Three votes for McLaren. Failing that, I'll add Sauber for making a mockery of the sport pre-race (I also voted for them in the other poll for the great performance on track :p ) and.... hmm. I'll go for Maldonado because Pastor.

Manor, Lotus and especially McLaren. C'mon, even Alex Yoong finished 7th in his only Australian GP.

You can't not vote for Maldonado. But I wonder what Perez did wrong? I think his contact with button was nowhere near his fault

Mclaren, obviously.

Manor, even though I admire their will to race in such short notice this weekend was a complete farce.

Verstappen, not Max, Jos Verstappen. He showed again why I never liked him.

Sauber. Lost all credibility during the week, hope they go down before they pick up 2015 prize money. Race result can't fix that feeling :yuk:

So you want Sauber to cease trading, thus costing the jobs and the livelihoods of 330+ people (most who have nothing to do with the VdG situation) because F1's financial structure forced Sauber into a desperate situation by signing multiple drivers? That's some great logic there!

Some people on this board are demonstrating zero knowledge of F1 and it's history, both past and recent. It has been repeated multiple times by multiple people recently that this isn't the first time that a team, sponsor, driver or someone else... has attempted to renege on a contract. Neither is it the first time a team, driver, sponsor or someone else... has been taken to court over a contract. The reactions some people have written in the past couple of weeks has been laughable. Get a grip.

Then there is the fact that in the past 12 months we've all been discussing the financial situation in F1 and the fact that the majority of teams are fighting for survival.

Anyway, rant over.

McLaren for being horribly slow, Lotus for a double retirement so early, and Manor for not even being able to run their cars.

I'd also vote for the championship itself for being in the state that it is and for the pre-race ceremony. There's no need for any sort of performance before a race, and when you line all of the drivers up at the front of the grid, you don't put your precious VIPs in front of them! Just the organisers showing where their priorities lie, I suppose.

and what have Maldonado done wrong? Raikkonen once again goes back to the track without giving a shit about the others(as in Suzuka QLF 2012, Silverstone start last year). 100% his fault

These votes are a mockery, tbh

Come on now. I know we've had our differences today but let's not go OTT. It was the ghost of Alonso haunting Vettel's car that suddenly felt a gust of wind and swerved to the inside of the turn, thus causing Raikkonen to make Sainz run into the back of him which slowed up the field, causing Nasr to take avoiding action and Maldonado to forget other cars were in his vicinity. See?

It is and always was Hamilton's fault.

Only McLaren as a farce.

I dont want the team to go belly up. 20 cars is already too small of a grid but 18 or 16 if Manor keeps fucking around is an utter joke. But I do hope this whole ordeal has serious consequences for whoever is responsible for it (likely Kaltenborn) within the team. How can you try and cancel a contract AFTER a judge ruled it valid? They could have handled it a whole lot better.
