Been some great F1 races this season, but this has to be the best so far for me, and not over yet

Hopefully Jenson will win, but - sadly - Vettel will pull out his lead over his nearest rivals - GREAT race !

There's been,



some classic races at the Hungaroring over the years.



Still miss the different sounds of the V12's, V10's and V8's though.



Not looking forward with much interest to 1.5 turbo-motors.

waddo - wrong tires and drive through were hamiltons problem.



He chose to go to internmediate and it was the wrong call. The drive through penatly didnt help, but wrong tire chose cost him.

Thanks, did not understand it was drivers choice for tyres but if he made the mistake then he paid for it badly. Sad but that is what the job is all about.

Not clear who's choice it was to be honest. He was under pressure even before that choice, from the previous choice where he went super soft and other went soft, meaning even without the rain, he was going to have to do an extra stop in most probability.

Hi ErolZ I think the decision to go on another set of super softs when 7 secs in the lead was the first 'wrong decision' - as he wasn't pulling out enough of a lead to get a pit-stop ahead.



Thought how he handled his interview - apologising to Paul di Resta for nearly taking him out - which got him the penalty - was surprisingly mature..



Vettel is the winner today - if ONLY Button had won in Monaco and finished in the UK and DE GPs.. :( .. his win does Vettel a 'favour'

Driver of the day ? - Paul di Resta - he also had had some bad luck in recent races...

You are right the choice to go super soft and not soft was the first bad call, though I think a podium was still possible even with that bad call. Indeed very mature post race interview from Lewis, as the commentators mentioned.
