Lewis is the hungariest driver in F1 so I think he's got a good chance.

That's really rather good ...

Time for Bottas to stop being the bridesmaid and bag a victory

I think he really has stopped being the bridesmaid from the start of this season. Poor Massa is looking average at best these days.

[benjj]

I'm going out on a limb to predict the top 5:

1) ROS
2) BOT
3) HAM
4) ALO
5) MAG

[Mikey G]

I predict a safety car for a minor bump and nothing for a car stopped in the middle of the circuit...

[allenmartin]

Hamilton will be the winner.
1.HAM
2.RIC
3.ALO

ROS- DNF

Lewis has won at Hungary for 2007,2009,2012 and 2013 so I wouldn't want to bet against him on this track.

In terms of the merc's i'd quite like to see Nico and Lewis have a decent race but for Lewis to come out on top. Nico seems like a nice guy but he seems a little too corporate for my liking..

For someone with half-German, Half-Finn DNA Nico's a rockstar.

his dad was a bit of a personality though, more reminiscent of Mika Hakkinen than typical Finn.

[Galileo]

Ok, I recon Bottas for the win, inches in front of..
Rosberg second, miles in front of..
Riciardo third with,
Hamilton fourth, having to fight off the attentions of Vettel and Alonso for the last ten laps which will go down in history as the best race of all time with three ex champs giving no quarter and racing wheel to wheel.

I'd love to see Williams win a race and I recon Bottas is the one to do it.

[Likes Fast Cars]

I'm all with you on first place prediction.

As much as I'd like Hamilton to win the championship, I'd really like to see Williams win a race this year, it's feels like it's been far too long since their last win

[vonuber]

I think the mercs will lap 6th place, with the next car being an easily managed 20-40s behind.
Oh and Hamilton will probably win this one.

As much as i'd like to see Lewis close the points gap to Nico, i'm with you on this.

Whatever the result, I do hope a Williams is on the podium again.

Toto may not be around this weekend, he's managed to crash a pushbike and fractured a few bones http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/12472/9391799/to...

Merc posted an xray of his wrist to their twitter account


ouch.

Meantime, Joe Saward reckons that Alonso's contract can be declared void because of a performance clause that says he can walk if the team aren't 3rd in the WCC by the halfway point in the season, Which is now!

"Fernando can pretty much name his price at the moment and, as I hear it, last weekend in Germany was pretty significant as Fernando’s contract has a clause in it that says that he is free to leave his team if it is not in the top three in the Constructors’ Championship. In Hockenheim Williams overtook Ferrari for third place… What we do not know is the date at which this proviso kicks in, but normally these things must be decided by September 1 and announced at the Italian GP."

Sort of.

[lbc]

1. Hamilton
2. Bottas
3. Rosberg or a DNF

"Sort of" indeed but not sorted... Maybe he can name it, who would want to pay it?

There's far better value about on the F1 grid currently.

The positioning of the team is partly his doing is it not?

Some say Big Ron of McLaren is interested. No bluddy way! Once bitten ... Barge Pole, touch and wouldn't come to mind.

I'll eat my corn flakes if subsequent events prove me wrong and Big Ron a mug!

A barge pole (a bl**dy long one at that!) and hell freezing over when there is a blue moon, and maybe Big Ron would perhaps even consider it just for a fleeting moment...

That they're not 5th is partly his doing. That they're not higher? That's like saying it's Grosjeans fault Lotus are so slow this year.

[toppstuff]

My prediction is that Massa will crash into something.

Again.
