Donkey of the Race - Japan
I thought rather than watching the race I would get the post race threads sorted out.
I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

McHonda.
Other than that, Ericsson, Rossi and Sainz get honourable mentions for varying levels of donkeyness.

Rupert Murdoch & Foxtel.
This was on Channel 10 during The Bolt Report - "If you had Foxtel, you'd be watching the Japanese GP right now."
Don't remind me you trumped up little so-and-so who is so loyal to this country that you ditched your Australian passport for an American one. Don't gloat during a show hosted by one of your columnists, who by the way is a convicted racist, either.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I didn't watch the race, but one honourary donkey has to go to the collective media, who keep harping on about Lewis matching Senna, when others have done so before him, and even in less races.

This is one race where all the drivers definitely put forward their best behavior. Even Maldonado was s goon, h made it into the top ten for a change. Massa - Ricciado incident was pure racing inciden and bad luck for both drivers. That was a move that most drivers would not o much differently. The Steven's spin was close to donkeyness, but he controlled the situation brilliantly avoiding damage to the car or causing further accidents with other cars. In my opinion, not quite donkeyness. It was a race where it was difficult to fault any of the driver's performance.

I have to go with Ferrari. I really think they pulled a Williams (who still can't execute a pitstop) by not having Vettel pull a bigger gap on Rosberg when he had the tires to do so. Ferrari executed a lightning pitstop, but an additional one second gap on track would have easily handed him the position over Rosberg on the pitstop rotation.
Also, an honorable mention for Will Stevens, by spinning out of the race for backmarker honors. Rossi is doing OK, considering that he'd be going just as fast if he had a GP2 car... with a Honda engine."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Fuji TV and FOM. How the Mercedes weren't shown, almost.
