I don't see how this was a boring race.MrBlacky wrote:Boring race in my eyes. RB fu**ed up Webbers strategy and McL Buttons as well. Superb drive from Hamilton and Lotus though.
The Hungaroring is a great circuit and is a throwback to the narrower circuits of the past where if you were going to overtake another driver, you had to be willing to take risks.
It was a partial reminder of F1 as it was for many years.
The only thing lacking was the fact that no one is willing to push hard because it means the tires go off a cliff in a short amount of time. DRS was rendered useless because the main straight is not very long, and it goes right into a heavy braking zone. No sense in locking up the front right tire because trying to do something stupid results in the wrong line being taken into the corner. Not to mention all of the marbles all over the track in that area was a bit like the straight at Shanghai where going off the race line will destroy your tires.
We had a real brief glimpse near the end of what can be when the drivers truly push their cars hard.
Vettel started closing the gap with Grosjean because it was at a point in the race where he didn't need to worry about another pit. He was doing 2 seconds better which is something we're not seeing much of anymore because of the nature of the tires.
Just imagine how great it would be to watch these guys going flat-out, on the limit all race long every single race?
