Donkey of the Race
So many choices this week... but, at least, it's not McLaren-Honda (Thank God!!!)
Butt-head drivers & brain-fart managers are welcome...Defend mediocrity... because excelence is just too hard to achieve. :p

Williams.
Both Mercedes drivers fill out my podium for expertly chucking it away!
Honourable mention to Maldonado, but since it's usually expected, 3 penalties in one race makes less of an impact than for other drivers.SPAM - Going off topic to give you the deals you don't want.

Maldonado - how many penalties did he earn today?
Both Mercedes drivers deserve a mention as well.
It was hard not to score any points today, but Williams have managed that, so hats off to them!
And special mention to Force India, inventors of the self-disintegrating race car.Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.

Rosberg and Hamilton both get honourable mentions.
But how can it be anyone other than Pastor Maldonado? Three penalties in a race has to take the cake.

for once i acquiesce, clear donkey was maldonado
Hamilton gets one honorable mention for a poor start and crashing into riciardo, but redeems himself a bit with some good overtakes to salvage points
Rosberg gets a 3/4 donkey for crashing into riciardo and selecting the mediums instead of the softs for his final stint, which would have seen him pass vettel
...if he had even tried to attempt a pass instead of losing time. which in it of itself gets another 1/4 donkey. He was nowhere on pace today, falling back miserably to the ferrari's in the early part of the race and never came close to even matching them in speed and lap times. The guy is not a fighter. He was handed the potential race win aand WDC lead on a silver platter and failed miserably on all fronts, including a poor start as wellyou can't argue with results.

Maldonado by a country mile. Both Rosberg and Hamilton get a honorable mention as well.

Force India. They stopped Nico from practice two just to check his car and returned her to him in a self-destroying state

Maldonado hands down for completing a hat trick.
The Mercedes drivers especially Rosberg for opting for the prime tires. He would have had a chance winning the race & avoided the contact with Ricciardo had the option tires been chosen.
Force India & Williams. Force India were having issues the whole week; the Williams had a terrible race starting from top ten & managed only to be in front of the manors & Maldonado.
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
