Very odd race again. Boring in the beginning, but rather entertaining later on.
This GP was all about luck. Both the good and bad sort of that.
Massa made an really great move and did everything right...until you-know-what. I dont find the guy particularly interesting, but this was definately his race all the way, or at least 3 laps short of all the way.
Kimi was more than lucky this time.
Perhaps it's poetic justice for all the times he has lost GPs because of really BAD luck. Whatever it was - it surely wasnt just good driving that secured his 3rd place.
He seems demotivated or indifferent somehow, but the break he caught gave him the drive of old times, and a really great hunt for Glock.
Dunno what happened during the Massa-incident, but suddeny he lost 4-5 secs to Glock, who looked like a man getting ready to be eaten by Kimi.
I hope Raikkonnen will keep this up for the remaining season.
Hamilton was definately unlucky.
He did a nice job of simply keeping up with Massa, but the puncture (perhaps caused by the immense strain Hungaroring puts on the cars?) wasnt exactly heaven sent.
Only good thing was the fact that the puncture came pretty close to the end of his second stint, or at least in a way that allowed McLaren to keep a regular 2-stop strategy.
After that he drove a lot more feverishly and seemed to have a hard time gaining ground.
Looks like the TC/torque control system works a lot better in the rain/damp, but then again the cars have a lot more traction to begin with in the dry.
Glock: Amazing, and of course also lucky. But nice to see a new face on the podium
Alonso: Good job! I liked the Kimi/Fernando battle, altho Kimi seemed to back off as if pitstop strategies would help him, making an attempt at passing Alonso would be a waste of time...
All in all a nice race, and one that secured the tension and drama for the next races to come.
