected call-up to deputize for Carlos
Sainz in the Saudia Arabian Grand Prix.
As Sainz needed to have an emergency Appendectomy,
with Bearman replacing Him just hours before qualifying. With the British
rookie qualifying P11 and finishing a fine seventh place, which was All I cared
about during the race! With Bearman becoming Ferrari’s youngest ever driver.
Bearman than substituted for Kevin Magnussen at
Haas a further two races. The first being at Azerbaijan, after the Dane’ had to
serve a one race ban. With Bearman finishing tenth, becoming the first driver
in Formula 1 history to score points for two different teams in back-to-back
races…
Oliver raced again for a sick Magnussen at Sao
Paolo, but struggled in the wet conditions. Including ironically, netting a ten
second penalty for a collision with Colapinto. Ultimately finishing P12.
As Bearman will now make His full season debut for Haas, while Colapinto’s currently Alpine’s test and reserve driver…
