Lewis Hamilton made the best getaway as the lights went out, and led the Hungarian Grand Prix from there on. Team mate Nico Rosberg was close at times, but never really managed to set up a passing move. Daniel Ricciardo finished third for Red Bull Racing.

I think at any point it comes to a head to head on track scrap, Roesberg would crash rather than lose out to him.
exactly, the decision today is political.... they dont want Lewis to run away with the race and championship tomorrowShrieker wrote:And that makes it a political decision, rather than a regulatory one, doesn't it.FoxHound wrote:In any event, a penalty would make the race largely redundant unless the Red Bull's can keep up with Ham.Shrieker wrote:Hamilton is much faster on this track.

I do agree if the FIA or stewards were atleast considering it, we would have news by now it is under investigation.
Not much in it, but I think a penalty would be harsh. And it would spoil any semblance of a race or Ham/Ros crash.
Or a common sense decision, taking all factors into account.Shrieker wrote:And that makes it a political decision, rather than a regulatory one, doesn't it.FoxHound wrote:In any event, a penalty would make the race largely redundant unless the Red Bull's can keep up with Ham.Shrieker wrote:Hamilton is much faster on this track.

If anything they are just cowards, because they are afraid to apply the rules in fear of lessening the "spectacle" of the race.
Did you watch quali?iotar__ wrote:
- Brilliant through traffic risky pole, Rosberg was quicker anyway
- Horner should focus on how to spin that his new Senna/Vettel/Alonso is again slower and 1:6 in qualifying against Ricciardo. It's easier to decide race wins than to make someone quicker. Much harder to hype if it was Ricciardo with 2 wins.
The second one being for the incident Rosberg had already passed? And it was a right hander which is pretty low speed, if this is the "second one" you a referring to?dans79 wrote:Not for the second one he didn't!FoxHound wrote:He did not ignore it.Jester Maroc wrote:"Right, so lets not penalize drivers ignoring yellow flags as it would make us appear harsh."

It's only fair that he's asking this.
