Racing Bonehead of the Week

It's time for Racing Bonehead of the Week!

In an unexpectedly close contest, a clear winner emerged this morning when Sebastian Vettel attempted an amazingly boneheaded maneuver when he tried to overtake his teammate Mark Webber. That he only took himself out of the race is amazing - he almost took Mr Webber out as well! Mr Vettel's momentary inspiration allowed Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button to take the first and second places, leaving Mr Webber - who was onto an easy win - in a problematic third.

Moments later, Mr Button did his level best to emulate Mr Vettel. In doing so, he gains third place as Racings' bonehead.

Second place has to go to Danica Patrick and her odious outburst at her team. In blaming them for the failings of her car, she firmly told the world where she stands: for herself. Never mind that her early promise has devolved into semi-interesting talent; if she fails at her job, it must be the team. Not for her the trials and tribulations of pulling a finish, never mind a win, in brutal competition. If her team fails to deliver the winning car, what's a girl to do? Be a bitch and moan about it, apparently. Instead of taking her inspiration from Michael Schumacher (who once won a race with only one gear available), no, her inspiration comes is clearly Sarah Palin. Someone else who blames everyone else for her own mistakes, misjudgments and nonsense.

So, in order: Sebastian Vettel, Danica Patrick and Jensen Button.

What a weekend! Such competition. Our winners indulged in behavior amateurs and two year olds would be ashamed of.
