Donkey of the Race- Australia

[keysersoze]

Button is the my donkey for his punk karting move on Sergio. Can't believe anyone could suggest he get a driver of the race vote for finishing (if anything, that goes to his team).

Ferrari pit crew on Kimi's left rear tire

exactly!

The courts are siding against Sauber, so in the end they look a bit silly for selling two cars to three drivers.

If they only had a 2 seater

The only one who didn't get any points today

When you are happy with 11th place you are donkey of the race.

But wait........ there's more.

Maybe it's still Renault after all ...... Newey sees "no light at the end of the tunnel" with Renault

If Renault won't even listen to Adrian Newey, they are going to be lost all year. This is worth watching because Red Bull was already making noise last year about building their own engines. I don't think that will quite happen because they don't have the resources or Mercedes and Honda, but I do think Red Bull could change engine suppliers. I think next year Honda would probably be more than willing to supply a quality team like Red Bull.

That just burns.

1. Bernie Ecclestone for getting us into a situation where only 15 cars start
2. Ron Dennis for switching from Mercedes to Honda
3. Fernando Alonso for switching from Ferrari to McLaren

Worse, it could have been 13 if VDG had shut sauber down, and maybe even 11 cars if the king of good times had to actually pay his bills before he could go racing.

That, and the other McLaren or Red Bull could have blown up on the formation lap too.

2. Ron Dennis for switching from Mercedes to Honda

Ron will be ok. I don't think Honda will suck for long. Over the course of two days they went from running 12 laps at time to completing an entire race. They will figure out what went right and make it happen again.

3. Fernando Alonso for switching from Ferrari to McLaren

This guy can't get a break.

This guy can't get a break.

I think Fernando has nobody else to blame but himself. It's not like he went to McLaren because he wanted to be there. The fallout with Ferrari was entirely his own doing and thus he manoeuvred himself into a position where he was left wit sabbatical vs McLaren as the only choice.

Before I forget. An honourary donkey should go to Sky UK, who incessantly blathered on about Kimi being bumped by Seb, when the Finn himself had already said he didn't touch with Seb, but was hit from behind. (Sainz) That post-race interview by whoever that chick is, just smacked of desperation to incite a RAI/VET spat. Obviously in their world the idea that two people can race each other hard and still get along doesn't compute in their world.
