Donkey of the race?

[stevie_gerrard]

Kovalainen for leaving a gaping hole for Sutil to pass and then driving into him. Then for leaving a gaping hole for Fisichella to overtake him out of the pit lane.

Fisi left a big hole to invite Kovy so I can't see how Kovy can be regarded as a donkey!

I'm fairly sure it was the other way around.

Jaime Alguersuari was not sure what caused his big accident at 130R:

But it doesn't look like driver error anyway.

Ah, well I guess I'll retract my donkey vote if there was mechanical failure, can't blame him for that! Fuji TV only gave us a snippet replay and I thought he had simply gone over the kerb on the right causing the slide.

As has been noted, there was more donkeys this race than on a sunny August bank holiday at Margate.

I think I am going to give it to Kovy for a completely unnessary incident although he did pull off a cracker on Fisi. All very unfortunate for the young man and looks like he's out.

Sutil was quicker because he had less fuel than Kovy. Kovy should've played it smart and let Sutil through.

And calling him a donkey when the best overtake of the race was him overtaking Fisi kinda cancels things out for the entire race though we won't disagree with this:

Kova was opportunist and it was all about KERS on a napping Fisi, good, but not the best pass and for me he'd already got the donkey for being so slow compared to Lewis (again) and punting off Sutil, Button's dummy and pass on Kubica was a much better piece of passing

Yep. His overtake was good, it was just everything else that was crappy if I'm honest.
