Donkey of the Race - Bahrain 2010 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

It's a difficult one, but I think Sutil is probably the one for hitting Kubica and ruining both their races.

Also Chandhok for crashing after 2 laps, which is not what you want to do when your team need mileage under their belt.

to be fair how is he to know the track with so few laps

I think that the donkey of the race is... Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir.

The organisers ran the Endurance Circuit configuration, when combined with the heavier and therefore less mobile cars, produced a more boring race than what was needed.
If they'd decided to run the Grand Prix layout or the Outer Circuit, they would have probably produced a better race.

Sutil's accident isn't exactly all his fault, I mean you can hardly blame him for hitting something he can't even see because Webber's car followed through on a giant fart.

Chandok did look... a bit silly.

**Accecyncphory** · 03-15-2010, 02:29 PM

Webber for me. While his team mate was dominating the race he was nowhere. Or should we blame this too on bad luck again?

Nothing really was going on in the boring race to even consider donkey's.

**Storwaytozy** · 03-15-2010, 03:20 PM

Chandok was the

of the race, although the circit was very boring.

**itepearce** · 03-15-2010, 03:25 PM

My vote goes for FIA, again. The refuel ban makes the races even more boring, which in itself is a huge achievement.

**Storwaytozy** · 03-15-2010, 03:26 PM

But the refuelling ban would really be for the donkey of 2010 awards, not the 'Donkey of the Bahrain GP'.

Thats true. Hopefully Bridgestone produces tyre options that really differ dramatically. Thats the only hope we´ve got.

**Storwaytozy** · 03-15-2010, 03:31 PM

You could always complain to the FIA, which I guess alot of people will do.

**tinetttstation** · 03-15-2010, 03:41 PM

The circuit

**Nurfzerne** · 03-15-2010, 04:20 PM

Is this track made by Tilke, if so Tilke was the guy with long ears !!

**hellenmoranov** · 03-15-2010, 04:53 PM

Webber for me. While his team mate was dominating the race he was nowhere. Or should we blame this too on bad luck again?

Webber was easily donkey of qualifying. Messed it up twice on the hot lap. And since there is no refuelling to jump in front of slower cars...

My vote goes to the FIA.

Totally agreed.

Chandok did look... a bit silly. I'll defend him here: the poor sod's car was a bag of bolts on Saturday morning, and he did well to even be in the race. He got caught out by a bump which (a) shouldn't have been there and (b) everybody else got used to in the three practice sessions which he missed.

**tinetttstation** · 03-15-2010, 05:19 PM

You're the flipping donkey. I'd love to see you get your first drive in F1 during a QUALIFYING session and then have to learn in what was a pretty terrible car during a race.

**leyliana** · 03-15-2010, 05:20 PM

What happened to Chandhok in the first place? I missed the replay. Anyway, I give him a break. He shook off a new F1 car in a Q1, for god's sake, and didn't ruin anyone's lap.

As for the donkey of the race, I don't think anyone performed particularly poorly. Webber's and Button's day was ruined on Saturday.

**hellenmoranov** · 03-15-2010, 05:24 PM

He hit the bump which he didn't know was there, because it was about his 5th lap in the car, and the circuit configuration. And then binned it.

No way is he the donkey. A race is no place to start to learn about the car and the circuit.

**gabbaman** · 03-15-2010, 06:42 PM

no P1 no P2 no P3 just a run in Q1 i don't know how any can blame Chandhok.

**MpNelQTU** · 03-15-2010, 08:30 PM

The track-refuelling combo has been lethal this weekend. All in all, the Donkey of the Race is the track itself.

With an special mention for De la Rosa´s grid girl, who puked on the grid and triggered one of the most funny/disgusting (as you prefer) comments in Spanish F1 broadcasting:

"They have to clean that, Pedro´s gonna lose a lot of grip running over that!"
