It was a fine drive by Lewis, very controlled and mature. McLaren gambled on qualifying pace to make sure their car was fastest over a single lap but it was obvious race pace suffered slightly as a result. The Lotus's were clearly faster and Lewis was obviously thankfull Budapest is a difficult track to overtake on. Still, Lewis should be very pleased with his performance and once again showed how strong he is with his tyre management. One of his best IMO.

I question the tyre management thing.

Degradation was abnormally low as Pirelli went conservative with softs and mediums and not supersoft/softs.

Hamilton was doing consistent lap times and I would argue he was in a comfort zone knowing how difficult overtaking would be, not to mention Grosjean's outlaps were poor.

Here's some great analysis on Hungary and Ali's ability to just hang on, rather than "dominate" as some have suggested.

Who is suggesting he dominated? It was clear Kimi was faster and I haven't seen anyone suggest otherwise. Hungary is a very difficult track to overtake on and even Lewis admitted this worked in his favour. He drove well and was able to manage the race from the front and his performance was anything but negative. The only part of the weekend he dominated were practices and qualifying.

For once Mclaren did not ruin Lewis' race with a botched pitstop. One would wonder if it was someone like Webber behind him instead of Grosjean in the first stint. It certainly made Lewis' life easier when Grosjean over drove his Lotus. Similarly, it'd be interesting if it was Webber who was stuck behind Button instead of Vettel. I believed Webber would have got something done on track (no puns intended though). Kimi looked spectacular in the final stint but I believed Lewis had him covered.

Amazing? Not anymore.

He's disappointing Tazio! You can read my rant in the "Twittergate" thread, but Lewis hasn't delivered. He's just too distracted to showcase his speed. I want the old Lewis back in F1!

He was always like that. Very, very fast, extremely talented and extremely arrogant and spoiled. I respect his speed and find his achievements inspiring, especially for people of color, but I can never support him

[casinobonusa]

I think he is amazing.

He is a top driver who is as good as anyone, but can let his emotions and outside circumstances affect his performances and behavour.

However he is only human and many humans have faults. I hope whether he stays at Mclaren or goes to Mercedes he does well and I will support him.

Ross Brawn can make him much stronger psychologically and as a driver IMO...

extremely arrogant and spoiled.

Yet you have such a hard-on over Bieber? Explain that.

I see no point discussing anything about F1 with you.

Garry's got a point.

I am not too happy about your presence either, but I guess we have to accept it and try not to be tearful about it.

I ask again, if you are annoyed by Hamilton's arrogance and the fact that he is spoilt, why are you such a huge fan of Bieber, who is pretty much the posterboy for arrogance and for being spoilt.

Garry's got a point.

See boatie, even other people are agreeing with me.

[Clunlippibe]

Garry, I inluded you in my ignore list. Really I don't see any point of talking with you about F1.

So you have no argument, again.

Good to know.

Back to the topic thank you !

[Dokescoonse]

Well, Hamilton made me eat my words this morning.

Yummy!!

[DenisMoor]

Great laps, reminded me of the excellence of the great Mika Hakkinen. But the race will be tough - it is always tough for McLaren drivers.
