The 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix

[Ed]

Hungary - like Monaco - always brings up a surprise or two!

But I am very surprised by the pace or Raikkonen who won here last year!

just once, I might pick pole
Webbo is either running a 1 stopper, or saying...."I should care?"
The way Sir F works Webbo can expect the crappiest car he has had since he joined Williams,.....and that includes the one that burned his bum and scarred him for life
Wurz will be made to look good

True! Fisico is particularly good there. But then again so is Alonso.

Could this be a place for a Jenson Button breakthrough?

What about Mark Webber and Nick Heidfeld?

Stay tuned, Bat fans!!!

So Alonso has been penalised for alleged bad driving and overtaking under yellow flag

There must be a FIA/Ferrari conspiracy theory in there somewhere

Makes things a bit more interesting though doesn't it

Perhaps Doornbos was paid by Ferrari

Red Bull currently use Ferrari engines. Their cunning plan to upset Alonso by placing Doornbos in the way has worked

At the risk of incurring the wroth of every Renault/ALONSO fan though, it appears as though Alonso is not thinking as well now that Schumi and Ferrari have started to apply the heat.

Last week at Hockenheim he was on the radio instantly when he and Schumi nearly had a coming together in the pits.

Are these the signs of cracks appearing

Just normal behaviour for someone with the WDC slipping from his grasp, I suppose

Perhaps we may now see Fernando "parking" his car across the final corner in Qual to stop a certain German getting Pole

With that 2 sec penalty, he won't make qual......

Just to clarify, Alonso was penalised with 2 seconds off his times in Q1, Q2 and Q3. The incident with Doornbos is what really triggered this and Alonso did over-react. He was on a flyer when Doornbos was ahead and didn't move out of the way quickly, he waved his hand, weaved accross and when he got ahead slowed down in front of Doornbos. All of which are moves that are unnecessary and the weaving bit was done before at a previous event.
The stewards also found out that Alonso overtook a car under the yellow flags.

With a 2 second penalty, Alonso may just make it into Q2 but getting into Q3 will be almost impossible. He can play with strategy and could still get some points.

It appears that Renault and Ferrari are close here, but now it looks like Alonso will be giving more points to Michael especially that Hungary is a very hard track to overtake on.

So the best Alonso can hope for is 9th on the grid

Damn Doornobs
