Hamilton clearly not happy with his car, yet his team seem quite relaxed about it all. He has certainly got the pace, but will the car last the race?

 

[The Bear]

This is shaping up to be a good race. Especially if we get even more rain.

 

[The Bear]

Wow. That was some overtake around the outside of turn 4 by Hamilton! Incredible bravery.

 

[Nando]

Incredible race. One of Alonso's best ever drives, absolutely insane.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I have no idea how he has done that.

 

[Nando]

And Ricciardo is very very special. Top guy too.

 

[The Bear]

Great race. Not sure how Alonso held those tyres together.

Just watched the race. Brilliant stuff

Felt for Alonso, the man deserves something for dragging an average car. Pure class from him
Hamilton got it spot on with the team "request" to move. Why surrender time, especially as it was looking like he could push for the Top 2. His attitude of "if he gets closer, I will let him by" was correct
Ricciardo is not only a great driver but has a great personality. Hope he wins a Title or at least gets a chance to challenge for one
Vettel was either amazingly lucky with his spin that stopped 2 inches from the wall or he displayed some uber Skillz

Normally the Hungarian Grand Prix is one of the most predictable, but yesterday it was a superb race. A fantastic drive by Alonso with Vettel not far behind, but Hamilton showed what F1 should be all about. He took a few chances with some of his overtaking attempts, but he did so in a controlled manner, stalking his prey and striking at just the right time. And whether he ignored team orders is not important, he was in the car and knew he had a chance of a podium finish and went for it.

Simply a great race in testing conditions.

Bernie offers to pay 100m Euro's to end the Bribery case against him in Germany.

Prosecutors set to accept the bribe later today.

Was just thinking that. Hahaha

Max Verstappen announced as driving for Toro Rosso in 2015. He's 17 next month apparently...

 

[Carrotdude]

That's crazy!

 

[Nando]

Harsh on Vergne. He did well up against Ricciardo last season and look at him now! Hopefully he can find another drive.

 

[Carrotdude]

I suppose Toro Rosso are always looking for that 'special' driver to eventually go on and win things at Red Bull and have decided Vergne won't be that man. Verstappen seems ridiculously young though, he's not allowed to drive a road car yet!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Changes ahead of Spa this weekend:

Kobayashi out for Andre Lotterer at Caterham.

Chilton out for Alexander Rossi at Marussia.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Scrub the second half of that, M-Chiltz's Dad has obviously posted his monthly cheque to Marussia now and he's back in.
