Hamilton top as McLaren set pace (Hungarian live thread)

Lewis Hamilton clocked the quickest lap of the day during the second practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

McLaren's world champion left it late with a lap 0.047 seconds faster than team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, who had topped the morning timesheets.

A low-key day for Brawn's Jenson Button ended with the championship leader posting the 13th fastest time.

Red Bull's championship-chasing duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel were fourth and sixth fastest respectively.

Dear Tard,

For the past ten years I have been at FR, there has always been a strong objection to posting results in the title to any sporting event, even if it was just practice. This has not a thing to do with your fictional belief that it would create some kind of censorship. It has to do with the common courtesy that some people may not have had the chance to watch or listen to an event yet. Chode properly posted the results of the German GP, but failed this time.

Personal responsibility is one of the basic tenants of a Conservative website Are you ready to get of your high horse now? Should I be bowing to your greatness?

and I genuinely like the guys on SPEED, despite my personal preference to avoid the socialist broadcasting of the BBC I doubt you have ever watch a BBC or in the past 12 years, an ITV F1 broadcast? There is zero comparison. Every part of the show is better, including the fact that on the socialist BBC channel, it is commercial free.

On the other hand, I doubt you could tell the difference, being so high above the rest of us asshats. I also doubt that you will not respond to this, since you have to tell the world how it really is.

Then allow me to also take exception to your use of foul language on this forum

Most of us can express ourselves without the F-bombs

I can understand if it was the race or qualifying (I skipped the qual posts), but practice? Nick Heidfeld had been running tops in quite a few of the practice sessions for the early part of the season, but he has what, 6 points?

Anyway, maybe we can just have “F1 Hungarian GP live thread’ type titles.

I guess we now have to live in fear of the F1 Posting police

The inability to exchange thought on a race just run seems to me altogether inapposite the concept of this forum ... but what do I know?

I understand Massa has been put into an induced coma for 48 hours to relieve stress after the surgery

and last year he just missed the championship in the last turn

Prayers for him and his family ... I believe he's soon to become a father

from bbc

Fernando Alonso: "The start was great, unlike the last two grands prix. The team did a lot of work on that. But we had some troubles with the tyre and the fuel pump [causing us to retire]. It could be something with the rim of the wheel, maybe the frame was loose. This is motorsport. We go to Valencia and we try again."

i'm not tryin to be a spoiler or pizz on anybody's parade and i would rather NOT be doing this at all.

i would be happy to give the list to anybody that wants to do it... just let me know.

since nobody else has done it, i did it, but i am always open to suggestions.

anybody wants on or off the list let me know.

I don't understand the controversy

Why should a spontaneous forum such as this be stopped because a few lack the ability to assume personal responsibility for what they read

God forbid a plane should fly into a building ... should we all be guilted out of posing because some others might not have had the opportunity to be here as it happened?

It's a shame that you can't have a running dialogue about an event because we have to play nanny to a few who want the world to stop until they can catch up

When the Super Bowl or World series are in progress there is usually a running dialogue on FR and i don't hear any whiners

Why are the self imposed "rules" dictated by a few different for F1 - it's Bernie E. logic

Guess he isn’t going to Valencia after all. “Renault suspended from European Grand Prix”
