Anyhow, I didn't watch to the end of the race.
I haven't got that far for years, just reduced to watching to the first corner for the excitement there, but have even given up on that this year. I believe there was a small contretemps this time? :roll:

I probably should've started a new thread for the Hungarian GP but never mind.

Well what an interesting and bizarre race that was. I've never seen only one car on the starting grid before. :shock: I bet he's glad he didn't stall the car. :lol:

I'm glad Ocon won, he needed the boost in confidence and he's such a sweet youngster. I'm gutted for Vettal for possibly losing his second place because there wasn't enough fuel left in the car.

It was a real pleasure seeing Alonso keeping Hamilton behind him for all those laps, t'was just like watching a real car race for once. :lol:

I used to do a lot of karting and the Hungarian GP reminded me of that because sometimes after qualifying a coin was tossed to see if the race started with a conventional grid or a reverse grid. Having the reverse grid starts always made things interesting with the faster drivers having to make their way through the rest. The last time I raced like that was in an indoor track near Roermond in Holland. At the time a young lad called Max was a well known regular there and we often visited his father, Joss’, kart shop nearby.

Precious memories for you then. I should imagine it makes watching the racing more interesting having had that contact with them. 8-)
