Formula 1: Hungarian Grand Prix

It's sure is nice to not have to wait 2 full weeks for the next race.

Thanks Optional.

McLaren has won this race 4 of the last 5 years. With Mark Webber breaking the streak in 2010.

Button won last year, to back up his 2006 win in the not the so wonderful Honda at the time. So probably likes this track. Hamilton won it in 07 and 09, with his McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen taking his only F1 victory here in 08.

[Dad]

My bets to win the race, hoping for 3 races in a row with a profit:

Rosberg +2200 1 unit
Webber +900 1.8 units
Alonso +300 5.4 units

Going huge on Alonso and hoping Vettle does not screw me.

FIA issued a ruling against Red Bulls engine map system today.

Think you are the right side fading Vettel as a fave.




Personally it's between McLaren and Lotus for me this weekend. And the hotter the weather the better I'm hoping.

[MatI]

I honestly think it will be out of Red Bull & McLaren drivers this weekend, but Dad is on a roll, so Rosberg or Alonso for the win!

Just a heads up guys, forecast for the weekend, Friday & Saturday will be hot & sunny, but Sunday is threatening to thunderstorms all day! At this stage, race is likely to be rain effected.

Pole position I like Red Bull or McLaren, previous history says McLaren, but current form edges slightly to Red Bull IMO.

Excellent preview by James Allen here:

He likes Ferrari chances.

James Allen said rain for Friday by looks.

He also makes some worrying points about the change of tyre compunds from last year and how it disadvantages McLaren and Lotus.

This is why I love F1. They are always trying to find ways around the rules without breaking them.

James Allen is def wrong with regards to the weather. Weather patterns are changing a lot in the area. Very likely to rain later today, and then heat to build up again and come down on Sunday morning, it just depends if it stays raining up until race time, that is really the only question.

I follow two guys for weather reports and both excellent. I will dig up the latest report for ya.

I haven't read the JA preview yet, just got home, will check out his thoughts on McLaren/Lotus. My initial hunch is Red Bull will be car to beat in the dry, but still sussing out.

latest weather update -

This is written by Emelyn Hughes, who writes for autosport magazine and website.

The other I follow is on twitter -
Lots of non-f1 related tweets, but he is the BBC News weatherman with a passion for f1. He also gives weather updates for MotoGP. He does it in his own time, but is very reliable and knows his stuff. He live tweets too, when weather is variable, and predicted last weekends rain in qualy to the minute.

Thanks Matt.

Great news. Need a dry Friday.

Anyone else thinking of having a lash on Fastest in P1?

[MatI]

I'm tempted... thinking Lewis... or SV. both with a chip on their shoulder after last weekend.

[Optional]

Agree. I got distracted and missed most it, and didnt bet. But was going to go Lewis. 15 mins to go

[MatI]

Sorry just saw this now. I got Lewis at 4.50 but just had $20 on it. Still, will take it. I like him again for P2...

You and everyone else now. $2.88

At those odds think I prefer Alonso or Webber at around $10.00

[MatI]

I haven't taken anything yet. I can still get Lewis @ 3.00 but too short I think. Both Maccas were really comfy in the first session, I really like them to do it again in P2. Might take Button @ 6.00.

I don't like the Red Bulls to go for a fast time anymore. Looked like they were just sorting out the car after the new changes.

[5mike5]

is race around same time this week for me?

8am my time?

Yeah I want to see the Red Bulls show some speed post rule changes before I spend a cent on them.

Button bet for P2 sounds smart.

8am my time?

Yep. 8.00am ET start for most races, and all the European ones.

[MatI]

Taken Button small Opti. Agreed, I want to see them show their speed before I back them, im sure they will get it back but im thinking it might take a race or three.

8am my time?

Hopefully it isn't delayed on FOX again!

[5mike5]

yeah watching a race on stream blows

#F1#HUNGARORING: We've reached trigger temp for shower development now, with some isolated cells starting to show in the vicinity on radar.

[Optional]

[MatI]

And old man schuey shunts it.

Half unit on Button $9.44 for fastest in P3


Jenson Button (Qualifying)* -165 vs Mark Webber (Qualifying)
Lewis Hamilton (Qualifying)* -150 vs Sebastian Vettel (Qualifying)

Parlayed for +168 1.5u

[MatI]

I like it opti, BOL. I took the following just before P3. I was going to take Lewis to do it again in P3 but backed out in case he decides to sandbag.

Pole Position - Lewis Hamilton @ 3.00 - 0.5u
Qual H2H - Rosberg @ 2.00 over Schumacher - 1u
Race Podium Finish - Lewis Hamilton @ 1.714 - risking 1u

[Optional]

Not sure I like it so much after P3. :\

[MatI]

Agreed, JB is the worry IMO. I think Lewis was solid, but RB are def right up there.

I was duped by the 'normal' RBR slow P1 effort.

With you on Hamilton for pole @ $2.94
