2013 Hungarian Grand Prix Thread

Honorable mention to Van der Garde for his best finish yet with P14.

Meanwhile, I'd say Lewis just delivered the drive of the season, in a car that was not the fastest in either qualifying or race trim.

Yep.

[Tazio]

sorry Vettel, you took your shot and came up bumpkus. Deal with it, kid.

Well, that was a brilliant drive from Hamilton. It was rather lucky at times but one doesn't win without the fastest car without a slice of luck. He drove perfectly and it was a well-deserved victory.

This was rather OK for an Hungarian GP - more on-track action that we've seen on previous Hungarian GPs, although IMHO a bit dull compared to other races in this season. Personally I don't enjoy it much when positions are decided by strategy rather than fighting on the track. I guess the fact that Alonso didn't have a lot to do today besides trying to keep position made it rather boring for me as well. :P

Nice to see in the podium interview that Vettel down-played his "heat of the moment" complaints about the incident near the end of the race, and that he and Kimi are pals again.

Not that he is a stranger to putting a good face on for the press. Anyway, I completely understand his frustration because it doesn't feel good to have a faster car for a lot of laps and being unable to overtake.

You're beggining to sound like a Vhat or a Garry. Be careful.

First of all.
It was plain to see that Button, although doing well today, did play his part in holding up faster cars throughout the racer
second, and more importantly my annoyance has less to do with button and more to do with the sky broadcast team, who seem to have made it a point this weekend to play up button's prowess
and I quote
"a master here in Hungary" said in FP1, despite Hamilton winning 3 times here
"totally destroyed Hamilton in the 2012 race" said in FP2 which was wrong and ridiculous
etc.

He got involved in an incident and i did not agree with the perspective of the sky crew
he then did hold up some of the faster drivers, which i'm not complaining about since it benefited hamilton
that's pretty much the breadth of my annoyance. if he drives brilliantly in the next race and does well. i'll applaud his efforts
as i've done in the past as recently as Monaco this year, where he did very well

don't be so quick to or shortsighted to lump me in with those likes.
one is still allowed to criticize actions right?

[Sage-sg]

Great race! Kimi the best! I have enjoyed every moment the race!

[steveaki13]

Grosjean has just said sorry for his move left on Button.

Rightly was miffed about his Penalty though

Yer I am sorry. I was wrong to say that.

You're not in that bracket. I thought you seemed to be laying into JB a bit much, and over reacted.

Sorry Truefan.
