Donkey of the race - Bahrain
Can't think of any particular donkeys for this race. I would probably nominate the stewards for an overly stringent punishment on Bottas which didn't really call for anything more than a slap on the wrist IMHO. No driver is standing out now that Maldonado is out of F1.

Many bad pit stops.
Haas, leaving Grosjean out until he was doing 1:41s, then two bad stops. Maybe they lost him a spot.
Penalty for Bottas wasn't justified.
Haryanto seems to have been totally outclassed.

Sauber - being out paced by a Manor abeit Wherlein is outperforming the car
Force India - a day to forget.
Qualifying - Not as bad as Melbourne but still felt short changed watching cars pitted while the clock is still runningForza Jules! Forza Michael!

Kimi - always on the podium in places where there's no alcohol.

Ferrari for another Engine retirement.
Bottas for a clumsy move that cost him, Hamilton and us a duel out front.

Bottas is a donkey. He stuck a nose on the inside where there was clearly Hamilton's racing line.

To be honest, it was about time that it happened. Had it happened with Rosberg, we would have seen Spa 2014 redux. Hamilton has a history of chopping across other drivers' bow, and for once it had consequences. The penalty for Bottas was too harsh in my opinion. Those things have happened in the first corner since the beginning of F1. It serves no other purpose than making drivers even more averse against taking risks.

As a Hamilton fan, this one is a surprise: Lewis. He should be on top of the clutch release by now. Two in a row earns him a Donkey Award. Sorry Lewis. Gotta quit chocking the start, my man.
I agree with the call on Bottas. The charge was causing an (avoidable) incident. Guilty as charged, IMO. But I still give Lewis the Donkey for that wretched start."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

...and another for Bottas - anyone that leaves their brains so far away from the track should get a 1 race ban not just a drive through. We are the customers, his actions short changed us!
Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!
you do realize that the power form the hybrid unit is not constant... It's there only for very short periods. So for a first time out it won't make a big differance
