- Ferrari
- Force India. Not sure what happened to Hulk but that was bad.
- Alonso. Beaten by Button the whole weekend.

Can't vote for Rosberg because he did a kickass race until the last lap.

Rosberg - he might lose the championship if he keeps wasting important points
Hulkenberg - promised a great race, a poor start and tires killed his race

Rosberg for obvious reasons
Hulk just went no where
Alonso just nowhere, was .6 off Button in Q2

Rosberg, Rosberg and Rosberg

Nico "Schumacher" Rosberg
Fernando "Owned" Alonso
The crazy kerbs

Rosberg for fundamental misunderstanding of how wheel to wheel racing works.
Whether it was a genuine attempt to defend his position or he was actually trying to push lewis off, he failed on both points.

Ferrari completely outfoxed on strategy, I'm sure this is a feeling they must be used to by now
(Just waiting for Vettel to blame Pirelli for it not being possible to take ultra soft tyres the entire race distance)

Alonso: Where were you? Button gets a sweet top 6, Alonso, meh?

Rosberg for this dumb move and for blaming Hamilton.
Magnussen for the usual line changes when he's being overtaken.
Ferrari, for their usual strategy fail.

Nico x2
Ferrari

Rosberg for not winning a race he should have won. Again.
Rosberg for trying to push off his team mate. Again.
Rosberg for putting the blame on the other. Again.

Rosberg, Ferrari & Force India.

Rosberg: Even Jorge Lorenzo can race side by side better than him
Ferrari: Whoever decided to leave Vettel out so long cost them a shot at P2
Sauber: That team is a mess; needs new drivers, new management and a new direction

Rosberg for last corner. Ferrari for strategy and Sauber for being beaten by underfunded Manor and newcomer Haas.

I honestly don't think Rosberg should be voted into this one. I know it's usual to vote a driver farce of the race for one single mistake (be it big), but I think it's not what the purpose should be. Being a farce of something isn't just doing a solid race and then crashing out on a small brain fart, you need to be more creative/consistent in mediocrity to deserve the title. It needs to be something like Verstappen or Palmer at Monaco. Or Maldonado at almost any race the past years.

I don't really understand why Rosberg is to blame in the last-gasp incident between both Mercedes drivers. Nico had the inside line and went deep in order to cover Lewis but Lewis didn't see him and they made contact. It was similar for me to what happened in Austin last year (when Lewis even didn't make the corner, which is not the case here). It's just an opinion.

Thing is. Rosberg tried to out-bully Lewis. He could've defended so much more elegantly, and kept the race! Instead, he tried to force Lewis off the road (like Lewis sort of did with Kimi at Fuji in 2008, ironically). When Nico had committed to that kind of lousy-ass defense, he was in a lose-lose situation. He tripped over himself.

But IMO he didn't want to push Hamilton out, he justed want to close the outside line door: "you're not going to pass me round the outside". I think Nico was trying to force Hamilton to pass him at Turn 3 or at the next straight if he was quicker, but I don't see any wrong aim.

When a car is alongside or ahead of you in a corner, you can't just run them off the road. I know the sport isn't consistent on penalising that and the "tough" drivers try it every once in a while, but we all know it's a bad move. And if you don't get penalized for it, you still probably don't want to do it when the car is alongside or slightly ahead anyway, as you'll usually bugger your car more than theirs, as Nico did here.

But the question is: why is that bad this time and not when any other driver tries it? I don't see any difference beyond that, the different reactions from not only the forum but FIA penalties, which are such difficult for me to understand.

Shame Ted Kravtiz isn't one of the options
