Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
Qualifying's finished and this thread hasn't been opened up yet. So far there's only one real candidate and his name is Pastor Maldonado

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
Naming an early candidate in the form of Ross Brawn, for getting showed up by Michael this weekend.
Sticking his neck on the line, one post at a time. Oh, and Singapore is still better than Monaco.
Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
On-track: Pastor Maldonado and Jenson Button
Off-track: LG - the timing was all over the place for part of Q1.

True - up until he lost his head in FP3 he was looking like a definite top 10 candidate, and potentially top six, but now he starts in 19th place and with a rather black mark against his name. He'll be lucky to score points from that far back on the grid, whereas if he'd kept his cool and not rammed Perez he might well have had a chance of a decent amount of points, if not a podium, given both his and Williams's recent form. Mind you, Button wasn't exactly covering himself in plaudits either - just like in Spain, he looked reasonably quick and happy in practise but just faded away as time wore on.

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
Jenson 'Massive Understeer' Button - Just watching him lately is infuriating. You want to grab him by the scruff of the neck and scream "Just put your foot down for bathplug's sake!".
Pastor Maldonado - Even I can miss the inside of a corner/brick wall.
The tunnel exit - It's a thinly disguised ramp. Change it before someone has an acci......before even more people have accidents there.

I'm nominating Wizzie for what's looking like another shocking prediction round.
-Schumacher as reject of the race after, and I qoth, "a lacklustre qualifying".
-Grosjean as DBTMOTR.
-Kimi 1rst
-Maldonado 2nd

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
Button is back to his usual self, and it's a pity. I enjoyed to see a driver who I genuinely believe is slightly less talented, beating the Alonsos and Hamiltons of the field with the use of brains. But that relied on him driving at his best ever, which he's no longer doing.
Go home, Bernie Ecclestone!

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
I'm gonna nominate Michael Schumacher for driving like a tool in Spain, so much so that his first pole position since 2006 is effectively rendered null and void by his penalty.
Didn't see the Perez/Maldonado incident (I was watching qualifying in Chapefields in Norwich ), so I can't pass much comment on it until I've seen it. Button deserves a mention as well.

Jenson Button so far. Two races in a row outside of Q3.

Kamui Kobayashi, for hitting the one part of the circuit that nobody has ever hit before (even Martin Brundle was impressed).

Granted, I don't think it was quite as absent-minded an incident as Kamui's, but that barrier is definitely grazed.
And there's the collision at the start of today's GP2 race, but I think that was after qualifying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCte8-m-Xqg

They certainly are premature, although given the relative importance of qualifying and improving your track position in Monaco, wrecking your weekend as early as Maldonado has and in such stupid ways certainly puts you right up there even before the race begins.

But what Maldonado did WAS inherently stupid

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
1 lap in all I'll call it now.
Maldonado: from Hero to Zero to minus 1000000000000
Dishonourable mentions:
Button Getting stuck behind Kovalainen of all people
Vergne Coming back from the back to points... then bathplugged it all up with inters.
Grosjean Channeling his inner Schumi and try to take out Schumi.
Maldonado: from Hero to Zero to minus 1000000000000

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
I know it's only Lap 1, but Pastor Maldonado is the clear frontrunner after he just drove into De La Rosa at Ste Devote!

Jean-Eric Vergne for blowing a career-best finish thanks to a gamble that was never going to cut it. I mean rain was predicted ever since lap 30 and none of it happened.
95 GP / 63 DNF / 5 pts
Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
The Monaco Grand Prix - *snooze*. If it had been ANY other race, even plugging Abu Dhabi, we would've had a great fight at the end, but nooooo, we need to maintain tradition and cater to the stupid celebrities! REMOVE IT FROM THE CALENDAR ALREADY
Double mention, as not even Jenson deserves to be compared to the complete idiocy that was this race.
Honorable mentions: Romain Grosjean, Pastor Maldonado, Heikki Kovalainen, Jenson Button

Jenson Button for being slower than an electric Lada with a Donkey on the roof pulling a caravan with 15 people in it. Driving on ice.
Toro Rosso for quite simply the most stupid strategy call I've ever seen

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Monaco
Maldonado - Maybe Monaco isn't his best track after all...
Toro Rosso Strategists - Vergne was on a good strategy - until he came in for the inters. Ricciardo, on the other hand, stayed out WAY too long, and retired anyway.
But the winner: Jenson Button - Spent the entire race behind Kovalainen, almost caught by very average Toro Rosso and Sauber drivers. Then we add qualifying and another DNF to that...
Actually, preemptive nomination to anyone who protests Red Bull's floor now, after they've had it since Bahrain.
