Got to watch this tonight but seems a easy/good win for Hamilton this one. Yeah Vettel/Ferrari seem to have lost their way over the last few races and now the closeness of the gap makes things very interesting for Hungary.

Looks like the F1 teams will have to adopt the Halo device next season. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/40663158A bit mixed about this to be honest. It's good to improve safety but some aspects of this wouldn't prevent some of the recent issues Bianchi, Massa etc. that have happened. F1 also needs a bit of risk too imagine today's drivers in the Senna/Prost/Mansel/Piquet cars of 1983-92? They wouldn't last.

The Halo is soooo ugly and must surely impair vision. Motorsport is dangerous, it says on every ticket to any form of race/rally. I know you have to reduce the risk as much as possible but if they're going to do this they may as well remove open cockpit racing altogether.

The Halo is a good safety concept its just as Steve says its damn ugly. The centre post will surely cause blind spots and would probably impede vision at critical moments like the start and first corners of races.

I have heard one thing on the news about this race ! Unfortunately the Hungarian GP is not one of the F1 races shown live on tv here. I will be watching the replay tonight.

You didn't miss much Batgirl. Team orders played a major part.

Here's the results from the BBC site BG. m.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/40768991As Gene said the race was all decided by team orders and the real action (or stupidity) was Verstappen's smash into Ricardo which potentially cost Red Bull a win. IMO do think Verstappen needs to think a few times before he acts. A great talent, potential champion but if he carries on like this won't happen. Also smacked a bit of jealousy and petulance that he's had a poor season and Ricardo's taken advantage this year too - rightly so too. At least the title race is wide open too bring on the season battle!
