China: Pastor donkey of the race

[dj_bytedisaster]

The funny bit is, if they go by the word of the rules, the race was ended early and Koba loses a place to Bianchi.

Donkey of the race is definitely the waver of the Chequered Flag, and Massa must take a consolation prize for a start which was lucky not to end his and Alonso's race.

The flag-waver for sure.

Also, I think Kimi was a bit underwhelming compared to his team-mate.

I don't know how you can give it to Kimi. He gained three positions during the race, and although he finished almost a minute behind Zo, I believe that is a testament to Fred's greatness not Kimi's incompetence. And to think after Bahrain some genius wrote:

I'm afraid he[Alonso] is past his prime by now. Time to retire?

Watch the races objectively if you are capable, and get a grip lad. Fred is still, along with The Boss the best pilot in the field period. Hulk, Seb, and maybe even Danny aren't too far behind,

[rjbetty]

Maybe Rosberg today, and Seb too.

The duplicitous duo´s attitudes, more than their driving, is what seals the donkey award for me.

Honourable mention to Sauber. Wasn´t expecting much this season, but boy!

Amen Doc.

kimi, vetel - very poor today

I think it's a mixture of both: The Ferrari wasn't quite as quick as Fred made it look, nor was it as slow as Kimi was driving it. As for making up positions: One was gained because of Massa's botched pit stop, so that leaves two. And of course, Kimi had to make up positions because once again, he has qualified poorly.

[Tazio]

All fair points. I think expectations are high for Kimi, and I don't think he had a strong race, but I also don't think that qualifies him as a donkey. He finished one place behind Bottas, and ahead of Perez and I wouldn't call either donkeys, but that is just my opinion.

Like mentioned before, blue flag waiver at pit entry and the guy that waived the checkered flag at HAM a lap early.....
