I understood that Bottas replacement with Russel had been sorted before the last race. Didn't know about Kimi.

New rules are to be introduced after the farce at Spa where the cars did 2 laps in the rain behind the safety car before making the decision that the race was over and the results would be based in the positions on the grid before the start of the race. 🙄🙄

A fantastic lap by Russell qualifying second

[Dunedin]

Over at Spa, Bottas was quickest in first practice followed by Verstappen while Hamilton was stuck behind a slower car on his best lap.
In second practice session after setting his quickest lap Verstappen crashed his car into a wall casing the session to be ended prematurely.
Verstappen is on his third and final power unit before recieving penalties.

[Dunedin]

Hamilton has had his lead extended and put into 2nd place after Vettel was disqualified for a fuel infringement.

Great drive by Alonso

And Vettel, if these two had better cars they would still be in the mix.

I see Lewis is fearing he may be suffering from long term Covid?

[Dunedin]

What an exciting race with all the ups and downs involved. You just couldn't have expected a race like that.
On the podium was the winner Ocon followed by Vettel and Hamilton. 😎
Hamilton is back in front in the standings. 😀

[Dunedin]

Hamilton on pole for tomorrow's race followed by teamate Bottas then Max Verstappen on the second row. 😎

[Dunedin]

Second practice has Bottas with the quickest time followed by Hamilton,  Verstappen, Ocon and Perez.

[Angleseyite]

Max still bellyaching about Lewis cutting the bend and wants another investigation. When he came in to F1 he regularly cut up Kimi with similar moves causing the stewards to warn him off. 😎

That's old news Dunders, but
Can't blame him it cost him dear...

The officials have rejected Red Bulls reassessment of the penalty given to Hamilton.

I think that's the correct decision too

[Dunedin]

Verstappen put the quickest time in first practice at the Hungarian GP. He was followed by Bottas., Hamilton, Sainz and Gasly. 😎

And Angleseyite, does it really matter if he was right or wrong? Far more important things to be annoyed about. Have a wine or a beer mate and chill. Cheers.

He is like a dog with a bone. 😅

[byrney]

Lol

[Angleseyite]

Not annoyed at all Byrns, and funnily enough I am having a chilled beer Cheers

Is that like when some sailor said the world was flat. 😄😄

Dunders, why do you find it so difficult to say what you published about Hammy having the fastest lap is incorrect?? as for the sailors, you're welcome to them

[Dunedin]

So that's taking responsibility for posting incorrect info

took it from the commentary statement made by David Couthard at the end of the race. 😎 Report him to C4.

Ah, right so you're blaming Couthard for you putting incorrect info on the forum, because you didn't check it was right

Not really. When the race finished and he said Lewis had reduced the points between himself and Max and gained an extra point from having the fastest lap time, I switched off. Check it out, if you know how. 😆😆

Thought I was correct, cheers Lynn and IMJ
I'm sure Dunders  will be along to admit he got it wrong again or maybe not!!!

Hamilton didn’t get fastest lap point. Perez fastest lap but no point, as outside the top ten, just prevented Hamilton getting the extra point. Red bull threw their toys out of the pram because Vestappen was pushed off. Ooops.

[Angleseyite]

The best race for years. Hamilton wins after a battle against the clock after recieving a penalty on the first lap via a coming together with Vestappen. He has closed the gap on his rival to almost nothing. He also took the point for the fastest lap. 😀

Great race, but I thought Perez  (Red bull) got the fastest lap???

The new rules have started where only 1 practice before the start of qualifying tomorrow and Verstappen the quickest so far followed by Lando Norris, Hamilton, Leclerc in 4th followed.by Bottas. 🤔

Lewis responds quicker than Max on the last session before tomorrow's sprint. So Lewis and Max side by side on the grid for tomorrow. 😀

[Dunedin]

This weekend will be interesting as Lewis is on his home track. 😎
