Yes, Hamilton behave pretty well given the circumstances, although he also just signed 150 million 3 year contract with Mercedes.
Vettel looks a lot more relax now that he is with Ferrari, than when he was with Red Bull.

I finally got to watch it.
That was a good one.

Vettel and Masa drove amazing races, and Hamilton continues to dominate everyone including Nicco.   I love how Vettel was like, I DID NOT TOUCH HIM.  And he didn't but it sure looked like it.

Yes it was a great race.  Vettel and Massa drove great races.  Iceman almost got T-boned powering out of his spin.  Ham just cruised, but used a lot of gas for him.

Let's see what happens in Austria. Also Maclaren Honda does not look good.
As you all have said both Vettel and Masda drove a great race.

Mclaren Honda looked like they were heading in the right direction but then fell apart this weekend

Did anyone else go through all of the radio talk.
There was some really funny stuff saud by the drivers this weekend

No, just the ones during the race. You already mentioned the one from Vettel, I thought it was pretty funny the way he shout it out over the radio.

I am glad to see vettel no longer dominating, made for rather boring racing. This was such a great showing of his skill as a driver.

Vettel has been replaced by Hamilton.
Different person same situation.  Just a matter of whether or not Mercedes can have a 4 year run like RedBull did.

Here are all the quotes.   Definitely worth the read

I really want to hear the full uncensored dialog from Kimi at qualifying.

Honestly I thought it would be a tighter race, but it was not. The Ferrari boys at the pits need to get it together, Vettel cannot do everything to win.
I think Kimi better get his act together or he is gone next season from Ferrari.
Massa and Botas  did good this time, lets see what happens with the so call new improvements on the next race.
The 17 year old did good, so did Haulkenberg.
McLaren/Honda seem to go backwards, although that accident with Kimi was not Alonsos fault, just happen to be in the wrong place.

There was some good racing mid pack.  I think the pressure is getting to Kimi. Williams did very well.  Nico just walked away from Ham.  The last lap of qualifying was hilarious

Now that was an exciting race!!!!!!!

NO MB on the podium
Vettel wins for the first time in Hungary and ties Senna for Race Wins
17 year old on the Podium
Both McLaren's have a solid race and get points
Lots of errors, lots of contact

Excellent Comment from Vettel
It's not about me, it's for you Jules

Ciao Jules

A very exciting race, lots of action and until the end you didn't know who was going to be where in the points and the race.  It was the 21 year old on the podium, the 17 year old was 4th.
