Again no real farce today. Senna, Perez and Kobayashi are proper candidates for it though.

Schumacher, although it can still turn out to be a mechanical failure

Whoever made the decision not to replace Lewis' gearbox. Yes, he would've started from 6th, but finishing 6th is so much better than 23rd.

On the driver front, Kamui had a bad start and didn't get a whole lot better. Hopefully it goes much better in Korea\Japan. I suppose Narain merits a mention for being the only driver to clatter the wall terminally.

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.

Huh? Senna? WTF did he do to be considered a farce? Senna drove very well today and even before the first SC was on for a top-12 finish.

No-one was a farce again today. Schumi perhaps but if it was a mechanical failure then that would be a harsh vote.

Not really. He had a failure in the left-front that caused him to go into the wall.

Voted for Schumacher for making a rookie mistake.

McLaren for not replacing Lewis's gearbox. Red Bull for Webber's strategy.

Schumacher for making the same stupid mistake for the third time within a year. Last time in Singapore, this year in Spain and today again.

(I realised you posted this before Schumacher 'fessed up)

Maybe Schumacher for making a stupid mistake, then trying to blame the car before eventually coming out and admitting fault.

C'mon Michael make up your mind! :lol:

Yeah. He said the car didn't slow down and he didn't know why. Then it gets investigated and he suddenly admits a mistake. Not impressive.

Back in his days, I liked Schumacher for how incredibly smart he was in positioning his car in traffic and reacting to race conditions.

So, with a sad thought for all old men who are slowly losing their faculties, I hereby vote MSC as farce of the Singapore GP. :(

Massa for trying to overtake on that small bridge. But not a real farce :)
