Good job by Massa today. Have not seen him being so aggressive for a very long time. He did overtake many cars during the race, and I think he hasn't been overtaken at all. Forza Felipe baby keep up that kind of aggressiveness!

[luicchi]

And yet his lead in the championship went from 80 to the measly 77 points. Bloody hard to catch him at this rate.

I´m not thinking about this year championship...its almost impossible.But yet we can develop the car for next year championship.

Hamilton possibly benefitted from the cold conditions. Good to see only one RB on the podium and in 3rd.

and it wasn't vettel!!

[luicchi]

well it must be said that this Mclaren is completely different from the Mclaren of silversstone. So much difference with or without EBD blow

[Kingdom Hearts]

Fantastic race by both despite the dificult weather for our car, shame about the pit stop.

[da_one]

Great race overall! We had the pace to win, but unfortunately, getting the tires to ideal temp did us in. Plus Hamilton capitalized on a few mistakes by Alonso on the crucial laps.

We have shown that even with EBD, we can beat Redbull. The team should now concentrate on making the tires work right away just like Redbull and Maclaren.

Look at the body language between ALO and HAMster ,, hahaha leaning away from each other

[steelstallions]

Four races ago I would have been satisfied with this result, but after Silverstone I cannot help but feel a twang of disappointment in Alonso being mugged on his penultimate pitstop and then the pit crew letting Massa down

[luicchi]

well . in spanish alonso said is expectations about hungary next week. It´s good to hear that .

[Tehvon]

Great job done today. Massa had his best drive for awhile dispite un unlucky pit stop. Alonso's race for first was not messed up by the pit crew it was infact that he hit traffic a few corners before entry to his last pit stop. He would have come out much more infont of ham. But our car is much better now and in a warmer race we would have left them all behind even with their blowing hot gases.

What do you mean? Podium expectation for Hungary?

[Brakefade]

I have good feeling about the upcoming races. These conditions were exactly what we don't want, and we still came 2nd. I'll take that any day. All the next races it should be warmer.

Alonso already lost time to Hamilton prior to his final stop. Plus even if he got ahead of Hamilton during his stop, I think Hamilton would have overtaken him anyways. We still have problems getting the tires to work instantly. Having said this, we can't really complain and 2nd place is a good result considering we have beaten Redbull even with EBD back.

Very much agree

[Grillo]

A bittersweet day but it was a good one for the WCC. It could have been a perfect day with a win and Massa ahead of Vettel but we still will have some wins this season and we might be able to put up a fight if we can put RB/Vettel under pressure.

Any news on Alonso stopping issue? TV here reckons he has no fuel, may be penalised...

[EL NANO]

Let's just hope there was some fuel left in ALO car

[SanderV]

We need all the downforce we can get for Hungary don't we?

[Katu]

What do you mean? Podium expectation for Hungary?

according to my sister who came from Hungary a week ago, it's hot as hell there. if he managed P2 in conditions what's were supposed to be the worse, then podium in Hungary shouldn't be a problem

Alo dd not look worried , should b ok.. Let's hope..

[Katu]

Fernando was told to stop the car, so i guess there must be something left

[F1si]

A great race by both of our drivers, one win and two second places from three races by Fernando isn't bad at all. Also a great battle against Vettel by Felipe, it's a shame that he lost the fourth place, he really deserved it. All in all, a great result by our team in conditions which shouldn't suit our car at all. I think we can have a pretty good weekend in Hungary.

[DIEK]

Better temps for Ferrari tyres, but better circuit for Red bull...

[Alonsomaniac]

Great race, and the outcome is okay with me. Lewis knew exactly what he was doing when he passed Alonso, he knew the Ferrari has trouble with cold tyres and he also knew Alonso would let him live through the corner.
So, in the end I must say the three front runners made it a good and very fair race.
What satisfies me is that we can fight for the win again.

He left enough fuel for sample testing, so don't worry

[Alonsomaniac]

Felipe did great also, showed Vettel that racing is something else than driving a fast car in the front.
The pitstop.........brrrrrrrr, some asses should be kicked by Felipe......but I suppose he is too much a nice guy to do that.

[Rishu]

Easily Lewis was the driver of the day. Alonso should be satisfied with this result. Shame Felipe lost two on two in last the laps of the races
