Donkey of the Race- Germany

Who has been a Donkey over the race/weekend

[N4D13]

I'm tempted to say Massa but I think that the accident in Turn 1 was too close to call. Perhaps Räikkönen for playing bumper cars and failing to score while his teammate ended up in fifth place?

Charlie Whiting. He think pilots run out of track for fun and no gain and then try hurt Marshall by keep race going lap with car stranded blind corner and send them running to recovery.

Ferrari and Renault engine departments.

A Merc with a broken wing can still go from 20 to 3rd without breaking a sweat. It's utter humiliation.

honorary mention to Macca for building a car so shit it can't even score properly despite a Merc engine.

No real donkey. Maybe Mercedes for the rear brake of Hamilton, Massa for cutting through the racing line & Sutil for spinning off & stalled the car

LOL, a post in which someone got every single fact wrong - attaboy!

- Hamilton: it was the front brake disk
- Sutil: Spin was caused by car failure
- Massa/K.-Mag: normal first lap incident - hence no penalties

Main donkey IMO is the officials.

Quite often I have called for less SC's for incidents where a car is well out of the way or a tiny bit of debris is on a kerb, but today we seemed to go the other extreme.

I mean Kyvat had a fire and we had marshalls out, straight on from a heavy braking zone. Even if drivers slow a brake failure would have put a car into the braking zone where they were and similarly when Sutil's car was stranded in mid track and they ask Marshalls to cross the track and stay there where another car could spin.

After all we have seen a decent amount of cars spin there over the years.

IMO no real driving Donkeys today.
