The Official Not606 Hungarian GP Chat & Predictions

[tomcat606]

I didn't see anyone else completely go off the track like Vettel.

I saw Alonso in Hockenheim many times in Quali.....

 

[di Fredsta!]

The difference being his actual pole time he didnt

Anyone know if Hamilton could get in trouble for blocking Maldonado?

He moved out of the way, the replay showed that clearly.

Well done Max Chilton, 1st GP2 win.

 

[Di Resta is faster than u]

Hamiltons not the best starter, could have Grosjean leading into turn 1 but he's on the dirty side. The 1st good starter on the clean side? Vettel

Hamilton has won the race already.

Superb performance from Hamilton: a well-deserved pole position. However, he has tended to bog down at the starts, so will have to be on his game against Grosjean: Lotus have tended to be very quick off the mark.

Button just cannot work the rear end of that car like Hamilton. Then again, neither can any other mere mortal. Please do not accuse me of fan worship: my money was on Button for this weekend (and still is, unfortunately!). It's just an exaggeration of my respect for what his team mate is doing. I am serious when I say I believe the McLaren is only on a par with the other top cars now. Button appears out of sorts because he is teamed with a driving genius. Apologies if that's painful to hear.

Also a better performance from Senna to get into Q3 (for the first time, I think?).
Rosberg's 13th was lower than I expected; but I fully expected the woeful performance from his team mate in a thoroughly embarrassing 17th! No wonder EMSC didn't want to swap drivers with me in the sweepstakes! Then again, my driver Webber didn't do too well either…
Grosjean was very impressive too. I believe Lotus have a true top car: probably better than Red Bull now that their extra wings have been clipped, although Vettel's untidy and inconsistent driving of late suggests to me that he is somewhat rattled.

Someone (sorry for momentarily forgetting who) hinted at Red Bull's 'traction control' earlier in this thread. The engine mapping Red Bull were using was producing non-linear torque, relative to throttle. The effect was that whilst almost at full throttle (let us use the example of 95%), the engine was producing significantly less torque than 95% of its maximum, which of course occurs at 100% throttle (unless they'd fiddled with that too). The result was a far more manageable, 'softer' traction but this is only half of the story!…

– At least as significant as the above reduction in torque, is the fact that 95% throttle it is still producing 95% exhaust gases, which of course are blown such that they give an aerodynamic benefit. Therefore they were getting more downforce at precisely the same time as getting a more tractable car! WIN-WIN !! -No wonder they were getting their DRS open before all others…

hamilton fan boyism on speed here folks ,


mclaren have had by far the quickest car all weekend so far with the raft of upgrades that worked so well at germany that have carried forward into this weekend , hamilton puts it on pole as he should do and all of a sudden he is a " driving genius " doing things that no other " mere mortal " can do ,

please do us all favour

Grosjean's starts also tend to be better than Hamilton's but you're right about the dirty side, which can count for a bit more at this circuit than most others.

Twice, but whats that got to do with it?

I knew there'd be one. That's quite an attack for a first post. Then again, I get the feeling we've met before…

Typical Hamilton hater here. He puts it on pole, and apparently always should have done, would have been a twat if he didn't etc etc etc

 

[allsaintchris.]

Yeah but did he gain an advantage. You shouldn't punish time costing errors.

Making the arc of a corner wider means you can carry more speed.

White lines may as well not exist for Vettel to show where the track limits are. He makes up his own circuits as he goes along.

 

[Di Resta is faster than u]

Quite a lot of Hamilton hate here all of a sudden. I don't why specifically this time, there is no controversy anywhere.

I'm not such a big fan of Vettel but I can admire his driving and recognise his talent. I thought his Valencia pole was awesome. I was glad he didn't win but I didn't start posting a load of hate.

Anti-Hamilton ramblings from 'Fred123'...

I would say welcome back Martial but I doubt you're that welcome!

Some poeple have quite rightly posted that it was a great lap which it was, much the same as Alonso/Vettel get lauded when they pull out something good to.

What's your issue? I can;t see anyone going overboard, in fact Cosi's post barely mentioned him as he concentrated on other aspects of qualifying/rac etc, yet you've singled him out for fan boyism!

Anyway, enjoy your brief spell on here whilst you can.

 

[di Fredsta!]

Just so people know, that Fred isnt me! It's kind of pleasing that it's Hamilton on pole and not Webber or Vettel.

 

[Delete Me]

I thought that was a great lap by Lewis in my opinion but would of enjoyed it a bit more if Seb had the car to push him a little bit more to make the Lewis fans sweat a bit

Sadly this is working in Alonso's favour regardless where Lewis and Seb are, he's still in front of his nearest rival and you would expect to see Lewis and Seb evenish out on points and maybe slightly get ahead of Webber but it would still be 30+ points if everything goes in Lewis' and Sebs favour.

Grojsean is the only problem for Lewis though going into the first corner, they are fast off the line!

It's okay, we've got a fair idea who it is

Subtlety is not something he understands. Probably finds it long worded gobbledy-gook akin to a certain speech that he considers to be long-winded, but was in fact very short and concise..........
