2017 Magyar Nagydij - ROTR Voting

[Aislabie]

10 points - Max Verstappen (For demolishing his team-mate)

6 points - Brazil (For not having a single entry in the race)

[rachel1990]

1- Max Verstappen- On a day where a win could have been possible for Red Bull Max took out his team-mate and wrecked his own race doing it. Well Done

2- Haas Vs Nico Hulkenberg- It turned into a huge drama involving all 3 cars over the radio that ended up with 0 points all round.

1. Scuderia Ferrari: It might not make sense to vote for a team that got a 1-2, but bathplug it, I'll do it anyway. They deserve it for completely ruining my enjoyment of the race. It's always the same thing, this happened to Barrichello, then to Massa, now it's happening to Räikkönen. Pitting Kimi when he was setting the fastest times was ridiculous. It was exactly the same situation as in Monaco (the driver ahead was significantly slower), but surprise, surprise! They again chose the option that favored Vettel. Obviously they are going to think about the championship battle, but I'll put it bluntly: this team, as prestigious as it is, is a joke when it comes to intra-team racing. I'm rooting for Mercedes to win both championships now.
2. Max Verstappen: Otherwise a great race but taking out one's team mate is about the dumbest thing one can do.

[Dj_bereta]

1 - Vandoorne: For making the most rejectful moment of the race in his pitstop and losing a couple of points as result.

2 - Verstappen: For wrecking his team mate and making the "always happy" Ricciardo losing his cool.

1) The Stewards - I'm no massive Verstappen fan, but his penalty was bs, imo. Yeah, he made a mistake, but it was a relatively minor mistake that had disproportionately severe consequences. He didn't lunge at Ricciardo from miles back, he didn't try to squeeze into a gap that wasn't there, he locked a wheel because he'd been out over the gravel. It wasn't dangerous and it wasn't fabulously stupid. If that's a penalty, then basically, the drivers can't race each other. Every driver on the grid has made more marginal moves than Verstappen on Ricciardo today, and if he'd hit a driver from another team instead of his team-mate, I bet it wouldn't have been considered such a big deal. I'd even go as far to say that the stewards would've judged it less severely.

Verstappen also got more severely punished than Magnussen for what looked like a calculated effort to push Hulkenberg off the road. Utter, utter nonsense.

2) Williams - Nowhere.

[This Could Be You]

RoTR:
1. Verstappen: First rule of racing, Max...
2. Magnussen: Again, that was not good racing, and it wasn't like points were likely anyway
DHM:
Palmer: Again he flattered to deceive: 11th place in qualifying wasn't actually all that brilliant when his teammate and both Mclarens did better, and although he started better than Hulkenberg, once the German got through, he dropped like a stone through the field, and didn't really ever look like a points scorer. He was so mediocre he would have got my 6 points, if Magnussen hadn't done anything.
Williams: Way off the pace
Haas Mechanics: It's that kind of mistake which loses you WCC places...
Wehrlein: Slower than Ericsson, and poor when being lapped.
Force India: Anonymous

[good_Ralf]

1) The stewards - for the reasons Enforcer gave
2) Max Verstappen - still made a mistake he could've done without

[CoopsII]

Verstappen - I think Ricciardo summed things up quite succinctly. And he's a guy who sort-of likes him, too.
di Resta - Because it was a vintage Reject performance. It was great to see him back for a one-off race, I like it when things like that happen, and it was great that he was bloody awful.

[watka]

1. Magnussen - What a child. Deliberately resorting to dirty driving and then acting like that to Hulkenberg on camera (hilarious, though). On a day where Hamilton even managed a sporting gesture.
2. Palmer - You can finish 11th as often as you like mate but just speak to Gutierrez about that. Plus you trashed your car twice in practice. When all eyes are on you.

[James1978]

1. Verstappen - it might have been a relatively small error, but the consequences were huge.

2. Magnussen - that reaction was pure reject gold.

[novitopoli]

1. Williams - Remember the days when they were contenders for race wins?
2. Heiko Waßer - "Congratulations to Haas for their quick pitstop" - cue to ad break - "Well, Grosjean had to retire..."

[yannicksamlad]

1.Haas - wheelnuts, pitstops, generally dropping the ball
2. Magnussen - for post race live on air insults when he could have actually argued his points

[Bobby Doorknobs]

The New Gucci Warriors - Just give them both 8 points.

[IceG]

(1) The race - boring until the last few laps. Aero-dependent cars and Hungaroring don't mix

(2) The stewards - Verstappen made a small mistake, Hülkenberg kept his foot in for too long

[Bleu]

1. Antonio Giovinazzi
There were no shockingly bad events in the race itself, so I give the nod for him. When taking the spot of one of the race drivers in FP1, the first thing to do is not to crash. Giovinazzi crashed.

2. Williams
They've gone backwards from Austria onwards - three bad weekends in a row even if they got some points in Austria and UK. But scoreless result from Hungary.

1. 2017 aerodynamic regulations
2. Max Verstappen

[WeirdKerr]

1: me for even bothering to watch the race....
2: my HDMI lead that seemed to flick the signal on and off during the build up to send me scrambling round the house to find a better 1

Think yourself lucky you even have that option! I have a TV with one HDMI socket that doesn't work, so I'm stuck with sending the Channel 4 HD signal through a SCART input instead, provided the race is being shown live on Channel 4, which this one wasn't, and the SD signal from RTL is noticeably blockier.

Still, could be worse. At least this setup isn't costing me the equivalent of a 15-year-old Vauxhall Astra every year.

2. Heiko Waßer - "Congratulations to Haas for their quick pitstop" - cue to ad break - "Well, Grosjean had to retire..."

Sounds like Galvão

[Rob Dylan]

And for the ROTR results (drum roll!!!)...

2. Haas/Hulkenberg/Magnussen (all that scrap) 54
3. The stewards 26
4. Williams 22
5. The race 10
- Ferrari 10
- Stoffel Vandoorne 10
- Antonio Giovinazzi 10
- The 2017 Aerodynamic Regulations 10
- Weirdkerr 10
11. Brazil 6
- Paul di Resta 6
- Jolyon Palmer 6
- Heiko Waßer 6
- Weirdkerr's deficient HDMI cable 6

A lot of wildly different nominations for the grand prize in Hungary (two of which involve [i]Weirdkerr[/i]). But the winner, and not with a huge number of votes, is Max Verstappen, for his move which took his teammate out of the race and ruined his own. Though the error itself is up for debate as to its deliberation, the outcome was really awful for Red Bull and was Max's error. I just took all the nominations for the scrappers during and post-race and collected them together. Those nominations launch the participants into runner-up position. Good job?
