Kimi Raikkonen took an exciting pole position in the final few seconds of qualifying ahead of Felipe Massa and Jenson Button.

Jenson Button went 2nd quickest, again very late infront of Felipe Massa who qualified 3rd!

Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso both below the top ten. . .13th for Schumacher? 16th for Alonso?
 
Not quite, KR is on pole (another fake one I think)

FM is second, Barrichello is 3rd.

Button was 4th but due to the engine bust this morning he will start 14th.

So the next ten hop one place, De la Rosa is 4th, Schumacher is 11th and Alonso is 15th.

I would bet my money on Massa winning.
 
Agree,

Ferrari will push for Massa for the win, and Max points for Ferrari will do, MS will concentrate on gaining points and staying in front of Alonso.

Well done to the Pole Kubica at BMW, okay a fake 9th, but ahead of crappy Heidfield, Lets see if he can finish. That would be a blow to JV.
 
whats the lowset position that gets you points in F1? How does the whole points distribution work anyway?
 
So both Alonso and Schumi abandoned so the 11 points between them remained!!

Most exciting race I've ever seen. I'm so impressed.

I'm sad about the result, but extremely proud to be an Alonso fan today, today he proved he is the class of the field ... by far, Kimi melted under De la Rosa's pressure
<
and Michael did the worst race I ever seen him do, mentally he was totally destroyed by Alonso.

Luckily for him, Alonso had to abando due to a mechanical failure in what it should have been the best win ever.

Anyways congrats to Button for his first win!
 
JENSON BUTTTTTTONNNNN!

I'M SO PLEASED FOR HIM, 112 RACES AND FINALLY A RACE WIN!

I think Kimi would definately of knocked Button from the win if he didnt colide with back-marker Liuzzi.

Alonso seemed to have a suspension problem for most of the race, then when he put the slicks on the driveshaft went soon after...a big mistake by Alonso and Renault.

Jenson Button was by far my driver of the day, beating the record of furthest back on the grid-starting winner! (Since Nigel Mansell in 1989).

I think this is just the start for Button now, he will have the confidence to do it time and time again so expect him to finish on the podium more and hopefully win a lot more races.

Honda need a lot of congratulating too, it seems that they have got a race winning car!
 
Wow,

One of the most excitinf races in a long time by far.

I really didn't know what to expect next.

Kudos to Jenson, he drove a faultless race, and hopefully this may turn into a streak from him and Honda.

Alonso & Schumacher, so bizarre, however I think Schumacher had the worst of it during the race, with collisions with Fisi and Heidfield.

Other worthy mentions.

Kubica, really good way to kick of his first GP, don't forget he spun twice during the race.

Coulthard a nice 5th from him and Red Bull, pretty quiet race from him.

De La Rosa very good drive, and 2nd being his first podium was well deserved for the Spaniard. Kept the flag flying for Maclaren.

Big disapointment. Kimi, needs some luck but the smash was his doing.
 
Poor Kubica

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Kubica DQ is Ferrari and Schumacher gain.
Having been at the receiving end of the stewards wrath this weekend, Michael Schumacher and Ferrari were advantaged at the end of the Hungarian Grand Prix after Robert Kubica was disqualified from his seventh place finish.

The Pole had claimed a surprise two points on his debut with the team but officials disqualified him on the grounds of his car being 2kg underweight by virtue of the team choosing not to bring him into the pit lane to swap his intermediate tyres.

As a result, the loss of tread saw Kubica lose 2kg of weight in rubber and was duly disqualified from the standings.

Ferrari have therefore become the big beneficiary, with Felipe Massa moving up to seventh for an extra point, while Schumacher claims eighth, despite retiring with three laps to go after being classified ninth at the end of the race. The three points for Ferrari mean the gap to Renault in the constructors' standings is down to seven points.

HOW THE FCK CAN THEY GIVE MICHAEL SCHUMACHER 8TH WHEN HE RETIRED?!

THAT'S VERY UNFAIR...
 
Well he was the next placed driver to grab those points, but a big shame for Kubica, thats the complicated rules in F1 for ya!
 
But Michael Schumacher retired with 3 laps remaining? So that puts him out of the race?
 
^ I know it sounds odd, but the points still have to be allocated, and due to MS being the last retiree, he automatically inherites the point.

I do remember a very wet Monaco a few seasons ago, and due to a lot of DNF ( mainly cars skidding into the barriers ) there was about 5 cars left at the end of the race. In that season it was the top 6 that get allocated the points, so I think they counted back starting at the last retiree.

So makes it 10 points between the championship leaders, so a DNF for Alonso next race and a win for MS will put them level.
 
There were other cars still racing, (Monteiro, Albers, Sato ...)
But it seems they were 3 laps down so Schumi still got the point because he was 3 laps ahead of those.

I'm hoping Alonso will win in Turkey and finish off whatever mental strengh MS has left (if any).
 
That is rubbish. Kubica raced really well, he deserved that seventh place. Because he didn't change tyres he was disqualified? Bullsht.
And Schumacher given 8th?! You can't give points to someone who retired! Once you retire you finish the race. Just when my opinion of F1 started to change, they manage to fck up again.

I still don't see why that's fair, at least they FINISHED THE RACE unlike Schumacher, it doesn't matter how many laps behind they were!
 
They did the same laps as Schumi did, but they were slower. The only unfairness here is MS jumping the chicane and not getting penalised for that.
