Donkies:

Schumi - Well don't need to go into it really. Fell asleep at the start, then speeding in the pitlane.

Mclaren Strategy boys - Don't know why people are blaming Jenson. He was 3rd and fending off Vettel and looking like a podium when the team told him they would have to go to Plan B which ruined his race. As it turned out Red Bull did the same. Hamilton was going to, but they saw what had happened to Jenson and they thought better of it.

Stewards - I have said on record before that I think the level of steward interference is too high. In Monaco yes Maldonado was right to be penalized for his move on Sergio. In Valencia I think it was the right call because he came from off track into Lewis.
At Silverstone I think he made the same mistake as here was a tad too hot and just lost the back end. Here I think the penalty was harsh because both cars continued with any damage or real inconvience and hard racing is disappearing. The difference at Silverstone was he completely ruined Sergio's race and thus a further punishment could be deemed nessacery. However today I thought it was a bit harsh.
