Renault - shoulda parked Palmer sooner
Haas - poor reliability
Mercedes - Did they stop Bottas challenging Lewis?

-Räikkonën for being way off the pace of the 3 on top.
-Mercedes for messing up Lewis' race. Why pit him so early? Times weren't dropping off that much.
-Palmer for being fairly poor, the entire weekend. Unacceptable for a sophomore driver.

Jolyon Palmer is not a F1 driver
Magnussen caused an incident early in the race and kept dragging himself until a DNF

1ª - Magnussen, because the stupid crash with Ericsson was all his fault. Then, he let Hamilton by but got in Vettel's way. Not to mention his poor pace. Grosjean's much better driver

2ª - Kimi, useless all weekend. He's wasting an awesome seat

3ª - Mclaren, slow and unrealible. Poor Alonso, always taking this piece of %&$@ to places where it doesn't belong

Stroll is great for fun. I don't see how one can vote him on this one, tbh. He did nothing wrong, was having a decent recovery up until his retirement. His crazy shakings on the steering wheel are mega fun :lol:

Kimi didn't even considered, as it was looking like he was going to have this performance ever since practice. The surprise was winter testing.

1. Mercedes for their pit strategy. In fairness to them, I got the impression that there was something up with Ham or his car later in the race.

2. McLaren-Honda, enough said. Though they did better then I was expecting.

3. The unreliability of many of the cars. I was tempted to say Stroll but he did better than I expected too, so I went easy on him.

- Palmer
- Magnussen
- Raikkonen

Hopefully they'll all improve.

And for everyone mentioning Mercedes: it was Hamilton's call to make the first pitstop (or so I've read).

I'm puzzled by the votes for Kimi. He finished some 20'ish seconds off the win and had Verstappen trailing him the whole day. Over the course of the race it meant Kimi was only a couple of tenths per lap slower than the race winner. That's hardly farce worthy.

That's almost 4 tenths a lap in the race, and almost 6 tenths in qualifying. He didn't make mistakes but he couldn't keep up either.

4 tenths per lap is a very harsh interpretation of farce. In reality the top 5 were very close at the end of the race. Like I said, that's hardly farce worthy. If Kimi were double that behind or a lap down I'd agree. But he wasn't.

I don't disagree and I don't think he was a big farce either, but I think the general consensus is that he could have done more.

But I've read he had understeer-issues so perhaps it'll be different in China.

How the fuck does he still have a seat? No-where near the level needed, then blamed the team for issues arising from his mistake/crash.

I don't think Stroll's debut could have gone any worse. Look at Giovinazzi, that's how you should do it.
Palmer was aPalmering.
