Following on from teabagyokel thread on your best race. I thought i'd create a thread on your worst race. Please don't put races where they was a death as they all awful circuimstances.
The 2005 USA Grand Prix was an embrassment to F1. But mine comes the following year at the 2006 USA GP.
The Race
Well this race was doomed as soon as the 22 cars headed into turn two. Mark Webber caused the first collision with then Red Bull driver Christain Klien which also took out Frank Montagny. But it was the crash into turn 2 that finished the race IMHO. Montoya stupidly turned into his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen and caused more clamity in the process. Montoya then clouted Jenson Button who in return got his right tyre caught by Nick Heidfeld, that resulted in the BMW driver doing a triple roll over. Thankfully the German driver escaped unhurt. Montoya's bad day continued when he cliped Scott Speeds Toro Rosso. 7 cars had retired on the first lap alone but within 10 laps of the race they was 10 car's down.
By the end of the race it was a Ferrari 1-2 , with Surprise Surprise Michael Schumacher coming home 1st, Felipe Massa coming home 2nd and Giancarlo Fisichella rounding out the podium positions. By the end of the race there was only 9 cars running, Nico Rosberg was the unlucky one to miss out on points (back then points only went to 8th place).
After that race we saw nothing from Juan Pablo Montoya again. Mclaren fined him and banned him from the next race.
What about you?
