someone has got to be less than the others. Anyway, if you don't know, just vote Karthikeyan.

In homage to Vettel's comments last time, can we rename this 'Cucumber of the Race'?

People can drive a worse race yes but the title is farce which suggests an abysmal race. Karthakayen (sp?) is a good shout today.

Difficult. Petrov was the only one I didn't notice at all, actually.
But not enough to be a "farce"... I'm not gonna vote.

In fairness, it could be a vote for Button's pitcrew via the driver.

Which would be entirely justified because it cost him a chance of winning.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Don't know if it's possible to pick up a DRIVER, instead I'll vote for the Merc front tyre changer, cause I'm upset of Schumacher's DNF (and Raikkonen's tyre issues).


+1 :thumbsup:

That was indeed the FARCE of this race. I'm really sorry for Schumi :p :x

You're right, but at the moment it looks like Grant is trolling simply because he hasn't made any effort to justify his controversial vote.

I have no problem with people being controversial, but they need to justify it properly. And I'm not sure how you could justify a vote for Button without knowing if it was a mechanical problem on the left rear. Even so, it only cost him about 6 seconds, so it was hardly the 20 seconds he finished behind Rosberg.

It got him stuck behind Massa/Vettel/Raikkonen/Grosjean however instead of a clear track.

Good point. Doesn't change the fact that without justifying the vote it looks an awful lot like trolling though. And it would be incredibly harsh to vote for Button on one small mistake in the pits where both Sauber and Lotus had strategies that cost them some good points.

Kobayashi, expected so much more from him. Also Perez, Massa and Hulkenberg didn´t impress me

People aren't so tecnichal man, if your pulling for someone, going with the driver and cheering for him to WIN the race. The Button mistake followed by where he rejoined the track was a major let down. And, even then. If you want to vote for strategies of the team, then add a topic for Farce Team of the Race.

RtN, for me you didn't need to justify anything. :thumbsup:

It's not RtN who needs to justify anything though, it's iks.

And yea, not everyone is massively into the finer technicalities of F1 strategies, but you don't need to be to see that Lotus fucked up big time considering Kimi dropped 12 places, including 8 in half a lap.

Just bear in mind that the Farce can be anything relating to a particular drivers race..

However dont just vote for the driver and run away, if you do an obscure vote (and remember the Admins can see who votes what!) you will have to justify that vote with a post explaining why!..

Cause if you dont, the Admins will Out you and request an explanation!
(and this will go for any votes in any polls from now on!)

Wait, so all I have to do is vote for a front runner and I too can star in a famous admin screencap? :lol:

I'm going to vote for the Mclaren tyre changer that held up Button.

Robbed us of an epic finish to a great race, a bit like Monaco last year in that respect.

And that is justification enough for that vote.. we are talking about making an obscure vote and then not saying why you made it, thats all!

I have to agree with a fellow Finn. Don't want to select any driver this time.

I have no idea what this quote is in reference to or what argument I've fallen into in here, didn't read the thread, just said what I felt about the race!

it'll teach you to read a thread before making a sarcastic comment about "admin screencaps"
