Well, for me it's got to be Max this time. That was some dirty defending which caused an accident and was inches away from provoking a second one. I hope that he gets a penalty for that, but I guess the stewards were too busy handing out warnings for abusing track limits and probably missed the actual race.

Honorable mention to McLaren for screwing Jenson's race on what was going to be one of the best circuits for them.

[longisland]

Max the obvious choice. Rosberg for not making a single attempt to challenge Hanilton. If the roles were reversed, Hamilton will drive the wheels of to fight for the win.

[gm99]

Palmer for throwing away his first point(s) and his pit-crew's excellent work.

[The Black Knight]

Palmer for his spin.

Raikkonen for having a faster car and still not managing to pass Max.

Massa for putting on a fresh set of tires with 3-4 laps to go and still being unable to set the fastest race lap. Useless! Both Williams drivers are absolutely useless. I'm convinced Williams car is much better than those drivers show.

In fact, Massa is so shite that even Ericsson managed to overtake him at one stage. Oh he's utterly useless altogether. Shouldn't be in F1 as far as I am concerned. He's just not good enough.

[yodasarmpit]

Kimi, for loosing his end plate and complaining like a baby at Max.

Palmer

Palmer
I'm not sure if Palmer was driving over his head to get to that spot, in which case I'd give him a pass for the spin, or if he just had a brief session of dumb.

Given that, Button's radio error (it's still a dumb rule, but it is the rule.).

[Nitrodaze]

The FIA and their dodgy radio rules.

[Tazio]

Force India / Perez for whatever the hell happened on that pit stop :crazy:

Hard one again, but given what a great race he was having, Palmer must get a mention for the spin. He has yet to really look comfy in F1 sadly.

The spin has not been properly analyzed by the team yet. The first instinct is to blame the driver, there may be other factors involved. If it turns out to be driver error, an Ocon swap in for 2017 would look increasingly likely. F1 is a very unforgiving environment to work in. You only get one chance and a rookie driver must seize that opportunity with near faultless [top of their game] performances in the first year to make it into the second. I suppose the best way to judge him, is to look at him relative to other rookie that joined the season this year.
He certainly has not performed to Wehlein's level. He has made a good effort to keep up with Magnussen but if you had to choose between Palmer and Haryanto, which would you pick?
I think Palmer needs to up his game in the 2nd half of the season or it is bye bye F1.

That's the most obvious Donkey that I saw. I'm used to seeing clown stops from Williams, but that was very unlike Force India. Esteban Gutiérrez's dodgy driving, while ignoring blue flags, would be my solid second choice. If he'd really balked Hamilton and allowed Rosberg to pass, I could see Hamilton channeling Senna and b!tch slapping Gutiérrez after the race. I don't know what happened to Palmer that took him off track. But his erratic driving, as he came back on (almost got into Hamilton, I think - camera cut away as Hamilton rounded him up), puts him on my Donkey Podium.

yup

[Zico]

Palmer and the Stewards.
If moving twice in the braking zone is illegal then why no penalty for Verstapen? Also it now appears that it's OK to get a purple sector under double yellows as long as you are seen to have lifted and lost a tenth? That's a very dangerous precedent to set IMO.

[Mia 01]

Verstapen!!

[zako85]

In order to be fair, we also gotta mention Kvyat. 16th. It's a foregone conclusion that he will be leaving the Red Bull, if not F1 completely, camp after this season.

[Morte66]

I'm going to go with the FIA again.
