Default Hungarian Grand Prix.......Spolier Alerts

Qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix will soon be starting.

I didn't think I would be watching it live as I was due to be at Snetterton for qualifying of the British Touring Cars.

I'm now going to Snetterton for the race day only so will watch the F1 qualifying instead.

Will have to watch the F1 race after I get back from the BTCC so I'll have to avoid any spoilers on here

Well, what's the reckoning! Will Bottas still be Hamilton's teammate next season!

Sadly for him, I think he won't after today's race, and mainly because he's too nice, not a fighter.
The race was pretty good, and with more overtaking than I've ever seen there before.

The last 3rd of the race was an edge of the seat finale with qually lap after lap to reel in Max. Great strategy but he still had to get the job done!

Eau Rouge has to be one of the most spectacular corners on any circuit.

Great race, in fact the Hungary & the German GP have been Stella. you've got to feel for Verstappen losing out but what an epic call by Merc to bring Lewis in for tyres when they did, Call of the season for me


I wonder how McLaren are feeling since dumping Honda and seeing the Red bulls up there with Mercedes & Ferrari with that Honda engine now!
