    Austrian donkey

    Rosberg
    Hülkenberg for fading away straight from the start.
    Williams was also disappointing on a track they have done well at in the past.
    Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.

    Rosberg, and not just a donkey, he did that intentionally. I don't buy a braking problem, he just didn't turn in. It was just disgraceful.

    Rosberg. (The Martin Brundle phrase from 1997 and Villeneuve v Schumi) "You hit the wrong part of him my friend"

    Hulkenberg for that hopeless effort.

    Williams for going slowly backwards again from a front runner in 2014 and heading back to their 2013 form

    Both Nico's.
    Rosberg tried to ram Hamilton out, Hulkenberg showed again why he doesn't belong in a top team.

    Rosberg and Hulkenberg.

    Hulkenberg was absolutely awful. Bottas was rubbish too.

    Showing why he barely belongs in F1 anymore.

    Wehrlein was nearly a donkey for being in the wrong place on the grid. Only to reverse into his correct place and then become driver of the day. Zero to Hero

    TBF i think there was fundamentally a problem with Hulkenberg's car right from the start.
    I won't be surprised if there was a power unit issue that manifested itself in the warm up lap.
    It was highly unnatural for him to perform this way and the car finally gave up the ghost a few laps from the end.

    Hulkenberg is absolutely deserving of a top seat and if he was in the 2nd ferrari seat, it would be well deserved.
    You would immediately see him win races or challenge for podiums with ease.
    I would sign him in that 2nd ferrari seat if i could.
    not sure vettel wants the competition.

    As to Donkey's
    1. Rosberg
    2. Mercedes race strategy
    3. Williams, what happened? this was a track perfect for them.
    you can't argue with results.
