    All of us, because we criticised Maldo mercilessly.

    Very true.

    For the race itself, has to be Herr Schumacher for driving into the back of someone (again) then claiming it was their fault.

    Should've gone to SpecSavers?

    It's a toss-up between him, Schumacher and the stewards for me.

    Gary Anderson who sounded like he was about to say "****" on live TV rather than "fire"

    Massa, who was both lapped, and didn't slow down for the yellows. Poor show.

    ahem, speak for yourself (smug look)


    Schumacher for calling the person who caused the crash an idiot, little realising (for some reason) that the idiot was him.

    Either Schumacher for, yet again, running into someone and blaming the other person

    Or Massa for being utterly useless. The only people to finish behind him were Glock, the 2 Caterhams and de la Rosa. When your team mate finishes second, that is disgraceful. Even if Massa is pretty much a test driver for Ferarri to help build a car for Alsono, and even with a penalty, that is awful.

    Yeah - Schumacher for inexplicably ploughing into the back of Senna and then whimpering "Idiot!" on the radio. Not only did he show a complete inability to take avoiding action but also a complete inability to understand what had happened.

    In more general terms, I think Button was extremely poor over the weekend having apparently found a good setup on Friday. I'm not bothered so much about reasons like cooler temperatures, an evolving track or different brake materials, more about his 100% belief that they'd made the right call in sending the test drivers to Mugello to try out "extreme" solutions instead of using the time to work on widening the setup window in which he can operate effectively with this car. I know Mugello is not representative of most of the circuits on the calendar but a) any opportunity to play with setups, tyres and driver style, and b) completely different circuit characteristics would, I'm sure, have been of more benefit to him than not going. The custard pie moment would be his reiteration on Friday that they did the right thing.

    One of&#8230;
    Schumacher for being a plumb and driving into the back of a car and blaming someone else, Shock!
    Massa for driving like a plumb (being lapped by your team mate in the same car is utter pants!)
    Or the Mclaren chap (who no doubt is now owner of a crisp piece of paper with the words P45 on them), that was most likely sucking a plumb when he hit the wrong button and took fuel out of Hamilton&#8217;s car!

    I didn't, as you know ;) , but to that end I'd like to nominate Martin Brundle who has been Maldonado's number one tormentor since day one. I've wondered before whether Maldonado would have had so much stick from almost everyone if Brundle hadn't been so relentlessly negative about him. I wonder what Martin has to say now...

    Whilst people should be given a chance, a lot of pay drivers have been pretty poor, so the history books would've said that Maldonado would be equally bad

    Off track, the stewards, obviously.

    On track, the McLaren pit team, just as obviously.

    If we're only including drivers, Schumacher, same again.

    With an honourable mention to David Coulthard. I'll decide for myself whether Pasta is suddenly the Big Cheese, you miserable, overpaid, poorly dressed ****.

    I completely agree with your reasoning.

    However, off-topic:
    I just have to ask about the "plumb" analogies. Are you comparing Schumacher and Massa to some
    means of establishing a vertical? A 'dead-weight' perhaps? Or is it something used in &#8211; or perhaps a term of &#8211; plumbing? (Then again, I suppose a plumb-line may have something in common with plumbing; something I know nothing about).

    Please excuse my ignorance. I genuinely have not heard that term before!

    :)

    I'd agree with this. Was not impressed with Maldonado up until this weekend but he proved the doubters wrong. Found a sweet sweet set up in the Williams car and deservedly won by outdriving a modern great in Fernando Alonso. Not many people can say that can they! As it happens I am still scooping out the custard from my eyes!
