F1 Weekend Awards: US GP

Egg on Face Trophy

Grosjean is now just 2 penalty points away from a race ban after the USGP.

For the first time, this trophy is shared between two drivers.

Lance Stroll and Romain Grosjean both made fools of themselves on the first lap in the USA, resulting in numerous retirements. First up was Stroll, who bunny-hopped the curves during sector 1's S-section and plowed into the side of Fernando Alonso, causing the Spaniard's retirement. Stroll had to pit for repairs to his front wing and was handed a drive-through penalty, the least that the Canadian deserved for reckless driving like that.

Grosjean continued the carnage at the end of the back straight, as he out-braked himself behind Ocon and slammed into the back of Charles Leclerc, causing the Monegasque to spin and later retire from the damage caused. Romain would also retire, and after a stewards investigation, would later be slapped with a three-place grid penalty for the next race in Mexico.

Perhaps more concerning is the fact that the Frenchman is now just penalty points from a race ban. If he is to accumulate those extra points, he'll be the first to receive a race ban under this rule and the first since 2012, when Grosjean himself caused a pile-up in Spa. You can see why Alonso labelled some of his competitors as "amateurs" now...
