7 for me, and probably would've been an 8 had Hamilton's puncture not deprived us of a gripping fight for the lead.

It's a solid 7. It was looking like an 8 or 9 when Massa and Hamilton were setting themselves up for a fight to the finish, dropped back to a 6 after Hamilton's tire woes, then bumped back up to a 7 as Massa's car slowed to a halt on the pit straight.

Predictably on a Hungarian track where overtaking is next to impossible, a snoozefest after lap 1. I'll give a 4, only because of Massa's great move at the start.

2 - I fell asleep... probably not helped by the fact the tide turned and my signal dropped on big TV so had to watch it through the snowy TV from my bed!

3 at best - a boring race, with a few good moments at the beginning and some unexpected developments at the end.

5. Ive seen far worse in Hungary. This race was action packed by Hungarian standards.

A six.
Apart from Massa's pass on the Macca's there was little in the way of close battles down the field,unless you consider running line astern one second behind the car in front a close battle. Once again car/tyre/fuel rig failure spiced things up. |

My rating: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I gave it a 5 - that's 3 for the racing and 2 bonus points for Heikki winning. |

7 for what I have seen, too busy at the Coombe, first time in 40 years, has not improved much, still no lecy points, organisation of paddock a bit shambolic, and they moan about Silverstone, Ring next week, you vill park THERE! und do as you are ordered.

dissapointing, hardly a show for the fans more an hour and half advertising board circullating on a track.Instead I watched the 1989 race with Mansell in the Ferrari from 12th just to show how it should be done.

Only 3 emotions in the race: Massa passing the Macs at the start; Lewis' puncture; Massa engine failure.
In a normal race I'd go for a 4, but for a Hungary GP, it's quite above average therefore I voted 7 |

I'll give it a seven. Against all expectations I really quite enjoyed it.
Massa and Glock were great. Alonso and Raikkonen weren't nearly as exciting as they should've been but suddenly Raikkonen came alive and torched everyone. Hamilton and Kubica lost out quite badly, trumped as they were by Heikki Kovalainen for his first grand prix win. The Hungaroring delivered its seventh different winner in a row - and in a cruel twist of fate it was not the man we believed, for sixty-seven laps, that it would be. Classic! |

7 Could have been a 9 if you could actually pass at this circuit.

hard one to nail down.
the racing has been great this year, but has often come down to weather or an incident spicing things up. after quali i figured we would be in for a regular parade, but Massa really did liven things up at the start and an unexpected podium for Glock and then the blow up and Kimi's last minute wake up call kept it interesting until the end. so on the basis of exceding expectations, gave it a 7. |
