Donkey(s) of the Race

Maybe he's just not as good as people make him out to be when the car doesn't fit his liking, like, lets say, happened to his team mate last year?

Don't you know that Dan has a cracked chassis and has been abandoned by his team?

Me again, for sitting through the whole procession

I think its clear to see that Vettel would not even beat the Manors in this car

1. Grosjean - As we saw, pulling straight back in on Stevens was a brainless move.

2. Mclaren - Terrible car again and retired, plus having to save so much fuel while being so slow......

3. Marshalls/system. - Blue flags being waved at everyone

honrable mention to rosberg with what has now become his traditional weekly foot in the mouth comment

"Qualifying cost me the victory"

laughable

"Qualifying cost me the victory"

It's not so laughable with Mercedes. They stage-manage the races. For instance the one in front gets the undercut on pitstops. That's a huge advantage if you only have one car to compete with, so among these two the pole position is important. The race effectively happens on Saturday as we saw today there's not much between them. Were they even more than 3 seconds apart at any time? In such a close battle having the undercut is a huge advantage, and that's decided by qualifying position as they are pretty similar on starting ability so there is little chance for position change into turn one.

Face it, Rosberg is not Jean-Denis Deletraz and Lewis is not god. Without the most ridiculously superior car since 1988 he would still sit at one world championship. He only had to beat one guy.

McLaren. When they are bad they are BAD! Not My Earth Dreams BAD, but close.

MCLAREN!!!!!. The McPile of McCrap they have is not funny anymore. How can they be so McSlow, and yet so McThirsty.

HONDA for putting McLaren in this position.

They are going to have a job convincing Alonso to stay next year unless they can show some iota of actual progress.

Oh no not this crazy talk again about how Lewis can only beat Nico when Nico is sabptaged. NURSE!

Rosberg got the undercut more than once this season, despite being behind Lewis.

Nico did only get in DRS once all race, when Lewis got caught in traffic. He immediately pulled out several tenths anytime and everytime he needed to.

But keep clinging on to any shred you can


I agree that Nico is no Deletraz. Actually, he isn't an over the hill Mark Webber (who really ws held back by his team) either. Lewis has also taken on and matched/beaten Alonso. Hamilton must be somewhere close to Sebby on talent!

McLaren. And mention to the innocent squirrel, which fortunately saved its life.
