You have 3 votes.

* Maldonado. Was horrible the whole season, no need to say why. He shouldn't be in F1.
* Sauber. The car was so crap that they couldn't beat Marrusia. I would like to also vote for the drivers but I have a 3rd choice that deserve to be farce of the season.
* Mclaren. Well they had the best engine but the car was nowhere. Button & Magnussen couldn't do anything at all. Was expecting way more from them this season after a crap 2013.

Special mentions to Ferrari, Lotus, Sutil & Gutierrez.

Poll needs a Renault option. Failing that, went with Maldonado, Chilton and Ferrari.

Vettel was so underwhelming I started to question my own judgement. After that 2013 season, how could he stop being so perfect so quickly, and never regaining any momentum?

Voted for Ferrari's 2015 line-up and Caterham.

-Vettel, wtf. Sure he has some bad luck, but he was massively crushed this season by his teammate. Makes you wonder if he would have 4 titles if he had a better teammate by his side.

-Raikkonen, there was no improvement throughout the whole season. He was crushed massively by his teammate. I feel bad already for Ferrari next season.

-Caterham, not particular the team. But the shit that went on behind the scenes. Tony Fernandes for not taking his responsibilities and at least hold out until the end of the season. Kolles and his shady clan that came afterwards, and the shit it resulted in.

Vettel - proves my opinion of him. He can be the quickest of everyone in the right car. If he hasn't got the right car, he is only one of many.
Kimi - disappointing, I mean... 12th in the standings, scoring only about a third of Alonso's points?
Ferrari - just getting worse and worse every season. Thanks Fernando for leaving this chaos.

But this year, there were many farces, so there are some special mentions from me:
Maldonado, Chilton, Caterham, Renault, Sauber

Vettel: Being beaten all year by a new guy in the team and finally running away at the end of the year. I would have never believed that if someone had told me that at the beginning of this year. He never looked like a 4 times world champion this season, and it apparantly was all because he had a car perfectly addapted to his driving style, the real greats can also adapt their style to a car (like Alonso. Raikkonen is the same as Vettel so good luck next year Ferrari with those 2 guys).
Ferrari: Without Alonso they wouldn't even have had a podium this year, pathetic performance.
Lotus: from second best team at the end of 2013 to one of the worst, how can you get the new car so wrong?

Ferrari. Lotus. Sauber.
Hard to believe that these cars gathered 15, 10 and 4 podiums respectively and 829 points altogether in season 2012. Now just 2 podiums and 226 points.

Took me a few moments to understand this.

My vote for farce of the season goes to the collective attitude of F1 when it comes to cost containment and redistribution of wealth. Thanks to the utter greed / selfishness / contempt of few, a lot of families will be heading into the Christmas period surrounded by financial uncertainty.

It's like F1 liked the experience of the 2008 global financial crisis so much, it is attempting to recreate it.

The only reason Ferrari wasn't competitive to win in 2005 was because, for instance, Michelin was like 1,5-2,5s faster in places like Monaco qualifying(some guess is needed as not only tires effect laptime there).

So, thanks Michelin for Ferrari having only 1 win in 2005 instead of a bunch of them.

Ferrari, Kimi and Sauber to me
