Yipee!!! Button won!!!!!!!! :D :D
Ja, was quite an interesting race, lots of stuff happened, a crash or two always makes things more interesting.
I seriously need to get DSTV though, watching the F1 at 24:00 means that I can only get like 3 to 4 hours of sleep :(

Go to your local sports bar?
i heard that Schumi did actualy got one point yesterday due to a disqualification.
Do you think there is any truth to the rumours that the GPs lately have been fixed to make it more exciting?

I seriously doubt it. There's too much money in it and the teams put a lot of money in. If there is any kind of fixing then it would destroy the sport very very quickly. Imagine if one of the manufacturers were involved and it came out in public how it would damage their image (possibly beyond repair)

Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix marked Renault’s first double retirement of the year. It wasn’t a great day for title rivals Ferrari either. That was until BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica was disqualified, turning the Italian team’s one point into three, and putting them just seven behind Renault in the constructors’ table.
On top of that, Fernando Alonso’s advantage over Michael Schumacher in the driver standings narrowed to ten points.
2006 Driver's Championship:
1 Fernando Alonso Spanish Renault 100
2 Michael Schumacher German Ferrari 90
3 Felipe Massa Brazilian Ferrari 52
4 Giancarlo Fisichella Italian Renault 49
4= Kimi Räikkönen Finnish McLaren-Mercedes 49
6 Jenson Button British Honda 31
7 Juan Pablo Montoya Colombian McLaren-Mercedes 26
8 Rubens Barrichello Brazilian Honda 21
9 Nick Heidfeld German Sauber-BMW 19
10 Ralf Schumacher German Toyota 16
11 David Coulthard British RBR-Ferrari 14
12 Pedro de la Rosa Spanish McLaren-Mercedes 10
12= Jarno Trulli Italian Toyota 10
14 Jacques Villeneuve Canadian Sauber-BMW 7
15 Mark Webber Australian Williams-Cosworth 6
16 Nico Rosberg German Williams-Cosworth 4
17 Christian Klien Austrian RBR-Ferrari 2
18 Vitantonio Liuzzi Italian STR-Cosworth 1
2006 Constructor's Championship:

Yeah it was quite an exciting race - especially when Alonso crashed out, Schumi zoomed around the circuit...what a bummer he crashed out on the 68th lap :(
I'm glad that the tide seems to be turning in favour of Ferrari though :D

I don't have a problem with Ferrari so much, mainly with the arrogant nob of a cheater Schumacher. Whichever team he drives for is the team I won't support.

Hmm let's see, numerous attempts to run Montoya off the track in recent years, trying to run Villeneuve of the track in 1997 when he was going for his title, deliberately cruising during qualifying at Monaco this year in an attempt to slow down other qualifiers etc etc. and the list goes on. And now you're telling me he's not a cheater?
Yes he's a good driver, but there's no need to resort to cheap and dirty tactics.

LOL :D
I remember the commentators (I think we get the ITV or Channel 4 feed) who are British, saying that Button "was the next big thing". Of course the British press over-rated him and he disappeared from grace :p
Well done on the win, but will you be waiting another 6 years?
Oh yes and dont forget, that about three years ago, Button did an interview in some racing magazine, were he claimed that he was the best driver in formula 1 at that time.:eek: and the only reason he wasnt wining races was due to his car. Now i cant stand shummi but if he had been driving for BAR/HONDA they would not have taken so long to win a race. :rolleyes:

These tactics you are referring to are being used by everyone.
Being nice gets you nowhere.
Nice guys finish last, as the saying goes. :rolleyes:

I don't understand why you all hate Michael Schumacher so much. He is a real great guy and a real great racing driver. Sure he makes mistakes, but who doesn't. He doesn't have to keep paying for his. If you keep his mistakes against him,it makes me wonder about the kind of person you are. What would you do if someone keep hammering about something that happened a long time ago. You really have to get your priorities straight and then you'll see that you have been wrong all this time about Michael.

The only arrogant nob is you. It takes one to know one. Michael have never cheated in any race in his career,so please get your facts straight before you bash him again

Maybe you should open your eyes and not call people arrogant nob's, typical schummi supporter, i think you need to do some research about his tactics and get your facts right.

funny how schumacher is called a cheat etc etc for manipulating the system to his benefit.
yet people like beckham and ronaldo are hailed as the "greatest footballers ever" even though they dive, kick, play dead etc when needed.
dont blame the man, blame the system. schumacher won a race by taking his penalty pit stop on the last lap, and the pit was after the finish line. he didnt cheat, the system allowed for this.
if this was snooker, then you could say he doesnt really play in the spirit of the game, but it isnt snooker.

I think ms is a cheat. I also think beckham is a girl and ronaldo is far less than he was ever made out to be and a cheat too.:D
Now what?:p
It motor racing and he doesn't play in the spirit of the game. snooker has sht to do with it.:cool:

Some one on the track is going to take allanso out of the race so M.S. can retire with a win. I don't like the idea but is there anyone who would like to bet against that.
NB. Might even be his own garage.... Isn't Allanso moving to Mclaren next year.... makes one think hey ....
I don't like the idea but is there anyone who would like to bet against that.
My money is staying in my pocket on this one. I wouldn't put it past ms.:mad:

Ag ja well, still an awesome driver. If he hadnt cheated maybe he would have only snatched up the titles 6 times instead of 7...erm...still bloody good if you ask me :rolleyes:
But he's mos gone next year...so let's leave personal feelings out of it and just look forward to a lekker race this Sunday
Goooo Yamamoto :D
