Plonker of the Race
I would have made this a poll, but it looks like only Mods can do that.
So who is your Plonker of the Race? 1. Alonso, for carrying on with a broken wing 2. Hamilton, for forgetting which team he drives for 3. Toro Rosso lollipop man, for causing another of those pitlane accidents which turned out to be not nearly as bad as it might have been 4. Force India pit crew, for chaotic stops that even exceeded the famous Ferrari "committee meetings" of old 5. Webber, for believing Vettel would obey team orders 6. Vettel, for admitting he disobeyed team orders 7. Rosberg, for obeying team orders 8. Other |

Too many plonkers, not enough Del Boys.

Hamilton made my wife and I laugh out loud Toro Rosso should train their guy on a school crossing first Force India for impersonating the Keystone cops Webber for being so naive Vettel for ****ing off not only Webber but Newey and Horner Rosberg for not having his dad's spunk and taking Lewis Mclaren for not bringing last year's car to the race ! Jenson might have go a podium then ! Roll on China. |

Hamilton's gaff put me in mind of the episode of Only Fools & Horses where Rodney after marrying Cassandra forgets that he is now a married man and instead of going home to his new apartment returns as he has done for many years to the home he has grown up in Nelson Mandela house.
Upon coming through the door Del Boy addresses Rodney......"can I tell you something that will stand you in good sted? ...well how can I put this? You don't live here anymore!!! (What a Plonka) |

The Mrs and I just watched laps 1-15 because we missed them this morning.
Hamilton. I haven't laughed so much in *ages*. The way the McLaren pit crew waved him through in such a friendly way was bloody hilarious! |

McLaren in general, now in 7th battling STR and Sauber in the standings.
Maldonado gets an honourable mention. |

I laughed out loud twice. First when Alonso drove past the pit entry and then had his front wing come off immediately after that. Second, when Hamilton pulled into the McLaren pit. I know what Hamilton was thinking, I have no idea what Ferrari was thinking (did anyone really think it was better to stay out with that wing and hope to give it another lap or two to get dry weather tires? You try that type of crazy stuff when you are nobody hoping for a miracle not a top team like Ferrari?) Richard |

Webber. See other thread. For not getting it into his head, this is not a gentlemans "sport".
Rosberg, from this race realising giving your teammate a podium is a no go no brainer. Gets you nowwhere Nico, only a No2 rating.. |

Well Vettel has to be pretty stupid or so pig headed arrogant to think what he did wasn't going to cause ripples.
messing with Webber is fine. Going against Horner and Newey is a rather stupid thing to do when you are the golden boy. RBR still got the result they were after...but the question is do they care who is running the asylum. If they do I expect Seb to be benched for P1 in China for discip-line reasons and Buemi step up for Prac 1 |

It was a kind of understandable error from Lewis though, he did spend his whole career so far with the McLaren boys.
The weird one was Button in China 2011. He pulled into the Red Bull pit despite never driving for a team in dark blue overalls! Although handily the McLaren pit was right next door. |
