    I mean brake failure, MGU-h failure, valve failure, bad pit stops, etc. Lewis-specific drama is what I want to jettison.

    Just a clean, fair battle between drivers is what I want

    Hasn't that always been the case though?......

    Different kinds of drama, but drama nevertheless.

    Regardless, that was one hell of a fine race IMO. Apart from the ****ty sound, maybe they haven't got it that far wrong? ;)

    Well seems like the slow guy keeps on winning races :) Do you guys think something got into Lewis eyes in the last few laps?

    OK.

    But, is there really?

    They're all tight, they're all told to "lift & coast" on occasion, but I don't think I've seen anyone actually run out of gas or even get passed as a result of saving the go juice (?)

    Just another part of the strategy game maybe?

    Massa retirement helped Lewis-I think Lewis finishes fourth if massa didn't have that incident IMHO.

    Fair racing is sufficiently entertaining.
    We don't need no stinkin enhancements.

    I think Vettel is the other guy who's had a similarly snake-bitten year thus far. Still a lot of time left to get it right, and it does keep the WDC very interesting. Even with the adversity, Ham is only 14 pts adrift in the championship.

    qualy has been close lately with nico/lewis but when it comes to the races, race pace simulation aside, lewis seems to pull something out of somewhere when it comes down to the wire

    fair assessment realy

    I think Hamilton finishes second without the Button incident.

    Actually, I think he still finishes second if they didn't pit early expecting the safety car after Sutil's spin.

    The records will show he finished 3rd, so let's move on to Hungary!

    Jettison...nice word me likey, there were some great battles today up and down the field Alonso involved in a good few.

    One in particular Kimi Alonso Vettel all 3 abreast heading into a corner all played fair, Ricci as well super stuff, good fair not a inch to spare racing nice to see instead of crashing your way through, respect to all the top drivers.

    Lewis makes amazing runs from the back of the pack on a regular basis.

    But why is he back there so often?

    Yes ok JB you know it was only a matter of time, why play silly buggers, are you that miffed Ham jumped ship to a better team and left you to sink on the Mac ship ..
