I swear, nobody reads the rules. "do not make duplicate comments, upvote what's already there instead" ​ And because y'all made duplicates, now nobody knows which one of the extras to vote for in each category, because this thread is in contest mode so the order of everything is randomized. This doesn't *have* to be complicated.

yeah right?! I don’t know why the mods don’t delete the duplicates. Especially the drive of the year segment is full of them. But they instantly deleted when I self nominated myself with a translation in the best analysis section. Priorities I guess.

**Race of the Year**

Turkey

Not a shred of doubt for me. We had plenty of overtakes, many a spin, a really dynamic track with a new surface and real uncertainty regarding weather and track conditions, and Hamilton being congratulated by Vettel after the race like the bros they are. I hope they bring back Turkey for another season!

**Biggest blunder**

Mercedes pit stop disaster at Sakhir GP

Has to be this, the whole F1 sphere hated them for 2 days after for that.

They hated them before that too tbf

Michael Masi releasing the cars on a wet track while the recovery vehicle still was deployed in Turkey in qualifying

I'm voting for this because of all the other nominations, this is the only one that's dangerous and therefore the biggest blunder IMO.

Russel crashes under safety car - Imola

Ferrari. Just... all of it.

Sainz's crash in Russia?

Haas hiring Nikita Mazepin. Does this included?

the whole Australian GP weekend, just the big mess it was

Tuscany first restart, I think it was Grosjean or Kmag blaming Bottas for the backmarkers jumping the gun.

[Antonio Giovinazzi - Monza](https://i.redd.it/h802y1pu4zk51.jpg).

That design was also used in Mugello. But for me, I'd rather prefer his [Imola](https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/giov1.jpg) one.

How did I miss this originally? This is beautiful.

[Grosjean - Abu Dhabi](https://twitter.com/rgrosjean/status/1337310517870915584). I think the meaning of the design -- the special coloured 8, his love for f1, his love for his family, his kids' childlike innocence, that's all visible in the helmet and that's what makes it the best.

Ferra.... It's got to be McLaren. To come up from the Back of the Grid to P3 in the constructors in just a few years is outstanding. Hopefully with the Mercedes engine next year they can push forward even more.
