10 laps to go... this is the most exciting race ever this season!!

[diesoline]

jenson wins! whatta race!!

[Helios]

Button & Honda! Amazing win. And who would've thought of De la Rosa even reaching the podium? Should've put my bet in those two, heard it'll be around a grand if you did. What in the world happened to Schumi, bowing out only after being pushed aside by Heidfeld to fourth place? And Kimi- dude what's the deal this time?

D' Best race this season, di ako naantok. Too bad kay Kimi, MS and Alonso. Though di ko gusto yung nanalo...

[vhenok]

The race was nothing but...Matira ang matibay, maiwan ang malas! Exciting drama unfolds in yesterday's race coupled with wet weather most of the time.

Kimi had a good lead midway of the race until misfortune struck him by colliding with Liuzzi.

Then Alonso took the lead until he went for his 2nd pitstop. Upon exit, he had trouble getting control of his car and subsequently retired with a driveshaft failure.

Then, it was Schumi's turn for the misfortunes. About 3 laps more before the end of the race, he had suspension problem forcing to pit immediately, but apparently, did not went out anymore and opted to retire.

Great race by the winners (Button - his first ever, Dela Rosa and Heidfeld) and too bad for the title contenders.

Kubica, who finished seventh, was disqualified when his car was found to be 2-kg below the minimum weight requirement. That means, Massa went to seventh and Schumi to eight and adding a point to his title. The gap between him and Alonso is now only by 10 pts while for the constructor's title, it's down by 7 between Ferrari & Renault.

Whatttarace......whattarace!

The TOP TEN Craziest Moments of the 2006 Hungarian GP

10. Mercedes on slick tyres (Dela Rosa) decides to go for a head-to-head shootout with a Ferrari on intermediate tyres (Schumacher). Who won? The Ferrari of course! But Schumi had to give way sooner or later in the chicane.

9. Fisichella crashing his Renault into the wall all by himself. What a loser.

8. Nico Rosberg still inside his car while it was being craned out of the race track.

7. Scott Speed shouting in the radio: "We need DRY TYRES! We need DRY TYRES!". And when the team changed him to dry tyres, he spun out of the pit lane and kept spinning around like Mel Gibson under the influence.

6. Who would have thought it will rain in Hungary on race day? Just like what they said in the movie: "The gods must be crazy!" Hehe.

5. Yamamoto chickened out scared driving in wet weather, so he just crashed himself at Turn 1. Banzai !!!!!! Hehe.

4. Raikkonen crashing his McLaren over a Torro Rosso without even attempting to swerve out of the way. Parang patapon na yung buhay niya sa McLaren.

3. Alonso crashing his car because of a loose wheel nut?!? Crazy!

2. Schumacher deciding to fight it out in the final laps instead of simply collecting whimper points by pitting and changing his tyres. Never say die. Whoever says pit stop strategy is boring, should give Michael credit here. There was no more thread on his tyres!

AND THE CRAZIEST MOMENT in the 2006 F1 Hungarian GP?

1. The 3 winners of the ESPN/Star Sports contest who correctly predicted that Jenson Button will win the race from 14th on the grid. They are crazy!!!

My gulay... this is the best race this season!

Kimi charging in the wet like there's no tomorrow... but apparently there is - with him crashing into an early braking Toro Rosso (to let Kimi pass). Hats off to dela Rosa for keeping his cool and avoiding both the disentegrated McLaren & Toro Rosso - and for also defending his position against Alonso.

Schumi struggling with his tires during the first half but found his pace & grip after the track dried partially. Great battles with Alonso, dela Rosa & Heidfeld - against the latter two, he was like a possessed man - battling it out on intermediate tires against slicks! Hehehe. Though all Tifosi out there are muttering, "He could have just settled for 4th f*cking place" - but then again that's what Schumi is all about!

What a freaking break for Yamamoto! He couldn't even get past lap 1 in both of his races. Baka may balat ito sa pwet!

Great finish for Kubica though he also spun a couple of times. Hehe.

The safety car also was having a heck of time sliding around the track when it was deployed.

[Autobeat]

Exciting race! Normally, I get a bit bored and change channels a bit, but this one had me glued to watching the race. Aliw pala kapag nabasa yung track.

[mazdamazda]

teka, how'd schumi get penalized this time?

overtaking at practice... same with Alonso.

Another crazy stuff at the 2006 F1 Hungarian GP: Juan Pablo Montoya interjecting in-between racing scenes saying "If you drink, don't drive" commercial. It was a spooky feeling knowing he's already gone. Gives me the goose-bumps.
