+1 Typical Hungarian disappointment.
Shame as Massa was brilliant today.
Typical boring Hungary race (where passing is pretty much nonexisting) turned into interesting with Lewis' mishap and Kimi's late charge.
Today again showed how tough F1 cars are in a track like Hungaroring; in the beginning after Kimi got stuck behind Alonso, he seemed to be nobody but once Alonso pitted, he did couple of brilliant laps and was able to pass Alonso and then went to the distance to charge behind Clock and on the otherhand, once Hamilton was behind Alonso, he was nobody and coulodn't do a thing.
Congrats to Clock for his first podium and even more for Heikki for his first win!!! Great to see his face on podium and hear our National Anthem.
Benefited of course from Massa & Hamilton's bad luck but his not the first to do so and that's racing. Hamilton dropping was his only chance to win so I'm glad Hamilton dropped.
Good to see both Finns do the "Finnish podium spray" where you first drink, then spray...
Title chase is pretty tight!
P.S. Wayne, I'm back in town.

I had a feeling you would surface about now glad to see you are not hiding under the table anymore .
Obvious What Kimi's problem is , it takes 60 laps for the Vodka to kick in , must be a new Brew
Just plain **** what happened to Massa today , damn , this was his race and hammy proved once more the racing gods don't sleep, Hungary is where he tried to steal the WDC last year , so a little payback ,,, LAB , huh Hammy !
Three races in a row Kimi has had to pass a renault , he needs to drink coffee like Massa, OK , well maybe a Coffee Liqueur wake his **** up from friday in stead of Sunday afternoon. I really hope Ferrari doesn't use this to shut down Massa's Program now that Kimi is ahead in the WDC points.
The brits can be real **** Oles when they are ready , look at the headlines , what BS....
Kovalainen inherits Hungarian GP win
By Matt Beer Sunday, August 3rd 2008, 13:43 GMT
Heikki Kovalainen took a shock first Formula One victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix after the dominant Felipe Massa suffered an engine failure with three laps to go and Lewis Hamilton fell back with a puncture.
The late drama allowed Timo Glock to take his maiden podium in second place, as the Toyota driver fended off Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari in the closing stages.
Although Hamilton had dominated most of the weekend, it was Massa who surged to the front as soon as the lights went out at the start.
The Ferrari immediately passed second place qualifier Kovalainen, then drew alongside Hamilton on the outside into Turn 1. Massa then locked up both front wheels as he braked extremely late for the corner, but managed to turn in ahead.

Dull as **** race. Congrats to Heikki. I like the guy, quiet, polite, soft spoken without a run on monotone sentence and just goes about his business. I was impressed at Massa's pass of Hamilton at the start. Too bad for Hammy with the flat and all but thats racing same for Fragile Felipe. The best way to describe Felipe is that he's consistently inconsistent. I guess for Kimi the hangover starts wearing off at about 2:00PM wherever he is, maybe he should start/stop drinking about an hour earlier the previous day.
