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.

Yeah, but I meant post 2006. I wasn't taking into account the years before.zeph wrote:flickerf1 wrote:I have a gut feeling that Jenson might possibly win this. 2006: 1st, 2011: 1st and 2016: ?? Every five years he's won. With there being a threat of rain, I could see a miracle happening.
Except in 2001 he spun off...

? It makes it automatic but doesn't change much, determining if someone was off wasn't a problem most of the time. How about crash sensors for those small crashes and penalties missed or even better head in the sand sensors?

Senna believed Benetton was cheating/having traction control, since he couldn't understand how could he be so quick.
Schuie was bloody good, it must be said, but his results record needs to be seen in light of the politics of the day. Bespoke tyres, unlimited testing, Number 1 status etc. He still had to turn that in to results, of course, but the lack of a challenger on the other side of the garage made that a lot easier.
Would Schuie have done so well with Senna, Prost, Alonso, Vettel or Hamilton in the other car? Nope.
Ferrari was only faster(at least Schumi) during the last part of the championship. Renault was clearly the best car in the first half, then a more balanced competition and finally a stronger Ferrari(not with rain, where they s*cked).Pierce89 wrote: In 2006, Shumi had the fastest car but the Samurai took the WDC.
Michael had an engine failure in Japan and Fernando won. In Brazil, Michael had a puncture and finished fourth.

Well, how much is "most of the time"? No human is going to be as infallible as an electronic sensor. A single human error would result in claims of inconsistencies and unfairness by the stewards. That was simply my point, and limited only to track limits.iotar__ wrote:Are they worried that without sensors they might miss another Alonso Abu Dhabi incidentChrisDanger wrote:Track limits will be enforced electronically this weekend, at least at turns 4 and 11.

Plus, Renault started the season as the fastest car and they won 7 of 9 races and had 6 poles. By the time Ferrari got the advantage, the damage was already done, Alonso being 25 points in front of Schumi.flickerf1 wrote:Michael had an engine failure in Japan and Fernando won.
