    Chilton on Maldonado to cause the red flag
    Perez on Raikkonen (not because it was the worst move, but because he was so close to end in a great position)
    Grosjean's entire weekend.

    Edit: forgot about Felipe doing the same thing twice... (if indeed there wasn't a car problem)

    In the black and gold corner, weighing in as a skinny french man.... Romain "What do you mean it's valuable?" Grosjean!!!

    And in the red and silver corner, weighing in as a "team player".......Sergio "Sure there's a gap there!" Perez!!!

    Why are people blaming Maldo, Chilton drove into him.

    You could put a case forward for Alonso, just didn't seem to be awake at the restarts, and lost several positions that could have been easily avoided.

    Alonso was ahead of Perez and if it wasnt for that he'd have finished 5th at the worst, yet when Kimi did it even worse.... twice... It's perfectly fine?

    Actually, I could nominate myself too, thinking about it, for not noticing I'd accidentally starting the race game.

    Has to go to race control... Why the heck they had to take away the beautiful safety car win and hand it to Rosberg by bringing it in, I don't know. Sure it did half the race on one set of tyres, but nobody could pass the bloody thing until they decided to toy with everyone. Imperious drive by the safety car <ok>

    Other notable competition for the prize -

    Alonso's worst race in Monaco ever, even more so than the time Schumey legally overtook him on the last lap and he started crying his hairy eyebrows out about it.

    Whoever decided to hold a race at a stupid place where you can't overtake unless the guy in front is drunk... and Alonso.

    Whoever decided DRS down the main straight was still a good idea <doh>

    Vettel looking like an evil German fighter pilot from WW2 whilst sitting in the cockpit after the red flag.

    That was not Maldo's fault, as Chilton's penalty proves.

    For me though, it has to be Horner's pathetic attempt to convey gravitas while explaining Red Bull's protest; about as convincing as David Cameron's 'statesman' act.

    Edit: sorry, Kyle, didn't see your post

    Except what he said was true, and it seems now the FIA have dropped Pirelli and Mercedes into it saying they weren't propery informed at all.

    Indeed. I don't agree that what Horner said was true, this whole story is too fishy for a simple right or wrong; nevertheless, I change my vote to the FIA, who should have a stronger grip on the sport they purport to administrate.
