    I might sound retarded as i say this, but is this Alonso now helping Massa keep his seat? I doubt anyone in the right mind would want to go to Ferrari anymore because he's becoming dominant to an extent. Maybe a "Barrichello" of some sort would go there but anyone who wants a good future will have to go to another top team wouldnt they? Especially as it's now effectively team Alonso.

    Bastards! Still 5th is a decent finish considering he should've started 23rd, so I won't complain to much.

    Seb is now 44 points behind Fernando, almost 2 race wins, and only 18 ahead of Lewis who is almost out of it. These last 3 races have really changed this championship.

    Meh just take it on the chin like I have. It won't change anything if we start to believe for one second that the stewards are targeting Seb for some pointless reason.

    Roll on Hungary!

    I think Red Bull can count themselves very lucky today considering what went on this morning.

    Don't know anymore mate the Ferrari is strong in the high speed and Red Bull are slightly weaker in that respect.

    Isn't Hungary a Red Bull circuit? I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong ;) Thing is, Alonso's got some real momentum and a maturity Vettel can only really wait for.

    Considering the the effect it had on the race, from a McLaren or Ferrari point of view Hamilton's challenge on Vettel was the very opposite of stupid. Clearly, Seb has some self-absorption issues.

    Also i did not see Vettel complaining in Brazil 2008 when Kubica and others were unlapping themselves. Double standards i'm afraid from Seb, it's unfortunate because he drove well this weekend but rather than just accept Alonso was quicker he is looking to blame others

    Doesn't mean we should condone or encourage it though.

    CONGRATS ALONSO!!!/SAUBER!!!/RAIKKONEN!!!

    What a fantastic race from the Spaniard, +1000 respect, working with the team well to challenge for the title, look at where they were at the start of 2012.
    Sauber are going to overtake Mercedes by the looks of it, they deserve it. Both Kamui and Perez (You were right Miggins), are growing up quick.
    Raikkonen, in a very good car, is making the most out of it. Credit where credit is due.
    Mercedes are falling as I mentioned before, nice to see the veteran pulling some solid points back for the team, which don't deserve him.
    Special mention to Force India/Williams (Maldonado), who are moving up, not at the rate of Sauber though.

    Unlucky Lewis, it happens to everyone.
    Redbull should not be attacked, as an F1 team they will try to find loopholes in the system, and have done successfully. Not sure about Vettel's overtake on Hamilton, but I am not getting into it as there are many Hamilton fans here.

    Similar layout, downforce levels and tyre allocations to Monaco, where Red Bull and Mercedes were strong. It could be wet again, "patchy light rain with thunder" forecast for 1pm on Sunday, Saturday could be wet, it should be hot and humid. Impossible to predict anything.

    I had a dream Di Resta wins in a wet Hungary and becomes the 8th winner of the season, i believe i said this before Valencia too. Cant see it happening tbh.

    I believe I mentioned a few races intof the season that Mclaren would regret not picking up enough points whilst they held the advantage, whilst Alonso's early points scores in a dodgy car (especially his win at Malaysia) would give him a serious advantage when the car did come to them, as it inevitably would.

    I don't like Alonso as a person but I do appreciate that we are in the presence of greatness at the moment. And being proven right is just a bonus.

    Cheers. Impossible to predict anything sums it up. Hot and humid is how I always think of it.

    I'm suprised with Silver's previous comments on drivers and steering wheel gestures, no comment on Vettel when Hamilton overtook him?
