The donkey of the weekend (if indeed a car part can be a donkey) is the Sauber front wing, which nearly ended up killing Kobayashi, Hulkenburg and Buemi.
As for the race, Alonso for probably causing the first cornercrash, even though he drove a great race, Mercedes for stopping Schumacher again, forcing him to have to come through from the back two or three times, and Hamilton for being a whiner.
Webber gets half an ass for misjudging the incident with Hamilton when he could have probably passed both the cars in front of him with a little bit of patience.
Could not have said it better myself :DQuote:

BUT - de la Rosa has noit had the problems.Quote:

Webber did make errors today and is one of the "donkeys", but at racing speed Hamilton slowed suddenly because of trying overtake Alonso - it was not Webber's fault in that accident.Quote:

Kobayashi didn't know what happened himself. I would reckon he would have owned up if he had made a mistake, and thinking back, I don't think he hit anyone at the start.Quote:

Webber. Period
And not their faults really, but both Trulli not being able to start and Kobayashi causing havoc in first lap deserve an honorable mention for me.
As of second round, the Japanese driver takes an early lead as the fool of the season given the rules I wrote at the beginning, having retired from both races with mechanical failures, creating and accident with yellow flags, etc...

Why does this thread even exist? It could be re-titled the "Mark Webber f***s up the Aussie GP Thread" :D :D
What I find funny is that Mark is generally one of the drivers who will make a big fuss about one of the young'uns like Kobayashi making a stupid move. That pass on Hamilton was never on and it was just all kinds of stupid. Add to that a number of other silly errors and there is no real contest for Donkey.
I find it amazing that Saint Devote thinks that accident wasn't Mark's fault, he wouldn't have made that corner if the track was clear, he just braked far too late when there was never going to be a gap to exploit. It says a lot that he couldn't even make it a wheel to wheel crash. Stupid move by someone who nearly always has a stupid time at Melbourne.
As far as the top ten, I was very impressed with each driver's skill as well as bravado. On a street circuit, with walls an less run-off, things can go pear-shaped in a blink of an eye. Throw in changeable conditions and I'm inclined not to hand out any donkeys.
It was a shame to see so many drivers get taken out through no fault of their own early on. I felt especially bad for Trulli's DNS. I would've like to have seen all 24 on the circuit in the first 20 laps before conditions stabilized.
Yeah, you ran into the back of someone who brakes for a CORNER and you arent at fault.Quote:
