F1 Hungary

Post by longboard_ric »

What looked to be a fairly boring event at the start turned out to be an interesting race.

Well done Mark Webber, took a gamble and didn't pit under the Safety Car and it paid off.

Vettel was asleep at the wheel under the Safety Car, which probably cost him a win and carried on like a baby at the end. What a Sook.

Michael Schumacher has lost the plot. What he did to Barrichello was totally uncalled for and downright dangerous. He's lucky to have received a 10 place grid penalty, they should have revoked his racing license.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Yes, thank God for that safety wall ending when it did. I thought Rubens handled it well, but it was a bad decision on Schumi's part.

Shumi and Barri never got on all that well as team mates, either. :roll:

For some strange reason I keep hoping for Vettel to crash. :twisted: Good for Mark to show him who's king at Red Bull. 8)

That's because Schumi is a swell-headed, arrogant...etc., and Rubens is an all-around nice guy.

That's real swell of Michael, eh? :mrgreen:

I had always rooted for Rubens, too bad he has not gotten a title, yet. Unfortunately, I don't think that is in the cards for him. :(

I think the stewards came down a little too hard on Michael. He made it clear that he was taking that line and only made one move. It should have been up to Rubens to decide to continue on that path or move around to the outside. Michael was just doing his job trying to get the highest position possible. Yes, he is ruthless and sometimes down right evil, but you don't become a 7 time world champ without taking some risks.

Does anybody remember the Fuji Grand Prix two years ago when Weber did the same exact thing to Massa? No disciplinary action was taken then?

There seems to have been a shift towards more disciplinary action this season from the stewards; given that they now have former/current drivers in race control to help determine what to do regarding incidents, it seems they are more serious in their intent to handing out penalties.

There's no soul left in F1 these days. Four wheeled technology where the robot driving is barely a factor. Unless he screws up of course...
When a driver like Button can win a WC, well, that says it all. (Nice guy tho'...)

Now, what is that NASCAR thing people go on about here... :lol:
