Ericsson - for not waiting until the main straight to ensure Nasr yield to team orders


Ericsson said to Swedish TV that Nasr had been asked repeatedly for 10 laps to move over, so he was probably not expecting any favours at that point. Still, that was an unnecesary crash.


Good to know some additional details and Nasr's lack of courtesy should not go unpunished by the team. But still, Marcus was over optimistic and reckless.

RedBull for obvious reasons, and Sauber to cover both teammates and the team not managing them.

Palmer for his whole week-end really. Verstappen was a close contender, he crashed just as much but at least redeemed himself with a fantastic recovery until the crash

PS: I see a lot of Rosberg votes, I was going to until hearing somewhere that he had brake problems due to a mistake on the team's part on his duct size

I'm with kals, just so many options today yikes.

Although my 3 votes are Verstappen, Kyvat & RBR.

Hard to call. looking at that crash under normal racing conditions, easily Marcus at fault.

Knowing that the team was furious demanding Nasr to move over, and not seeing the incident from far back enough, how are we not to know Felipe didn't run wide or pull over or do something to make it look like to Marcus he was being let through only to then shut the door.
It's not like Rasscasse is an optimum passing spot (lol I know it's Monaco and nowhere is..but still) but something must've happened to make Marcus think getting alongside there was a good idea.
Naive maybe, but Nasr should also have realised that was his teammate alongside and he had to let him through anyway and not turn in.


Also can't vote max because of all the great passing he was doing before he had a crash that could've happened to anyone....

Red bull trifecta for me - Verstappen, Red Bull and Kvyat. I'm surprised Kvyat's not getting more votes; there were a lot of contenders for farce to be sure, but when you're trying to re-build your reputation, taking out another car while you're a lap down with a dive bomb move is pretty farcical.

Palmer was horrible and crashed almost in every session.
Rosberg was just shameful in wet and Saubers,well.

Nasr & Ericsson: I chose the two drivers instead of the team since I believe it's their fault. Nasr should have respected team orders and Ericsson shouldn't have been so reckless. An embarassing, unprofessional crash while battling for the last but one track position (if I'm not mistaken) is not what a struggling team needs.

Red Bull: for screwing up Ricciardo's race.

Dishonorable mentions:

Kvyat: well...good luck finding a drive for next year if he keeps on racing like this.
Raikkonen: he's supposed to be good in wet conditions and to be one of the more experienced drivers in the field. Ferrari can't afford his basic mistakes if they want to be title contenders. And he screwed up Grosjean's race in the process.
Rosberg (or maybe Mercedes for not enforcing team orders earlier): he slowed down the whole field during the first laps. Thanfully he let Hamilton by, otherwise the race would have been a cakewalk for Ricciardo.
