Who was the last driver to win a milestone Grand Prix I wonder.


Felipe Massa...he had 100th Grand Prix at Belgium 2008 8)


I don't remember Massa actually winning that one. Well on the road anyway...

Schumi won his 200th race, 2004 Spanish GP. Mansell won his 100th race, 1986 or 1987 Austrian GP.

Very nice to see a McLaren resurgence, quite impressed with their form as of late.

in the bbc build-up to the race there was the part of MB testing Pirelli tyres. There was music in the background about 'colours'.
Could someone tell me the title of the song? Thanks a million!

Lewis/Mark/Alonso need to take over 10 points per race out of Vettel's lead. Not going to happen as the only part of the RBR prone to failing is the KERS.

It need a Vettel DNF or two, even though I don't expect the Red Bull to be in contention for a win till Singapore. Vettel can play percentages like Alonso did in 2005, and Jenson did [inbetween some bouts of lacklustre driving] in 2009.

It needs more than that tbh, because they will not only take points away from Vettel, but also from each other. In Spa I see McLaren winning while Singapore should suit the Ferrari more. Suzuka should be Red Bull land again.

An 8, but I was thinking about giving it a 7.
Why?? Well the racing is exceptional this year, no doubt about it. But I'm missing a bit more action in case of crashes or drama. It's not that I'm it watching F1 just because I want to see accidents. But years ago with conditions like this today in Hungary it was sure that some of the smaller teams could gain some points because there were more collisions, failures and so on. Today we only had 4 retirements. Actually that is nothing for a race like that.
The racing is good but also remarkably clean. We only had two races that saw a Safety Car. That is a an amazingly low amount.
The entertainment value this year is high but I would like to have a little bit more drama.


I know what you mean. Several of the leaders wouldn't have actually finished if there was still gravel... Still thought it was a great race though.

One thing that has really struck me this year has been the domination of the top three teams - they've locked out the podium all but twice (Australia and Malaysia) and there's often been a lap to the nearest rival. They're so far ahead of the other teams

Seeing that video, it seems insane that they didn't bring out the Safety Car! Look how the cars fly by :8: :8:

I was amazed too. I mean last year they brought out the Safety Car because a part of a Force India wing was lying on the track and here today we stayed under green while a car was literally exploding.

I think Bernie blocked the SC, because else Vettel would be back at front. :p

If the marshall hadn't been there, there would've been parts in the middle of the track.

What's more retarded is that they'll bring out the red flag if it gets a bit dark, but apparently an exploding car doesn't even warrant an SC.

The recovery of Heidfeld's Renault made me wince. Not while the marshals extinguished the fire but when they towed up the pit lane exit, in the middle of the track while Vettel was exiting.
