In really wet conditions I think using the safety car for a rolling start is probably the smart thing to do. A start off the grid even in wet tires might knock half the cars out before the first turn.

Using the safety car for multiple laps though is just ******ed. Either hold up the start or run one lap under safety and then go.

i am really missing the times when we listened " Fernando is faster than you" or "Mark, we lost the Kers" (when Vettel was right behind Webber's car)

Wow that seems like a very long time ago... I miss that time when everyone was hating Redbull, and Vettel giving everyone the finger whenever he won LOL! Plus the V8's are better.

Funny latest news. Jos Verstappen let his son Max buy new Porshe.
And news abouts bets. Bettors put Verstappen higher than Ricciardo for Hungary GP. Interesting

Yeah, the writing is on the wall it seems. Verstappen is showing signs that he's getting better and is progressing really fast. Ricciardo better watch out. Tensions will arise between these two as RBR has found their new 'Vettel'. Now all they need is Adrian Newey tweak their car to create more down force at the turns.

You know that Newey could be in Ferrari many years ago?
That time Schumacher didn't want to work with Adrian and stayed with Ross Brawn.

at the of this week we will see Hugarian GP. Hungaroring is one of the best tracks in F1 with a lot of difficult turns.
everytime watching this GP i remember that terrible moment with Felipe Massa.
my predictions for this race to see Red Bull on top!

Restrictions on radio communication between teams and drivers have been strengthened in the build-up to this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.

Any message informing a driver of a car problem "must include an irreversible instruction to return to the pits to rectify the problem or to retire".

first thought: this seems ******ed

Just watched a fantastic race for 5/6th place with a superb shot of some dude waving the chequered flag throw in for good measure.

Also caught the briefest glimpse of Hamilton coming round last corner.

What horrible coverage (only watched last 6/7 laps).

Rosberg was always one of the worst starters.. but he was so bad during all the race.

Because his teammate is Lewis Hamilton and Lewis killing him every race.
(not only the first 5 race of this season, when Hamilton had many problems with his car and tyres, or other mechanical failure)

they should draw on an extra load grid places and he should have to start in grid slot number (55 + whatever) imo
