Hungary GP is certainly getting a lot of praise.
I listened to commentary via BBC F1 website and it certainly kept my interest, although it seemed inevitable that Lewis would win in the end. When the maths was done the win was sealed. Lewis is such a good driver and the Mercedes is so reliable that it was just a matter of time and distance.
As always, the commentators focus on the leaders and in fact a couple of times they acknowledged this and told listeners to check the text based commentary for the lower field.
I feel that one of the big issues around F1 just now is the knee-jerk reaction to activities rather than taking the broader view. How many times have we heard "Ferrari are in with a chance this weekend", just because they have done well in Free-Practice 1?
Nico Rosberg has a Vlog on Youtube and speaks fairly openly, predicting that Valtteri Bottas lost his Mercedes seat at the same time as he lost the Hungarian GP. Although Ocon seems the likely candidate for Mercedes, Nico humorously asked viewers to comment on the possibility of Mercedes offering the seat to Fernando Alonso.
Another thing that bugs me about F1 is that the commentators all talk as if they are part of the decision-making group - "We need to ..." type of thing. "I mean" its as if they have forgotten that they are there for the benefit of spectators/audiences rather than the teams/drivers.
Yes great to see McLaren on the rise again.
Yes, we (the spectators/listeners) want the new blood in... and Hulkenberg, Magnussen, Kubica and Grosjean out.
