Awesome race by Red Bull. Red Bull was very lucky with the weather, as that certainly helped their performance. Great job by Webber, he deserved it.
Extremely frustrating qualifying from Toyota, especially given the fact that both Toyotas were fast during the race. Toyota really needs to get their act together. They have a Top-6 car and are not using it's potential.
Decent job by Renault, but let's see if this translates into strong performances at other tracks. Great job by Williams, they really seem to be improving and they deserve it. Decent job by Ferrari as well. Dissapointing for FI and BMW but not surprised. Also not surprised at Hamilton's incident; his super-aggressive driving once again got him into a troublesome situation.

And for the rest of the season, its gonna be a bloody brilliant end to ths season, just as good as the start of this season.
Red Bull will bring STR into play now, the more cars in the top 10 the better, as i can see it being a Red Bull/Button 3 way at the end of the season.
Brawn will have to try and get something that can make their car better now.
But Webbo, after arround 250 Grand Prix he gets a win.
Shame Suitil gets booted by Kimi again, hope Kimi gets a 10 penalty at Valencia. Force India are the most improved team this season.
Depends how you look at it. They still scored zero points so far. I'm not quite sure I follow this logic. I would argue that McLaren is the most improved team, or possibly Ferrari.

He was consistent didn't show any nerves and the emotion at the end on the team radio was awesome Vettel 2nd place is good considering that horrible start 3 way race anyone?
& ESPImperium i agree with him where he says

this is true if Red Bull want to get maximum points in both championships shifting updates to Toro Rosso faster will help them as both their teams could lock out the first 2 rows. I mean today Brawns race was comrpomised by other cars like Ferrari's if Red Bull bring Toro Rosso into play Brawn will get nervous and get low points finishes as Toro Rosso progress the momentum is with the Bull's
Likely that is not going to happen. If Red Bull focuses on giving more updates to STR, then they shift focus away from their cars and risk falling back in the Championship race. Red Bull cannot afford to focus too much on helping STR if they want to win either championship.
StrFerrari4Ever wrote:Exactly my thoughts it's been frustrating seeing STR struggling at the back when last year they were in the top 6 so from Hungary onwards i'm expecting a resurgence from Toro Rosso they do need car setup support so they are guaranteed of being up front with their sister team RBR. And your right saying Brawn will get nervous as the other teams catch up and Rubinho seeming dillusioned Button will have to do it by himself and without Rubens brilliant setups he'll struggle. So Red Bull need to sit down and discuss this and look at all these possible gains from helping Toro Rosso more!!
STR did not deserve to be in the Top 6 last year, not quite sure how they were. I think it was mainly thanks to Vettel. This is just karma coming back to bite them. Also keep in mind STR must develop their own car for next year; they can no longer rely on being spoon-fed by Red Bull.

But if he comes out with outbursts like today, his days are numbered. As EJ said, he would have sacked him for that outburst for bringing the team into dis-repute. And Frank Williams said that it was a definate red card moment.
Another story of this weekend was the Stewards; penalising Glock for Blocking Alonso in Q1, Fining Red Bull after a "unsafe realease in the pits" of Vettel, their bad showing in the GP2 support races and Porsche Supercup and Formula BMW, not to mention their poor decision with Webbers drive thru penalty. Altho nothing came of it as of yet, i feel that Kimi has a 10 place grid drop coming at Hungary for him "destroying" Sutils race again.
Im just waiting to get ahold of the technial report for the race for the engine data.
Due to Ferrari bias and influence, Kimi probably won't get a penalty.

It was amazing how in the late stages Alonso was closing by almost 2 sec per lap on the Brawns, and yet one he was close behind Rubens, he could not do anything!!! He could not even get close enough to try to overtake him! I really hope they will ban those DDDs next year. Otherwise, it was exiting race. I hope there will be more like that to come. Hungary may be a boring track but it often offers lots of action.
Why don't we ban everything innovative then? By that logic, I hope they ban KERS too as KERS makes it even more difficult to overtake than a DDD. But KERS is gone for 2010 already, only have to put up with it for the rest of the season.
