The rain certainly liven the Hungarian race, lots of cars going sideway, overtaking especially by Alonso and MS, and Raikaneon crashes out of 1st place. Of course Button 1st win after 100 plus races.
Button won!!! Honda finally does it on its own

Personally I find Ferrari/MSC made a very bad move not to change to dry tyres with around 15 laps to go. With the pace shown during qualifying, there should not be a problem for Michael to overtake Pedro after tyre change, with even a chance to attack Button. They only got themselves to blame to only manage to score 1 point instead of at least 8 points.
Never create what you can't control
Dramatic race.
JB won after 113 attempts to be exact. Didn't put a foot wrong, but I actually expected Honda to win much much earlier considering their huge budget.
On another note, JV is confirmed to be out of BMW Sauber. Off to NASCAR with JPM?

wonder if anyone here knows what caused the mechanical failure for MS's car?
It was a broken track rod (steering system I think), when Heidfeld overtakes and they touched. Also the intermediate tyres failed them, as there less grip when the track was getter drier.
yup. didn't see it on the replays though...
then there's alonso with his loose wheel nut!! LOL!! I was cheering my head off when I saw Alonso in trouble(Schumie Fan!!).. but then I stopped when I realised what happened... That's no way to go out.. Quite sad..

Did you catch the part whereby Alonso over took MS car on the outside sector of the track? Renault 'Mass Damper' thingy really work! It managed to put down all the power unto the 4 wheels.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

Yes, daring overtaking on the outside of MS car driving line and also when the water spray hamper your view.
so, who will win in the coming Turkish GP? MS or FA? getting too interesting.
oh.. michael got 1 point at Budapest GP due to Kubica's disqualification because of car underweight.
how do we bet on the race in Singapore ah?
This is something I'm quite familiar with lor so I don't mind playing now and again.. haha

Not hoping for rain but they had too much trust in MS and Bridgestone performance, which backfired.
According to Ross Brawn, "In the final stages, we decided to leave Michael out on track on standard rain tyres, because we hoped we could hang on to a good position."
Uhm... isn't the mass damper banned from Hungary GP as well?!?
MW is confirmed with the RBR seat next year patnering DC. Where does that leave CK? Possibly STR?
I also tot so..?
Mark Webber is confirmed with the RedBullRacing seat next year patnering David Coulthard. Where does that leave ?CK?? Possibly (S)Toro Rosso
deciphered as much as I could.. LOL

Huh, my colleague told me otherwise. I thought what he told me to be the truth. He heard it while watching the race before it started.

Singapore has joined A1 Grand Prix -the world cup of motorsport. New season begins 1st Oct 06, at Zandvoort the Netherlands, drivers will be Dennis Lian and Hafiz Koh.
yup.. wasn' really interested in A1 before due to the fact that all cars are the same. I like it when little tweaks here and there affect the car's performance. I can enjoy a race without cast differences in technology due to different constructors.. but when tweaks are not allowed it gets booring..
now however.. haha..
all year round racing.. woohoo!!
Singapore may even host an event.. It's time the Sinjiapore Gahmen open their eyes to the enormous commercial potential for this.
Next stop.. F1!!!
esp since ecclestone is keen on here..

Sorry, old habits die hard.
CK = Christian Klien
STR = Scuderia Toro Rosso
Regarding mass dampers, news snippet from Saturday (bold is mine)...
Briatore's statement was tantamount to an accusation that the sport's ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA), has been fixing the results of races by interfering with the interpretation of the regulations.
He said he did not understand the decision by the sport's ruling body that has deprived Renault of their important 'mass damper' system for this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, as it did last weekend in Germany."
Supposedly Singapore is to host an A1GP race, surely that must be a street circuit. Part of Orchard Road perhaps? Muahaha...
mad ah? wahaha..
heard they got one old track that doesn't fit F1 regulations but could be converted. I assume A1 may think of that venue as well?
Otherwise, I vote simei(since u voted orchard..)
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
I second the vote for Simei! There's a killer turn facing Blk 108.
