Hungarian Donkey of the Race

Good point about Mclaren

Gambled and lost.

Then despite only 15 finishing, the secured 10th and 12th. Terrible car this season.

I agree with the above I'll also throw Igor inthere for his contact!

Rosberg. Driving a Merc slow enough to come fourth is ridiculous.

I honestly get this feeling that you didn't really watch the race.

I watched it, that's why I made that statement. Unless you have a major mechanical, finishing off the podium in a Merc this year is a serious fuck-up.

To fair I would say Rosberg wasn't a Donkey, but Dj has a point.

He was unlucky after the first SC, but he then spent an age behind a Toro Rosso and then couldn't pass Lewis on much faster tyres in that stage of the race.

Not a great race from him.

But seriously, come on. The race is his to win (by a huge advantage) until a horribly-timed safety car destroys his race completely as he gets new tyres a lap after Hamilton and Ric. I don't know how he lost the position to Hamilton, but in a race with lots of accidents and clumsy moves, surely there are better candidates for the award?

Like I said above, I agree with Dj that Nico was not great, but I agree with yourself that he doesn't deserve a Donkey award.

I think Rosberg drove a fairly conservative race with an eye on the championship. He should have been able to pass Vergne but didn't seem to want to risk it. Not a great race but hardly a donkey.

It was such a pleasure watching great drivers do what they do.

I can't give the donkey to a driver but I will give it to whoever told a driver who started from the pit lane to pull over for his team mate who started from pole.
