Donkey of the Race

Mercedes

Pirelli

Mercedes

German channel RTL for putting 3000 minutes of commercials during crucial parts of the race. Oh joy.

captain for watching RTL ads :p

Pirelli. Biggest disgrace to F1 ever.

I like Pirelli but even they will get my vote here. Its obvious that they need a 'super hard' compound for circuits like Barcelona which are extreme on the graining.

Mercedes. Pirelli. Cater ham and Hulk.

Donkey's of the Race

Pirelli Tyres - Wow they made that race a bit of a farce (although the company are only doing what is asked)

Mecedes - The difference in pace between Quali and the Race is crazy.

Caterham - For not putting a wheel on.

Sauber & Hulkenberg - Both for running into Vergne out of the pits.

Lauda just lauching into a furious rant about Pirelli on live TV - go Niki, **** 'em!!! **** Pirelli!

Forgot to add Hulkenberg. What the hell?

Well, Pirelli hasn't got the hardest tyre just right. I find it rather difficult to single any driver or team out for donkey of the race. However, I'm rather tempted to name Hamilton as one possible choice - even though the Mercedes has massive degradation, Rosberg managed to end the race in sixth place, whereas Lewis was in twelfth. Perhaps he had made a wrong setup choice? Even the difference in their driving styles shouldn't be enough to explain such a huge gap between them.

The hulk pitstop crash you can't blame too much on him. The replays slow it down so much... but in real time he had hardly any time to react.
