Your Reject of the Race - Bahrain
With no sign of the good Captain again, I fear it's time to start this one.
As I'm taking no part in watching this weekend, I'm nominating Bernie Ecclestone, Jean Todt, the FIA and the Bahrani organisers already. No ifs, no buts. Full stop, new paragraph.
EDIT: Another nomination - Formula One

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Bahrain
I'll go against the current here and nominate the non-F1 hype and hysteria polluting the Grand Prix. Everyone has an agenda. Mine is to watch the race and get my fill of failures, moaning, succes and lying that goes along with the on-track action. Couldn't care less for the rest, and none of us has a real clue what is really going on and what the point of it is. I just filter it out.
So my ROTR is the hysteria and ill-informed doom and gloom surrounding the Grand Prix. EDIT - before someone takes offense, i meant in all media not on this forum.

Simple answer: Two Words. Burnme Ecclestone. Maybe the Molotov cocktail thrown at the Force India team members was actually aimed at Bernie's car and missed.
If he's smart, he should announce his resignation IMMEDIATELY or face further reprisals.

Also, Formula One. It's not often that I seriously contemplate not watching a race, but the way the Bahrain GP situation has been handled just makes me sick (Bernie in particular. I won't say what I think of him right now because this is supposed to be a family-friendly website) and I'm just hoping we'll get to the end of the weekend without any horrible tragedies.

As do I.
And yes, it'll have to go to Bernie for the time being. Although I feel he deserves way more than that.

On the basis of that nomination, The Passenger.
But to be serious, Bernie has really outdone himself this time. Risking the lives of hundreds of employees just so he can pocket a few more dodgy oil funded dictator dollars. Disgraceful.

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Bahrain
I immediately nominate The FIA and anyone else involved in organizing the race for obvious reasons. Even if Jenson Button crashes the car on his own right, the Ferrari engines go boom, Raikkonen goes completely anonymous, and if Marussia, HRT and Caterham fail to qualify.

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Bahrain
Bernie, Bahrain's leaders, Formula One as a whole, they all deserve Reject of the Race. This is the first time I've actively avoided Formula One coverage since I've been watching the sport. Ironically, some of my friends have suddenly become interested in F1, starting many conversations where I try to explain the situation.

Changing my vote to Mercedes for screwing Schuey over ONCE AGAIN. (yes, it needs that much emphasizing, it's the third time this year!)
Honorable mention to FOM and the FIA for not showing any footage of the Force Indias, and to Bernie and all involved for actually letting the race go through in these pathetic conditions. But for seriousness' sake, my vote is for Mercedes.

I wouldn't be surprised, the current Formula One management, particularly a certain ex-Brabham manager, is about as democratic and accepting towards dissidents as Soviet Union.

Sauber - They have come crashing back to earth after Sepang, with Kobayashi on a poor strategy and Perez nowhere.
McLaren pit crew -
Lotus - Wimps. They should've moved Grosjean out of the way, and I'd like to have seen Kimi try to use pit later and use softs at his last stop.
But the winner (apart from the political side) has to be:
Daniel Ricciardo - Dammit Daniel. You proved me right. He got passed, then spent a fair chunk of the race behind Petrov, took 1 lap to find himself behind Vergne (what is it with Aussies and hopeless starts?), and was all around crap. Others have been sacked by STR for better performances than that, he needs to pick it up immediately, or be tossed on the heap with the likes of Speed and Bourdais.

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Bahrain
Nico Rosberg - How...just, HOW did he not get penalized? He deserved a black flag for those two moments at the very least. And did he seriously call Lewis out for "overtaking him outside the track" on the radio? He just took last week's win and shat on it. Disgusting.
Honorable mentions:
* McLaren. What the fizzleplug? Pathetic all around. They just threw both championships with that.
* Ricciardo - Shameful. Bad start, bad race all around. Did he get overtaken by a Caterham? Seriously?
* Anybody who pretended to care, even for a single second, about the situation in Bahrain, and who was selfish, immature and stupid enough to go all "CANCEL THE RACE" "WE WON'T WATCH THE RACE, WE WON'T COVER THE RACE ON OUR WEBSITE" "Sebastian Vettel won today, but it is all overshadowed by our collective brains taking a far-- oh, I mean, the protests and the bloodshed." Yes, myself included, as you can see on the previous page.
