I disagree on both counts here - it reflects hugely on Ferrari as a team - that's 2 races 2 blown engines - not a good reflection on the team. It was a mechanical issue entirely under their control - it's a Ferrari engine. A Sauber blowing an engine might be described as beyond their control as they just buy them off the shelf. Ferrari built the thing so it's 100% under their control.

I've not voted, (as I'm posting a quick reply) but think that although one Ferrari & one Haas did make a good showing, by getting both cars into a podium position, especially as one was damaged (due to no fault of the TEAM) that Mercedes were clear winners of this award.

For the most part I agree. Apart from voting for Mercedes
They pretty much did what was expected of them. So I gave it to Manor - for being far more competitive than anyone realistically expected.

Didn't get my vote
