    I was thinking the same as you, and from the radio messages it sounded like Kimi did a bit too. But it turned out the team got it right. Kimi's engineer should have told him "leave me alone, I know what to do"

    That was a perfect strategy because that is where Kimi's real strength lies now. With the kind of pit-work they are doing, and the added bonus of Ferrari reliability, it was only Seb's stupid driving that kept them from having both cars on the podium. In fact I think they could have finished 1-2 if Kimi was maybe a little cleaner out of the high speed turns, and Seb wasn't the most mistake-prone driver in the points.
    Seb is my donkey of the race hands down!

    During the race - Pastor again. He forgot they even had a track the first lap and drove wherever he wanted, and still managed contact during the race.

    Before the race - McLaren/Honda for not being able to at least get a limping Jenson to the starting line

    ^^^Good call, Rollo. Yes, I'd say Renault and Maldonado are to be the perpetual donkeys all season long.

    I'm not sure I'd give Seb a donkey badge, but he certainly choked more times in this one race than I believe he has in some entire seasons. It's entirely possible that, had he kept it together, Ferrari could have scored a 2nd and 3rd today.
