Hungary 2009: Round 10 Results

Photobucket

Congratulations to Flutterfly, who takes his first career victory in Hungary after being the only player to correctly predict Hamilton for the win. Not bad for the guy who was last in the championship. The result is Force India's first win in a little over a year and also means that both newcomers to the game this season have reached the top spot. Grats bud.

An unusual result in F1 made for low scores all round and little movement in the standings. The highest climber was IceMan, who jumps from 9th to 5th after making it a British 1-2 in Hungary. Flutterfly moves from the wooden spoon slot to 18th, relegating the BMW Saubers to the bottom two positions. The big news however is Karan retaking the championship lead yet again from Wooze. The two runaway leaders are now tied on 84 points each, with Karan ahead by virtue of his higher win scores. Its going to be an epic battle over the last seven races.

The teams championship sees a similar situation with Brawn and Ferrari also level pegging with 150 points apiece. Brawn hold the top spot with three wins to two. Impressive recent results for both IceMan and Hollywood see Toyota closing in.

Flutterfly's dominant win has had a big impact on the nation's standings, with Great Britain going top once again. Of the ten races so far this year, Britain and Canada have won eight.

Roll on Europe!

PS. Fingers crossed for Felipe Massa. Here's hoping he makes a full recovery soon and his eyesight is not affected (early signs are good). In the meantime, Mr Schumacher as a stand-in, anybody?

Flutterfly for prediction of the year there, putting down Hamilton for P1! Nicely done there mate.

I thought I would end up miserably in the in the bottom with a 5 pt tally, so the end result was bit of a pleasant surprise.

Next 7 rounds will definitely be a dogfight for each and every point though :)

Thoughts are with Felipe, my favorite driver in F1, since Schumi retired, to make a full recovery and get back into the cockpit.

Seeing Schumi back in the cockpit would be bit of a dream come true but very miraculous if it does happen.

Wahooo! Check out my comments on the post from last race. I'm surprised nobody else went for Lewis to win. I know the bookies didn't expect it ;-)
I'm comming back strong now.....Schuey to win in Valencia anyone...

Hehe I had a brief look online today, Schumi's odds are currently about 11-1 to win on his return. Thats a pretty appealing bet!

I'm convinced Michael will win a race before the end of the season.

How many races do you guys even figure Michael will race? Felipe's recovery seems to be coming along faster than anticipated. If he's back by Singapore, I'd say Michael should get a podium. Maybe a win if it rains in Spa...
