Hungary Grand Prix 2011, Hungaroring Circuit - Race 11/19

I still think Mosley's idea of each driver driving a different car each race was a good one. There'd certainly be no argument who deserved what then - we'd have the best driver and the best car winning. I know logistically it could never work, but I really liked the principle.

Quite the opposite, I don't like him. Not as badly as I used to, but I'll still always be a Ferrari fan, and I'm a big admirer of Vettel.

Those would be great, it'd be the only real way to know for sure where everyone is at.
Although you would need for everyone to drive different circuits in different conditions to have a real clear picture, where does it end!

That I would love to see. Unfortunately, none of them would be used to the car and the car would generally have been designed around a single driver.

+1 great idea

Mosely proposed that? Daft idea if you ask me. Toad isn't much better either with his green agenda and all.
I'm not so sure it's that much of a bad thing that Hamilton and Alonso keep "taking points off each other". Given that they need to finish ahead of Vettel now anyway, it's better that they both do it, than just one of them. If Vettel is going to finish the race, the further down the field he ends up, the better for the championship. The only real issue is that neither Hamilton or Alonso have been consistently winning, but it's still better that it's one of them and not Vettel.
Ideally you'd want:
Hamilton/Alonso
Alonso/Hamilton
Webber
Button/Massa
Mass/Button
Vettel
For a couple of races. That would tighten things up a bit.

Imagine if you had last year's championship with this year's races. How good would that be?
I think it was Bernie.

I would like a reverse field just for one race a year then you would see who is a racer 
Can't believe this is Buttons 200th race! I still remember his debut all those years ago... (Then again half the grid seem's to have been there for the last 10 years)
Hungary should be fun like every year, no one expects anything good, something of interest seems to happen most times we've been here for the last few years anyway...

Button, Alonso, Schumacher, Trulli, Heidfeld isn't half the grid. De La Rosa as well I guess, but he only stood in for one race.

How can you forget Rubens? Webber has been there for a while too, 2001?
Yeah, poor old Barrichello is pretty anonymous these days
Webber started in 2002, so not quite 10 years for him yet.
Edit: some classic 1993 footage of Rubens in action -

Webber's 10 years next season too?!?! I was loving him score that point for Minardi on his first gp...
Either way pray for rain this weekend to make things more interesting!
He was rather average compared to Alonso's stint in 2001. Among other things, Fernando outqualified JV at Indy and finished ahead of a Prost, a BAR, both Arrows cars and his teammate at Suzuka.
All this in probably the worst Minardi ever produced (bar the 2005 model), with a 3 year old Cosworth engine in the back.
