In spite of the difficulties faced by both Ferrari and McLaren this racing season, the Hungarian GP saw Lewis Hamilton AND Kimi Raikkonen on the podium in first and second respectively. Mark Webber, the Aussie arse, was third.
Am extremely happy to see Kimi performing for Ferrari. Considering the difficult weekend, what with losing a second car on the grid due to Felipe's unfortunate accident, this was the just result that the team needed to lift their spirits. Kimi drove a competitive race, making up 3 spots at the start into fourth and eventually gaining a position during a pitlane scuffle with the arse known as Mark Webber (It'll take me a couple more races to forgive him for his scathing attack on Kimi during Silverstone's press conference. Perhaps). He maintained steady pace to remain in second till the end of the race. He performed admirably in a car that's just not quite there yet. But we're close.
Lewis Hamilton drove a fantastic race. Starting fourth on the grid, he moved up to third at the start before outmaneuvering "The Arse" out of second (I guess it was just a day where Mark Webber was outclassed. At the very least he was schooled by two world champions. Perhaps he managed to pick up some tips on how to drive like a champion from them). He was untouchable after he pitted the first time around till the end of the race. Good job Lewis! Good job McLaren! I'll always have a soft spot for the Woking team since this is where Mika and subsequently Kimi came into prominence.
Mark started third, finished third, nuff said. I sympathize with Alonso tough as a shoddy pitstop compromised his entire race and ended it early for him. And after all that hard work put in to get the pole.
So like the title suggests, the natural order of the F1 universe was restored at the Hungaroring circuit. The two big boys of the premier series came out tops. The question remains though, will this be a one-off or is it game-on for the rest of the season? My hope is for the latter. But we'll only know for sure in 3 weeks time at the European GP in Valencia. Till then, it's summer holiday for the F1 fraternity. Here's hoping Kimi and Ferrari come back recharged and ready to fight harder! And hopefully Felipe is okay.
