Donkey of the Race - Brazil

Vote for your donkey of the race here. Be honest.

Maldonado.

I hear one driver has tried to push another over the curbs in Monaco on the way to Brazil , but the other guy was parked , so it doesn't look like he'll avoid penalty .

So , since this thread is a little early , can I nominate him as a sort of "pre-race favourite" ?

Zonda bazinga .

I'm with you Baggie but I think he deserves a donkey award for having such a stunning car painted purple! :crazy:

That's weird... purple isn't exactly my favorite color. But on that (naturally) outlandish car, it sort of works for me. The wheel nuts and the carbon inlays set it off nicely.

Anyway, that's what Lewis gets for letting Bruce Jenner drive his car.

You dissing his colour ? That's racist , man . Hee hee .

I'm hearing it was three cars , not one , that he nerfed .
I can't imagine the insurance premium on a ride like that , and now , after a four car fender bender(wonder what the other cars were), it's gotta be even gnarlier .

At least there are no flames .

No donkey IMHO.

Sorry I forgot we had a thread for this early. Mods can feel free to merge them.

So boring that hard to name a donkey. Maldonado is allways a safe bet and the only one to do something ��

[zako85]

I have picked Massa and Williams as the donkeys of the race. Come on, Felipe, this was supposed to be your most important race of the year! He should have been practicing the race, and not just the podium steps, on a race simulator half a year in advance, and the Williams mechanics should have been working overtime to setup a nice ride for him. Instead, Massa is disqualified because of tire temperatures! Scandalous!

Purple should be reserved for cashed-up white trash bogans

The sad thing is, that was a standard colour. It's as outlandish as that eye bleed green on the Focus RS.

If this was said after the race I, for sure, know who the real master donkey is. Hybris, anyone.

Hard to argue with what he has said there. Lets face it, Vettel got his ass handed to him last year the first time he had a really comparable team mate. I struggle about where to put Vettel in the pecking order of the current crop because of this. He has done well at Ferrari this year but I'm still in doubt as to whether Kimi's lack of speed makes him look better than he actually is or is it that he has improved his driving this year.

Hamilton on the other hand, has always had fantastic team mates and always beaten them.

Vettel has beaten Räikkönen as badly as Alonso did. And Webber was rated very highly before teaming up with Vettel - in fact he was rated about on level with the likes of Button and Rosberg, who incidentally later on went on to be Hamilton's team-mates.

Apart from 2014, Vettel's performance has been top-notch.

[Tazio]

I have to agree with Jens Vettel's craft really is top notch. I don't know exactly where to place him, but he is very near the top along with The Boss, and Fred. This season has gotten me off the fence with him talent wise, as it appears he has extracted everything the SF15-T has to offer.

[steveaki13]

I agree Taz.

Vettel has been top notch this year. Those who questioned his ability for winning for one team must surely admit he has proved he could easily win a title with Ferrari.

[Tazio]

May the forza be with him! :angel:

It appears that way, yes. I'm still not convinced he's on the Alonso/Hamilton level but, although he is exceptional, I don't know where to rank him. He's definitely in the top 5-6 drivers on the grid group though, no doubt about that.

[Tazio]

Let's face it the current field is almost all excellent drivers, so I'm not going to split hairs. I said I would just enjoy the racing this season, but it really has been lackluster. Very few really exciting races JMHO, and sorry for the OT.
