German GP got over but now comes the Hungarian GP. Whose got the best aerodynamic package for a short circuit? Have some doubts whether Williams will once again be a threat to the Mercedes as I haven't really seen them being quick in a slow speed designed circuit. Perhaps RBR can do something? Or Alonso?

Monaco is the slowest turd on the schedule, did Merc not dominate that slow course?

Yes, they did. Was wondering if Williams are now good in slow speed circuit.

Bottas seemed to get off the slower corners quicker than Hamilton at Germany, doubt the damaged wing had any impact at those speeds. Would like to see Bottas challenge for a win, and Massa either take responsibility for his own lapse in judgment, or just retire.

That was a really good and an interesting race that I didn't think it would have been from the start. Rainy, slow cars, crashing. I thought this was going to be a very dull and a boring race. Interesting calls/strategies were played out by the teams as per to the different events that were happening every few laps. Great dive from Ricciardo on Alonso in turn 1. Just one of those kamikaze moves like how Kobayashi did it back in 2010 Japanese GP. Great drive from Alonso and perhaps a sight of relief from Ferrari to see their top man on the podium for the first time this season. Can't wait for Ldm to give a speech. Another great drive from Hamilton who started from the pit lane and somehow made it to the podium. Regardless of the situation or any miss-happenings that happens at Mercedes the team are still well capable of pulling of their trick and still win the race. I think this was Kimi's best race so far if I'm not mistaken. Hamilton still doesn't look too happy despite knowing that he remained ahead of him and closed the gap closer this time. I think he needs to cheer up. Daniel being as cheerful and lively as ever and never ceases to smile. I can sense a potential future champion of him and of Bottas too.

Phenomenal race - hopefully Bernie watched and recognizes he doesn't have to eff with a good product.

SC after SC. It's the first time in I don't know how many years that I've seen a car crash behind the SC.

There are reports (or rumours) of putting in ballasts in some of the leading championship cars to provide more entertaining for the sport, to give the mid pack runners a chance.
Sigh ..... F1 is dumb, deaf, and blind! What's wrong in consulting with the fans first and foremost before coming up with such stupidity ahead??????

I wonder why Mercedes had hard time catching up to Ferrari then getting passed by Redbull in last laps, when all other time Mercedes was so superior they would just eat the whole field. Prior to Hungarian GP there was a meeting on how to make the sport more entertaining, out of that meeting came that stewards should ease off a bit on penalties during the race. There was unsafe release, there was bunch of touching but no penalties. They are changing because they got back flavio briatore back as advisor.
Member
Yes, I've heard of Briatore returning back as an advisor and who knows what awaits more for the future of F1.
How old were the tyres on Hamilton and on Alonso's car in the final stint?
Member
30+ laps on Hamilton and Alonso's tires. Of course the Redbull will blow past them...
Member
Man, what an incredible race. I was on the edge of my seat. Fantastic run by Ricciardo!
