Hungarian Grand Prix stewards have penalised world champion Fernando Alonso for an incident involving Red Bull’s Robert Doornbos during Friday practice at the Hungaroring.

Alonso gesticulated at Doornbos, whom he felt had held him up, and then appeared to deliberately weave and slow his Renault in front of the Dutchman’s car during the afternoon’s session.

Stewards Tony Scott Andrews, Antonio Vasconcelos Tavares and Lajos Herczeg decided that Alonso’s actions were “unnecessary, unacceptable and dangerous”, and awarded him a one second time penalty to be applied to his fastest lap time in each of the qualifying sessions, Q1, Q2 and Q3.

Additionally, Alonso received a similar penalty for overtaking another car after the session had finished, under waved yellow flags.

He will thus get an aggregated cumulative penalty of two seconds in Q1, Q2 and Q3, effectively damning his chances on a circuit on which overtaking is virtually impossible.

sucks for him ... :roll:

[nthfinity]

sucks for him ... :roll:

seriously, he's losing it.... no more "cool and calm Alonso" i suppose

:)

go Michael Schumacher! and everybody else possible to finish in front of him :)

[5vz-fe]

To be honest, I really don't like MS beating FA this way, but hey, it's not his fault Alonso made a boo boo

[nthfinity]

To be honest, I really don't like MS beating FA this way, but hey, it's not his fault Alonso made a boo boo

think of this as the Manaco quali vs. Hungarian Quali, and its still equal footing ;)

[bultaco_metralla]

MS penalized for overtake with red flags :D :D the first two cuts!

Post ddicated to ronin, 5vz-fe, nickdaskater and their squires about this http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41996&highlight= ! LOL !!

This makes a new race!! But if Schumi pass the second cut ... OMG MS!!!

I would like to see MS next to FA in the strating grid, this would promise an awesome race!!

[nickthaskater]

Dedicated for what? Schumacher wasn't penalized for flipping out on a Friday test driver.

I don't really get why Schumacher got a 2 second penalty since Alonso only got a 1 second penalty for passing... Possibly because it was a red flag I suppose, or maybe the FIA is favouring Renault! OmGConzpiraseez!

[nthfinity]

WTF

2 seconds for pulling an Alonso under flags?

that is clear bias against the man.

Alonso 15th -8th row
Schumacher 12th :) 6th row after beating p2 by 1/2 second...

[LotusGT1]

LOL@clear bias. Passed Kubica and Alonso under red flag -> 2 * 1 second

[nickthaskater]

LOL@clear bias. Passed Kubica and Alonso under red flag -> 2 * 1 second
Nearly running Doornbos off the road, then brake checking him, should've been worth more than 1 second. Either way, Schumacher was only 2 tenths shy of progressing to session 3 even with the 2 second penalty haha.

[LotusGT1]

Alonso didn't even try. Running Doornbos off the road is an exaggeration...

[saadie]

th last 10 seconds were the best :shock:

[nickthaskater]

Alonso didn't even try. Running Doornbos off the road is an exaggeration...
He was at least 4 car widths away from the racing line, which he dove back to after pushing up along side Doornbos. Didn't even try... You have to try pretty hard to get over that far, and get that close to another car without hitting them, then diving back to the racing line and blatantly brake checking him in the corner.

Give it up, Renault already have.

[LotusGT1]

I meant that Alonso hardly tried to get to the third tier. He was in the pits very soon.

goo raikonen !! 8) 8)

[nickthaskater]

I meant that Alonso hardly tried to get to the third tier. He was in the pits very soon.
Probably because they knew they didn't have the pace, so there was no point in wasting the tires. Ferrari on the other hand had a legit shot at it, and nearly pulled it off.

Great run by Raikkonen, glad to see my #2 guy on pole, and my #3 in P2.

[bmagni]

lol @ the 2 second penalty, shouldn't it be 1 sec ??
or is it cause he overtook 2 cars, and if you overtake 2 cars under yellow flag during the race do they give you 2 drive thru penalties ??

Anyways, this just makes the race more exciting, and hes still 5 spots ahead of Alonstronzo.
If he could finish 5th starting last in Monaco... :roll:

[saadie]

he over took two cars under Red flag ;) ..

[nickthaskater]

Button is getting a 10 spot penalty, so that bumps Schumacher up to 11th place... If Massa gets the jump on Kimi, Schumacher has a damn good chance of getting himself on the podium.

[5vz-fe]

I wonder if MS going for light fuel load or heavy one....... I hope it will be a light one so we can see some on track passing...same goes for FA.

[black_magician]

Kimi's running on fumes. He'll pit on lap 5.

[nickthaskater]

Considering the lack of overtaking opportunities here, and Ferrari's outright speed, I'd go for a 2 stopper and hope that the car is capable of picking off at least 4 cars off the start of the grid. Trust in the pace of the car and hope for the best as other cars peel off into the pits, opening the road for him.

It'll definitely be interesting...

[nejcdolinsek]

Jesus, what an incredible lap by Schumi :shock:

Its going to be an exciting race. I'm betting on Massa winning the GP, because Kimi just doesn't have the race pace. As for MS and FA, I'm guessing MS will definitely get a podium finish. As for FA, a lot will depend on DNFs, because lets face it, he just doesn't have the pace to beat MS and FM.

[5vz-fe]

If Masa can overtake Kimi in the start and then manage the pace and help Schumi to maximize's the extra fuel, there may still be a chance for ferrari 1 2

[bultaco_metralla]

this is DURING RACE!!!!!

OMG what a race, what a start what an awesome overtakings by Alonso!!! Schumi at 20 secs.... ALONSOOOOO STYLEEEE!!! GO GO GO!!!!!

Alonso now 1º!!! OH HELL YEAH !!!!!!!! if alonso wins this going to be awesome !!!! MS at 23 secs

THE RACE OF THE SEASON FOR SPANISH PEOPLE!!!!!!

I would love Dani to be here!!! Come back from Japan!!

Fuck, safety car, differences with Schumi will be reduced !!!

[nickthaskater]

Someone needs some downers...

Bridgestone really shot themselves in the foot this weekend with their wet/inter tires, absolutely pathetic. Schumacher is the highest running Bridgestone shod car right now, and he's in 8th place. Complete and utter failiure on their part.

As for the race, much like every other wet race, it's just ridiculous and filled with accidents.

Hardly anything amazing about passing cars that can barely stay on the track thanks to their tires by the way.

[bultaco_metralla]

Nick, After watching you and Ronin and other BULLSHITING about Alonso, i got to say: FUCK YOU LOL !!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[nickthaskater]

Grow up :roll:

Silly Raikkonen... Eyes forward son!

[bultaco_metralla]

NICK i got 4 years more than you LOOOOOL

and, dont you have to say something about Alonso's overtake from the out to Schumi???? LOOOOL!! FROM THE OUT !!! Now i want SCHUMI to recover positions to make an awesome race, but ive seen MS has make a drift in a curve....



Silly Raikkonen... Eyes forward son!

Hell yeah dude!!! What a HIT!!!

[nickthaskater]

Yea I have something to say about Alonso's overtaking move on Schumacher, it was very nice, and quite impressive of him to go out and find the line he needed to make the move stick.

If this were a dry race, I think we would have had an absolutely amazing battle between Schumacher and Alonso, but these wet tires are just night and day apart from eachother, there's no comparison.

[bultaco_metralla]

You cant compare with dry situation, but that was the situation in race !!!

[nickthaskater]

You cant compare with dry situation, but that was the situation in race !!!
I'm not comparing a dry situation, I was just saying I think we would've had a properly exciting straight fight between Alonso and Schumacher if it were dry, whereas now we just get to watch Bridgestone continually shooting themselves in the foot as each lap passes.

[MIHALS]

Ralf's taking drys...

what ya think?

ALONSO'S OUT

[nickthaskater]

HAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU BULTACO!

[harryo2b]

HAHAHAHAHA Eat that Alonso!!!! :lol:

[bultaco_metralla]

FUCK::.......... FUCK OFF RENAULT MECHANICS

[nickthaskater]

ROFL Button for the win :roflmao:

[bultaco_metralla]

ROFL Button for the win :roflmao:

at least hes going to get his 1st victory.... but i see Schumi so fast ... Go Schumi GO!!

[nickthaskater]

Haha Schumacher is in a rock and a hard place now... Stick it out with inters for 2nd, or try for drys.

[MIHALS]

SHUMI 2nd... 15 laps to go...

[bultaco_metralla]

Hope at least Pedro finish 3rd!!!!!!! That fucker raikkonen fuck the race with that safety car... FUCKER

[MIHALS]

battle is on!!!

[MIHALS]

pedro 2nd!!!

shumi is OOOOUUUUUTTTTTT

[MIHALS]

CONGRATS JASON !!!!!!

[bultaco_metralla]

FUCK YOU NICK!!!! LOOOOOOL

Pedro 2nd !!! Spanish HELL YEAH! !!!

Awesome race dont you think???

[03200165]

Amazing race, finally Button!

What a race!

[Everlasting]

crazy-crazy race!

[Toronto]

mark it down boys the countdown to knight hood for JB is coming

[nejcdolinsek]

WHOA! Kick ass race!!! :D :P

[No.1]

CONGRATS JASON !!!!!!

I'm sure you mean JENSON :wink:

Congrats indeed - its just the thing he needs to get himself high again, and help him push for his next victory.

I was a little sad that he took so long to get this win, and it didn't look likely if we see the lack of pace/reliability in the last part of the season.

But hats off to Jenson - he's joined an elite club with very few members and i hope this is the first of manyCongrats indeed - its just the thing he needs to get himself high again, and help him push for his next victory. 8)

[nickthaskater]

Glad to see Jenson finally get that monkey off his back, I can't imagine how relieved he must be...

Absolute shitter that Schumi had some sort of failiure... Even if he'd taken fourth, it would've been something. Oh well, at least Alonso didn't increase the lead either.

[McLarenboy]

Pff, Jenson really has to enjoy this as much as he can because never in his life is he going to win a race when all the big players are still in the run. This reminds me a bit of Rubens first wins. He won Germany and England after somebody ran on to the track and fucked the race up. Well this is sort of the same lines. Button is worth absolutely nothing when racing against Alonso, Schumi & Raikkonen. :fist:

How amazing that so many drivers made so many mistakes, seems like nobody ever really learned how to drive in the wet. Like when the teamradio came on of Speed confirming the time was right for slicks :roll:

But thé loser of the race was Michael, i mean after the thing that happened to Raikkonen at the Nurburgring last year you'd think they would pit just one last time to make the finish but no. He's definitly lost the championship here, just add two more points at the end of this season and you'll see he would have been champion

@bultaco: phahahahaah, alonso out - so in your face! It aint over till the fat lady sings...

[maja]

This was one of the best F1 races I saw.
You guys mentioned Alonso, Schumi and Kimi. But I'd like to congratulate the bigest suprises of all... KUBICA!! :)

This was Kubica debut on the F1 race and he finished 7th! He is 21 years old and is great.
This was a huge suprise. He made great lap times at fridays as a 3rd driver in other races at the season. This time he started in a race and he made me as excited as seeing a dream car on the street, speechless while watching it.
in the f second lap he did a spin landing in a 16th position. Then he did a pit stop and manage to climb into 10th place. Then again spined and landed on 16the place. After that he climbed to 7th overtaking Ferrari driver and Michael brother. This was a tremendous race.
I don't want to say "what if" but imagine this race with a nice worm weather. I wonder where then Kubica would finish the race :)

Looking forward to next races with Robert Kubica

[sameerrao]

Crazy race I must say. Its been a long time since we had a wet race and it made a typically tight and boring circuit come alive with lots of overtaking.

The Top Ten finishers today (apart from Massa) looked like the typical finishers from 11-20 - no Raikkonen, Schumacher, Alonso, etc. If one just joined in, they would have thought Speed TV skipped a page.

I missed the first 20 minutes but the rest was mayhem. Unfortunately it was too early in the AM for popcorn but it would be been perfectly appropriate given all the drama in today's race.

I thought today was a repeat of Indy 2003 where the Bridgestone vs Michelin runners went forwards and backwards depending on the amount of water on the racetrack. If memory serves me right in 2003, the Bstones were atrocious in semi-dry conditions but came into their own as it wetted up. This race was the complete opposite rom a tire standpoint.

I think the best drive was by Alonso today - he was the fastest runner for most of the race and particularly the moments when the track was really wet. Michael was splendid too driving hard when clearly the tires were not the best rubber on the track. i think Michael should have changed tires to slicks at his last stop - it could have perhaps kept him ahead of Heidfeld if not De le Rosa. I wonder what caused his retirement?

Both these guys made their #2s look extremely ordinary today.

Fantastic drive by Button to win under difficult circumstances. He was fast and mistake free and that's how you win wet races.

De La Rosa did a great job too - I liked his remark to guys in the command center - "Dont worry guys I know what I am doing" - I guess the nervous nannies behind the pitwall must have been advising him too much on the radio

Great debut by Kubica

[nickthaskater]

Schumacher retired due to suspension damage, incurred when Heidfeld made a move on him in the same chicane where de la Rosa had a few gos, and Schumacher wound up hitting the back of Heidfeld's car.

[saadie]

lucky ass ... jesnen bottn :) ..
.finally hes showing that he really is a contender ... next season will be awosme ..

damn that mixup of kimi and luizzi ..... luizzi slowed down and gave kimi the way ... kimi though he wouldnt slow down lol .... funny but sad ..

nice to see renauly is back on the pase with the damn pers shit ..:lol:

all in all ... good race 8)

ohh and schumi assed up again .... he wasnt letting anyone pass . lol .. :lol:

[nickthaskater]

Last time I checked, you don't 'let' someone pass you in the dying laps of the race. If he was that much slower, then the competitors have to find a way to get around him. He was racing for points and position, and he was holding his own with de la Rosa pretty well for a while. Not his fault if the competitors can't get by him. Hell, Alonso got by him pretty well.

[saadie]

not letting anyone pass is one thing .. blocking is another ;) .....

[he7lius]

Well done Jenson. :) :) :clap: :clap:

Just disappointed about Kimi.

[LotusGT1]

Alonso was the most impressive in the first half of the race, the way he came from 15th to 1 was nothing short of fucking impressive. Race was entertaining to the end, good for Button he got the win.

[nickthaskater]

not letting anyone pass is one thing .. blocking is another ;) .....
It's fucking racing man, keeping someone behind you is part of the game, J.V. and Webber are notorious for it. It's also part of the game to be good enough to find a way around, like Alonso did early on.

And a real shame here, Kubica has been DQ'd for being underweight... This development moves Schumacher up to 8th and he scores a point, cutting into Alonso's lead to 10.

And this is horrible. 2 kg underweight! I bet now BMW and Mario Theissen will decide to let Robert Kubica race in Turkey. I bet Villeneuve is really in trouble now.

and thats howthe drivers get the reputations ;) .....

[GRiP_DRiVER]

Wow that has to be the best F1 I've watched in some time. Not the normal first half of the race is good. Then the second half sucks and you just wait for pitting.


I was in shock when Alonso's wheel fell off. Wow. Then MS got up to 2nd with his crap tires. Wow what a race.

[bmagni]

Best race so far, pretty entertaining, I was pretty tired but I couldn't sleep cause it kept me awake all the time...

[ZfrkS62]

I had circus music going through my head during the whole race. That was insane!

Raikonnen flying off the back of Liuzzi, Fisi flying off the track, Alonso losing a nut, Schumi loosing his sterring, Trulli's engine going boom...Button getting a win, Heidfeld and De la Rosa on podium...the fun never stopped :D This should make the next race even more frantic :D

[nthfinity]

so BMW sauber take the DQ in stride....

Am I the only one who thinks they are hiding something; hence the full cooperation, and not pressing the matter to higher courts?

[ZfrkS62]

^ I guess so. Heidfeld passed, i don't know why Kubica failed. Unless of course he lost more weight than they thought during the race.

They do combine the driver's weight to the weight of the car don't they?

[sentra_dude]

Most exciting race this season no doubt, rain always makes things interesting. I can't believe Kimi plowed into the back of that other car so completely :x ...I was hoping he'd win. Then we have Alsono's wheel nut fall off, that must reeally suck, I wonder what happened to the wheel nut guy?!

Finally we have Micheal trying waaay too hard to keep his position...what the hell was his problem. It was obvious the guy behind him was faster, and still when he was about to be passed he cut the chicane? He should have moved over after cutting the chicane, serves him right to have a broken steering rack. If he would have just accepted a slightly lower position maybe he would have actually finished the damn race. :roll:

And, GO HONDA! 8) Finally Jenson wins, and Honda gets a win! :D :D :D

[bmagni]

while he should have let Pedro by the first time, it's still possible he drove 2 laps with a fucked up steering system which would have been entirely possible.

It may have happened when he lost his front wing for all we know

[nickthaskater]

PS. Alonso didn't have a nut fall off, he had a driveshaft failiure (confirmed by Renault).

[EnzoLover]

Nice race :D

Some videos (http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?p=690247#690247)

[Fleischmann]

Awesome race!! I don't think anybvody was expecting the outcome. Jensen with his first win after 133 races. Alonso ending the race before time, Schumacher with problems 3 laps before the end. And Kubica...what a great debut, too bad he was disqualified. Apparantelly the unexpected weight loss was caused by the tyres wearing out. The last ten laps were just a lottery, Kubica was still racing on semi's whilst everybody else had already changed to slicks, but with dark clouds above the track rain could have started pouring any second.

Scott Speed had a rotten bit of luck. The station broadcasted the driver talking with the team, he said "we should change our tyres in 2 laps". After changing them the car couldn't catch grip, like it was riding on a sheet of ice. So then he returned to the pits and changed to wet tyres.Two pointless pit stops.

This was not only a battle amongst the drivers, but also between tyre manufacturers and it definatelly showed.

Does anybody know where I could get the entire race? This looks like one that is worth watching ;) .
