Tivo is your friend guys... watch stuff when YOU want to watch it It's NOT expensive to add to your cable or satellite plan.

WFO - I'm a die hard Honda fan also, and not just in F1. I only started to watch F1 because Honda races in it and I watch most every other series they race in as well (ALMS, IRL, and SCCA Touring).

It has to do with the fact I've owned a Honda since 1992 and will for the forseeable future. I can't "love my Honda" all week long, then root for someone like Ferrari to beat them on Sunday That's just fickle.

I do enjoy seeing Heikki win but that's because he seems like a nice kid and not an a-hole like most of the drivers they interview on TV. When he starts acting like he's doing a favor granting interviews I'll probably stop liking him as well.

Who ever Honda has for drivers next year I will have to put up with whether I like them or not (Alonso="not") because they will be driving for my favorite car company.

Amazing start from Massa, really strong race from him thru out the whole race.
The end was was sad. Does anyone know if it's the second race for that engine?


I'm extremely happy for HK...Love to see new faces on that top podium.

As for Honda.... nutin to report, but hearing news about Alonso possibly
coming to Honda?...
Why not Honda? They have the money, Alsono can really help the
team setup the car correctly. Even if it's a 1 or 2 year deal. The
knowledge Honda will gain is priceless.

Thanks..Wish Honda will continue with it. I know it's not BAR anymore...but
something like it. Honda don't make it easy for the fans to help them advertise.

What a great race!!! Hungary is one of my favorite races. The weather is unpredicatable and results are usually more so. The track is so technical that you can see weaknesses in a car's chassis or driver skill!

I think we all though that Massa was winning for sure.

Congrats to HK and specially to TG for an incredible pace.

What light the fire under KR? Like Hobbs said - I think he was eager to get on his flight.

Honda - hopefully things get better next year.

Recorded the race and just watched last night. A bit surprising to see Massa's pace, although he did have good speed in the second round of qualifying. And what is the deal w/BMW? Last part of the season should be interesting.

good for Heiki finally..

too bad for Massa..

Glad to see Kimi salvage third and Hamilton in 5th

disappointed in BMW, they appear to have lost all of their momentum

what and how did Timo Glock get up there ? could be sign of Toyota getting stronger. Watch out Honda.

bad weekend for Fuel Rigs.. sheesh..

Is it just me or is Bob Varsha getting on anyone else's nerves? I can't recall specifics other than wanting him replaced several times...
its impossible to over rev these engines. theres so much technology controlling these engines. And i always here the comment of he was pushing too hard and blew the engine. The driver can't do anything to blow an engine even if he wanted to. These engines are 2.4L v8 that make 800 hp. and go to 19,000 rpm. Shit can brake. too bad for him it happened w/ 3 laps to go. But good for Lewis!
