Personally I am interested in the race with cautious optimism.
The one area Ferrari still have a big advantage is their starts. This was the case even in the rain at silverstone where Kimi managed to get a decent start but was blocked in by Kovi and Kubica was it? alowing Lewis to go off into turn one side by side with Kovi. So in tomorrows case I am hoping Massa can at least jump Kovi at the start. I think we are now at the point where he has to also go for the risky option into turn one if he does.  Whats annoying is, once again Kimi is back down the grid, and on the dirty side of the track to go with it. So even with a jump if he can't clear a couple of cars he's going to be of no use. Kovi hasn't shown me yet he can bring home a 1-2 for Mclaren, and I think Lewis is lighter than both him and Massa, 1 lap heavier than Heikki and 2 to 3 more than Massa. Lewis needs heikki to end lap one in 2nd or it could be a longer race than he may like. But I think it's going to be tough for anyone to come close.
Safety cars might play a big part in this race.

This 3 week break cant come soon enough. Maybe Kimi will pull his head out of his backside again like last year.

Good on Kovi for his first win, but I really wouldn't want to be Massa right now  ::) :P ;D

Has to be one of the most boring races of the year so far (on the track) until the last three laps. I feel for Massa, that was a big kick in the slats. A few questions need to be asked about the fuel fires. Commentators saying it was down to the heat, not a problem in Turkey, Bahrain etc. Now a three week break, what am I going to do on a Sunday now............get a life I suppose ;D

Thats about as cruel as it gets. And Mclaren should come away from that thanking their lucky stars. As Massa had that.
But oh well Hungary strikes again,
Should have been a Massa, Lewis, Kovi finish.
Really not happy about this.

I must admit, I let out an enormous YELP! when massa broke down and when Lewis had the flat.  Better than coffee in the morning! ;)

Felipe had it in the bag, shame he didn't complete the race.. it would have opened it up and made the season a bit more exciting.
Lewis should be thanking his lucky stars, he got lucky twice today..
Well done Timo, a podium well deserved.
Results will be up as soon as I can get the missus off the PC in the front room where the spreadsheet is saved.... though i can't see anyone getting many points from today  ;)

Ahhh i missed getting any predictions in due to moving house, and then waiting 6 days for BT to solve a line fault, then another week to get BT broadband(although currently its like BT dial up, and im not too happy considering its the top option with the fancy hub and all that >:().......still, im not sure it would have made a difference, id a gone with a Hamilton win, massa second, and maybe kova third.....oh well!

I thought it was a good race however, unusual to see a ferrari go bang these days.....and another below par performance from the 'iceman', i thought anyway.

Noted no press conference! Just several minutes of DC Blunders on Lewis, Lewis and Lewis...sigh ;D
