Todays Formula 1 Grand Prix in Hungary had a lot more action than many of the previous races, especially with Alonso and his battle for a spot on the podium. While Hamilton had no problem keeping Raikkonen behind him for the whole race, Alonso did have problems against guys like Heidfeld, Schumacher and Kubica. Massa was definite a disappointment in todays Grand Prix, finishing outside the point positions; no idea what his problem was, but I am sure it was mechanical.
The start: Fernando and Lewis had qualified first and second; however, Fernando was relegated by five positions because he allegedly had blocked his team mate in the pit lane less than two minutes before the end of qualifying. Lewis therefore started from his fourth Formula 1 career pole position, had the best start and maintained the lead on the opening lap. Fernando, sixth on the grid, lost one place at the start and another one at the last corner of the first lap and dropped to eighth.
The race: On lap three, Fernando overtook Mark Webber (Red Bull Renault), and at the beginning of lap four, he passed Robert Kubica (BMW Sauber) and improved to sixth.
