amazing when you think what Hungary was under the commies vs now today and such a glamourous, capitalist event.

[Chode]

“Lap Record 1:19.071 by Michael Schumacher (2004)”

As long as it’s dry. That record should be broken.

Present Boss!

[Seaplaner]

Thanks muchly, Chode ol' chum, for reminding that there was another race before the teams take a break.

DVR set, go Ricciardo! (and McClaren Honda and Haas)!

[wita]

Anyone but Hamilton. He is a great crowd pleaser, just not my guy. A bit of luck to McLaren maybe.

[Chode]

here’s hoping Haas is using race setup and tires

[Chode]

unfortunately all Honda does these days is change feet while stepping on it;s crank

[Seaplaner]

here’s hoping Haas is using race setup and tires

Yes, start w the basics, eh?

That said, they're pretty impressive for a fairly new team.

[wita]

Well, the qualifying results were at least in the hopeful category for McLaren, and Ferrari breaking the track record by almost three seconds puts a ball in Ferrari’s court. Just maybe the battle for the championship won’t be a Mercedes runaway.

and Kimi nipping at Seb’s heels

but they smashed the record BIGLY

[Lockbox]

Too bad ‘Max the Axe’ nick name for a racer is already taken!

[Yo-Yo]

I watched the race last night via DVR, and I admit I zipped through much of the race, but I don’t understand why Hamilton gave up the third podium spot to Botas on the last lap.

What was the team strategy behind letting Botas earn more points than Hamilton, especially when Hamilton was only one point behind Vettel going into the race? From a constructor’s championship viewpoint, Mercedes still came in 3rd and 4th.
