Hamilton on pole and Grosjean in 2nd, I think the start tomorrow will be very interesting, hopefully this time Grosjean can hold it together for the whole race.

a pole for hamilton! it's been a while I think.....

[Redketman]

It's tight in the Drivers' Championship:

1. Fernando Alonso 164
2. Mark Webber 124
3. Sebastian Vettel 122
4. Lewis Hamilton 117
5. Kimi Raikkönen 116

6. Nico Rosberg 77
7. Romain Grosjean 76
8. Jenson Button 76

Very important victory for Hamilton today indeed.

Overall I thought it didn't happen much in the 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix though.

[Redketman]

You know whats strange? Maldonado has only scored points twice this year. Bruno, on the other hand, has scored points six times!

The last time Maldonado scored points was when he won in Spain and that was a while ago.

[GtA01]

It was an okay race. Happy for Hamilton, though of course I'd loved for Alonso to win, since I support him and it's his birthday and all that. But anyway... Schui had a frankly dreadful race, I think its time to throw in the towel after this season. Kimi was a bit of a twat for forcing Grosjean off the track, but they both did well so.. yeah.

Raikkonen is making some comeback isn't he? He's one of my favourite drivers. I just love his flat personality. I think it's hilarious how, even after winning a race, he's just like, "yeah well, who gives a sh*t. I can't really be arsed being here" lol

I think/hope he returns to Ferrari, replacing Massa.

he was second today though, if thats what you meant.

I dunno, I sort of liked it when he was at mclaren but now he just seems moody, fair play to him for not letting grosjean past and fighting to stay in touch with Hamilton but he seems so unsatisfied all the time

I knew he came second today dude. I was just talking about him in general. He does appear pretty unsatisfied all the time, but thats what I find hilarious.

I mean all the other drivers jump about like crazed maniacs whenever they win - which is understandable. But kimi is just like..."oh well, who cares" lol

As much as I'd love him at Mclaren, I don't see Hamilton/Button going anywhere soon. However, I think it's pretty obvious Massa is on his way out of Ferrari, unless he somehow finishes on the podium in every race for the rest of the season. Highly unlikely.

Kimi was down because he came 2nd and not first -- professional athletes: always wanting more.

He'll win at spa.

And I wouldn't say he forced grosjean off -- that was precision driving, making sure the tires only touched flat against eachother.

But man I can really sense the tension brewing between vettel and webber again -- this is just like 2009.
I wonder if vettel would go to ferrari?

[Redketman]

Good to see F1 again although it has been raining almost the whole day at Spa-Francorchamps today.

From now one there will be three races a month!

[Redketman]

By the way, Kimi will either win at Spa or retire from the race if we look at historically stats.

He retired from the race in 2001 and 2002. He won at Spa in 2004, 2005 and 2007. He retired once again in 2008 but won in 2009. In 2003 and 2006 there was no Belgian Grand Prix.

Many people think Kimi is the favourite for victory this weekend.

[gta3kuruma]

I would say it's Kimi's best chance at a win this season, I hope he does win both because I like him a lot as a driver and it would shake things up after the 5 week break, makes things a lot tighter for the remaining races of the season.

[Redketman]

Tough for Webber. He has got a five-place grid penalty because of a gearbox change. It's not the first time Webber has had bad luck and he really needs too score more points from now on. Spa is a circuit that should suit Webber though and he could still have a good weekend if he qualifies high today.

[Redketman]

So Jenson Button is on Pole Position for the first time in a Mclaren-car.. I certainly didn't think he would win the qualifying today, rather Alonso or maybe Vettel. Kimi will start from third position which is quite good. He might take Lotus first victory of the season tomorrow but then I think there are many candidates for the top positions. Even the Sauber-cars managed to drive well today.

Massa qualified 14th. I really hope Ferrari gets rid of him as soon as possible.

And what can I say about Mercedes? It's just getting worse and worse..

[gta3kuruma]

wasn't kimi 4th and maldonado 3rd?

I was really surprised when I found out it was Button's first pole for mclaren and even more surprised when I found out it was his first pole since monaco in 2009, I think he can convert it into a win if he's as consistent as he was in qualifying.

speaking of Massa and Ferrari, if he does get replaced I'd like to see Di Resta replace him, I think he's a great driver but hasn't really had much of a chance to prove it so far being at Force India.

Congrats to Button!! The start was horrible, my favourite driver (Alonso) getting caught up in it was a massive shame, but oh well, I'm still happy for Button at least. F*cking Grosjean..

[Redketman]

Grosjean and Maldonado are F1:s two troublemakers. They haven't learned their lessons yet.

Everything looked good for Schumacher during the beginning of the race and I actually thought he could be in 4th or 5th position at the end of the day. But then he drives for Mercedes which is an extremely struggling team nowadays.

[GtA01]

Grosjean has a race ban from Monza and Maldonado a 10 place penalty at Monza for jump starting and a collision with Glock.

[Redketman]

That was a tough and harsh decision because we rarely see any race bans in F1. But I guess it was a right decision because what Grosjean did was unacceptable and he has been involved in collisions before. Not that those other cirumstances really matters though. I'm not suprised that Maldonado was punished either. Both these guys are hot-tempered in race situations at times.

Eat willies Alonso!

Anyone except him for the DWC, please and thankyou. Even if it means Vettel again.
