Rosberg gets my nomination, for obvious reasons, even though it can't be that terrible to finish second.

Ferrari also need to get a huge donkey award in this one. 10º and DNF at their home, which happens to be the cathedral of engines, is an appalling result.

Rosberg.
KMag, a tad over aggressive. It makes me worry for Verstappen, more than anything else.

no real donkey's
although i nominate Hamilton's engineer for telling him to hang back instead of attacking
which is ridiculous considering that the tires get worse towards the end of the race and he was clearly catching up to Rosberg

Nico for handing the win to Ham.
Ferrari for being donkeys.

Rosberg - He made two mistakes which if honest mistakes, then deserves a mention and if it was to hand Hamilton a race win, then it also deserves a mention

Stewards - In my opinion Magnussen's incident was a racing incident like Rosbergs in Spa. A tad clumsy, but one of those things.

Ferrari - Do have such a donkey at Monza is poor

Ericcson - He ran way longer than anyone else while last, and that weird strategy left him last. Just very slow and the strategy seemed to highlight that fact.

I amend my donkey to include the stewards for the magnussen penalty. it was a poor decision, probably given on reputation than the actual incident.

anthony davidson, had a good analysis of the incident and he pointed out that the difference here was that bottas knew when to back out and did not turn into magnussen.
the fact that Rosberg has been fined, admitted his mistake, and apologized would indicate that it was far from a pure racing incident
Also bottas was slightly in front coming into the corner, but magnussen actually was a nose ahead in the middle of the corner.
as opposed to being almost a car length back and trying to turn into your teammate and clipping his rear tire.

but i do agree that the magnussen should not have been penalized for this

Thought the stewards for the penalty on Magnusson ,and as said Hamiltons engineer who needs his P 45 !What stupid advice ,luckily Lewis ignored the bad advice
