Right guys time for Hungary.
Love the track hate the race so as is customary those who can stickout the whole race deserve a medal
I'll update the results after this race weekend. Sorry its been a bit disorganised lately, Rob has decided to take a leave from Simv maybe permenantly, and I've taken over the competition. But I've been swamped lately as well. But fear not it'll be sorted soon.

Enjoy as always and predictions in by the start of qualifying on saturday please.

Off on holiday tomorrow, so can't wait for practice this week, sooooooooo,

Webber, Vettel, Button.

Nice to see you back Rob

Very short for time this week, so I've just copied & pasted the very first reply. I'm blaming Matt if this doesn't work out.

In a possibly suicidal move I'm ditching RBR and Brawn and going with some old favourites

Well Massa is incredibly lucky to be alive.
He's undergone surgery for a cracked bone in the front of his skull and has suffered a concussion.
He's in a medically induced coma and all being well will be revived tomorrow.
His place in the race is unlikely to be filled tomorrow as it requires a special dispensation from the FIA to allow a driver to take the start after Qualy. However in that unlikely event, Marc Gene is the 3rd driver at the track this weekend, and both Luca Badoer and Michael Schumacher are avaliable as replacements at short notice.
Luca Collegiani (or however its spelt) has stated Felipe could be back in the car in 6 weeks. Valencia is the next gp in 4 weeks time.
No names mentioned as of yet  for that race. Although in theory Bourdais would be the most logical choice for a single race replacement as he is the man with the most recent race experience.
Any longer, you'll likely see Schumacher offered the drive first followed by Badoer as he was the man involved most with the F60's development over the winter.

Good race
Nice drive from lewis and Kimi.
Interesting to see the Brawns dropping further and further back. I think the next race or two will decide who Red Bull back for their title charge.
Mclaren are now almost equal to Red Bull for pace Ferrari have jumped Brawn, Its now just a case for Jenson, hoping that Ferrari and Mclaren keep taking points off of Red Bull.

Nasty picture in the sport section of the Sunday Times today. Shows Massa being lifted from the car, and the impact point just above and to the left of his left eye, where the top of the visor and helmet shell overlap. God knows what would have happened had it been an inch lower judging by the state of his helmet.

Hope he gets back in the seat at some point soon. It'll be interesting to see who Ferrari put in the seat for the rest of the season; one driver? Or maybe play a few wildcards?
