Where do we start?

(I think I know who ioan will slag off

)

**phenterminediett** · 08-23-2009, 09:43 PM

Badoer hands down.

2nd to the McLaren pit crew.

**Garry Hovard** · 08-23-2009, 09:44 PM

badoer. slow.
Nakajima. slow and puncture (not his fault granted)

but my donkey of the race is the tyre change crew at mclaren. unorganised doesnt describe it....

**Indinehon** · 08-23-2009, 09:47 PM

I have to give it to the McLaren boys for costing Lewis a chance of the win.

Still, that's racing and it's a team game. Sure they will be better at Spa.

**Thigmaswams** · 08-23-2009, 09:48 PM

McLaren pit crew win this one easily.

I don't see how Badoer can get it since he performed exactly as expected. In fact he didn't hit the walls so I figure that makes him a candidate for Driver of the Day!

**pumpineemob** · 08-23-2009, 09:50 PM

Badoer was a bit of a spinning top, rubbish pit stop and an infringement, but his times did improve and he wasn't last, neither did he hit anyone or anything.

everyone else did ok, McLaren pit crew with the late tyres was a massive cock-up, but i think Rubens had him anyway

**Mr_White** · 08-23-2009, 09:51 PM

Mclaren pit crew takes the prize

half a donkey to Badoer as he barely qualified as an F1 racer today.

Webber, maybe for falling out of the points, although quicker than button

**kSmica** · 08-23-2009, 09:54 PM

Badoer, and unfortunately Heikki.

**dubGucKcolo** · 08-23-2009, 09:54 PM

Where do we start?

(I think I know who ioan will slag off )

I'm very undecided between Badoer and the Mclaren team. I guess both deserve a mention!

**Mymnnarry** · 08-23-2009, 10:00 PM

The donkey is not Badoer. It is whoever put him in that car.

Webber, maybe for falling out of the points, although quicker than button

Button had a much faster than Webber all race but it took 2/3 of the race to get by him.

As soon as Button got clear air he set the fastest lap of the race.

Nakajima. slow and puncture (not his fault granted)

That was the result of his car failing in qualifying. He was going on rather soundly before the puncture.

**dubGucKcolo** · 08-23-2009, 10:11 PM

The donkey is not Badoer. It is whoever put him in that car.

Than it's Montezemolo!

**Cyclicymn** · 08-23-2009, 10:15 PM

The Renault engine group.

**golozhopik** · 08-23-2009, 10:15 PM

Kovalainen. Pathetic performance again, what is this guy doing in a top team?'

McLaren lost 2-3 seconds with the pitstop problem, but Barrichello lead him by 4 seconds when he exited the pits. RB would have won anyway.

**Wetekemieluth** · 08-23-2009, 10:16 PM

Mclaren pit crew takes the prize

half a donkey to Badoer as he barely qualified as an F1 racer today.

Mark was held up in his last pit

My donkey...

1. Merc Pitcrew
2. Red Bull Pitcrew
3. Ferrrari for having Badoer on a hiding to nothing

**AnimeThat** · 08-23-2009, 10:17 PM

Than it's Montezemolo!

when both have the first name Luca, it just speaks volumes, doesn't it

**Mr_White** · 08-23-2009, 10:18 PM

Button had a much faster than Webber all race but it took 2/3 of the race to get by him.

As soon as Button got clear air he set the fastest lap of the race.

thats why I said maybe, he really needed to gets some points

That was the result of his car failing in qualifying. He was going on rather soundly before the puncture.

100% correct. It seems like a hobby for some to pick on Nakajima, even when he does nothing wrong. Even when he makes up 4 spots at the start and was running well.

**Mr_White** · 08-23-2009, 10:19 PM

I suspected something like that. I couldn't understand how he could have fallen back that much. So shame on the RBR crew.

**Mr_White** · 08-23-2009, 10:21 PM

Kovalainen. Pathetic performance again, what is this guy doing in a top team?'

Kovy is a fast driver but lacks consistent pace throughout the race. He needed to challenge rubens and didn't then compounded it with falling into 4th. Perhaps the yellow flags interfered with him passing backmarkers or something. But after 2 years I'm ready to welcome Rosberg, Kubica or sutil. I'm pretty fed up with kovy. I still think he is deserving of an F1 seat, but not at macs anymore

McLaren lost 2-3 seconds with the pitstop problem, but Barrichello lead him by 4 seconds when he exited the pits. RB would have won anyway.

Lewis lost 6 seconds on the pitstop. so he would have come out about 2 seconds ahead of Rubens

the LH pitstop was 13 seconds when it only needed to be about 6.8-7

**Wetekemieluth** · 08-23-2009, 10:22 PM

I suspected something like that. I couldn't understand how he could have fallen back that much. So shame on the RBR crew.

when we were watching the pitstop my brother said 'i think mark got held up' and sure enough JB speed past...I was absolutly spewing!

also twice when Mark needed clear air, both Merc came out of their pits right ahead of him

**Mymnnarry** · 08-23-2009, 10:25 PM

Yup, and it is unfair on Badoer to keep him in the car. He is simply not good enough.

The only reason they should keep him in is to wait for Schumacher to possibly return for the last 3 races (so that he will be the 4th and final driver they can use this year). However, by that point Ferrari will have squandered so many points that there would be no logical reason for this strategy.

Having said that, there was no logic in LdM's driver choice anyway.
