Schumacher. For missing his grid slot, switching his engine off and then speeding in the pitlane all within about a minute. A weekend to forget.
Since Schumacher will win this by a mile here I'll pick something else! McLaren unable to get Jenson on the podium because of poor strategy.
All of this x 100! May as well close the thread now! On Silver's point about Button's strategy, it was the same as Hamilton's in the end its just that Button had to pit earlier as he had knackered his tyres whilst trying to do a 2 stopper and got caught in traffic. If he was faster he wouldn't have got stuck behind Senna in teh first place
Schumacher for the humiliation conga and making such an effort out of passing back-markers, Mclaren's strategists in hindsight for pitting Button far too early both times.
Michael - oh MICHAEL ! - they haven't fitted the engine restart system at traffic lights to your car.......
Actually just thought of another one, Grosjean's mechanics in the first stint. If they'd not messed up his pitstop he could potentially have leapfrogged Hamilton, or at least been closer behind him in his stint on the softs, which would have put a whole other spin on the race.
His times were not that much worse than Hamiltons when he pitted for the first time. The radio call "plan B" was when they switched to three. Basically it was McLaren thinking that they could overtake on this track. They were all set to do the same to Hamilton when the penny dropped watching Jenson. "should have been faster" is a poor excuse for McLaren not bothering to find him clear track.
I think McLaren were trying to cover Vettel at the second stop, not leapfrog the leaders. Still pretty stupid to pit him behind Senna though. They then pitted too early on the final stint, they needed to stop but if they'd left it later they could've come out ahead of Alonso, or at least have fresh enough tyres to attack him more. Red Bull did the same with Webber, he needed to do 29 laps on a set of softs so he had to pit, his times were still decent though so if they'd left him out they would probably have got Senna.

Schumacher is too obvious, so i'll give it to Sky, for having such a boring presenter that made me want to slit my wrists before the race even started. The career man is 100000000000000000000000000x better.
I agree that Cheezenby belongs on local radio but the Schmuck has to have it this week: how the mighty have fallen, can't even park a car.
I'd rather have Legard presenting it. Anyone called Lazenby is useless, George Lazenby nearly killed the bond franchise, Simon Lazenby is going to kill me at this rate.
