    2016 Hungarian GP @ the Hungaroring

    If this race is anything like last year's, then we're in for an exciting weekend. Will Nico lose his championship lead? Will Red Bull take command and go 1-2? Will Ferrari shock everyone and steal the race? Will McLaren duplicate its success from last year, or do even better?

    Discuss.

    Just looking at the driver points and I like what I'm seeing here. Only 1 point difference between the Mercs drivers.

    I think it will be interesting with the Haas strategy to see how they do in future seasons to make sure they continue to improve throughout the season. I don't think they are any worse than how they started this year. The teams around them have just gotten better.

    Hamsandwich crashes out of FP1...but not before setting the 5th fastest time of the day. Ric is 2nd fastest, half a second behind Rosberg and yet again, the Mercs just look to be on a totally different level to everyone else...


    The McLarens in 7th and 8th is a nice thing to see.

    Both McLarens in the top 10 is huge.

    These radio regulations are absurd.

    Good race for HAM. Controlled it all the way. Ricciardo did ok as well. Max was lucky to get away with some questionable moves.

    Another boring GP. Too predictable, race was decided at first turn.

    I did not think Max's defense was over the line. The second moves that Kimi was bitching about seemed to me to be Max's prerogative through the corner. He can move right and then left when the turn is a left. Make a move, Kimi. If you're faster you make it stick.

    Lot of tension in that race, even though none of it actually delivered big drama. Ferrari needs to really take it to Red Bull or there will be more heads rolling in Maranello.

    I also think there will be real drama at Merc as Hamilton starts getting grid penalties for the inevitable power unit and gearbox changes. That's just the handicap that Nico needs to keep it very close for the WDC.
