Good battles like Räikkönen/Verstappen are much better that DRS fly-bys.

Amazingly how people can give much credit to Lewis. It's not like he is destroying Rosberg. Rosberg let him pass in Monaco, which gifted him a win, and Rosberg made a single mistake today by not going to the inside, which puzzles me. We knoe Rosberg has always been on the loosing side when there was a crash. Sure, Lewis is superfast, but he is not one of the greats, by far. If Rosberg comes to close, he just pushes him off. Not too long ago, people went wild if Schumacher did that. Now they laugh at Rosberg.

Talking about Rosberg...what happened to Rosberd?

clearly Mercedes have trouble to overtake other cars

for a Mercedes to pass a Mercedes in this track, only if a backmarker plays a Johansson 1989

they should VSC in the middle of the race to wet the track

I agree. Had there been a few more similar battles throughout the race, it could have been easily 8/10.

no rain next weekend either

Great race! Great weekend! Kimi for president!


I can sincerely recommend Hungaroring for everyone. Great organizing from the track and Hungary. No long waiting anywhere, 5min at max, clean toilets, cold water available, hundreds of taxis, autobahn lanes just for the race, reasonable pricing, great fans that made this race more interesting that I think how you saw it.

Only downsides for me was the flu and the heat combo. But I survived.

Small request for everyone who captured the weekend. If possibly you can identify me from fp1 and qualifying, all material is welcome. I promised to my daughter to wave at her in TV, but she couldn't see those two sessions. So if someone wants to be a hero for me, here's probably the best chance.

Notwithstanding the cat-n-mouse at the end, this track just hurts. It's just such a hateful layout for F1 cars, so many dull, uninspiring corners to watch cars go around, no straight long enough for a proper tow except the start/finish, and that's only if the run out of the final turn is epic, which rarely happens because it's impossible to follow closely through corners.

Raikkonen did his best to work against these issues today, I must admit.

But it's just such a dire racetrack to watch a race on. Possibly even just on TV.

Did Lewis actually give Gutierez the finger? I thought it was the index finger.

He was letting him know what place driver he was holding up.

I wonder what crossover there is between drivers in favour of banning radio and drivers in favour of banning blue flags.

Either you're making generalisations to make a point, or you have no clue where the limit lies between the harsher side of clean racing, and dirty racing. Schumacher in particular used to fluctuate between the two, and people only went wild when he crossed that limit.

An interesting rumour has surfaced on Motorsport.com, suggesting that Hamilton was indirectly responsible for Rosberg's yellow flag investigation.

The stewards had decided not to take action until 19:16, when 'new evidence' was supplied. It has since come to light that Lewis spoke to Charlie Whiting about the flag situation - Toto and Lewis have sought to play down the significance, of course.

Has Lewis remember how team-mates are treating during Hungary qualifying?

It was discussed in the post race conference, and with some very valuable points from Hamilton and Ricciardo. Around 5-6 mins in. The whole conference was actually very interesting and funny, especially the end

I feel that while Lewis and Daniel raised the correct point, Rosberg's view was closer to what race drivers think and how they all act out on the track. It's one of the rare times that I didn't cringe listening to a Rosberg defense so I'll give him this one until the marshalls sort their stuff out.

I believe that any laptime performed with a double yellow anywhere on the track should be plain cancelled. That way the driver just slows down and goes for another flying lap without trying to cheat the system. If the track is okay-ish for a timed lap, then the marshalls whould only put a single yellow.

well, I guess he can make good use of tarmac runoff to allow faster cars by
