I watch the BBC feed and I constantly wonder if the guys are actually watching the race.

After Hamilton got him in traffic, they were completely baffled about why Webber's DRS didn't open until late down the straight.

Guys, if you were paying attention, you would see when Webber opened the wing THAT'S when the back in got loose, had to close it, gather the car back up and then reopen.

Geez.


And completely agree on Hamilton's penalty. Whether you're on the track or not, you have to re-enter the race safely, forcing another car off track is not.

What a race! Cant wait to read how Hami thinks the FIA stole a victory from him. I was calling for a drive through after that bonehead move

psht, racing's rubbing boy.

Deserved win for JB

+1
definitely fitting since it's his 200th race AND his first win was here. :)

i was going crazy hearing that its raining, then it stops. i cant imagine how frustrated Hamilton was to keep switching tires.

Hamilton's crew screwed him over, I was flipping my scheiße when I saw him go on inters.

I agree with that, deserved drive through, and JB deserved the win. His and Vettel's engineers made the right call.

^^^ true, but if anyone has the "winning from pole" formula worked out it's vettel. That's his strength. I just hope he at least has to work for it a bit.

[E30Kaiser]

yeah I'd be breaking curfew too :)

Let's see if getting pole really doesn't matter that much at this track. We'll find out tomorrow.

Probably won't since Hamilton saved so much tire compared to everyone around him and still almost had pole. Alonso and Vettel already got my fantasy team started right this weekend though unlike the past two.

hmm, I'm sensing that redbull is hiding something from everyone. They are the favorites for this weekend but they don't run 1st and 2nd in both practices? I'm calling bs on that, they're sandbagging it.

The car has looked to be behind the other 2 top teams the past few races in race pace, so it may be accurate, but Red Bull always just tests and crap on friday and doesn't worry about qualifying runs until saturday p3, so it could just as easily reflect that.

Edit: Vettel to the top!

I don't think so, I reckon they'd want to assert themselves on top straight away, especially considering the last few races and now coming to a high downforce track like the Hungaroring. But I guess we'll see in FP3.

Hmmm, so tough to predict. Mercedes looked strong in pre-season testing this year, but that's failed to yield much.

Even though I'm a huge Webber/RBR fan (always been a fan of Webber for his straight talk) I like pulling for the underdogs, like Kobash.

If FIF1 can give Di Resta a good car next year, I think he will consistently battle for GOOD points.
