Granted, there might have been a bit of Raikkonen/Alonso/Hamilton battling... but this was still one of the most boring GPs I've ever watched. Sad.

I think this whole qualifying fiasco was an internal problem within the team itself and had absolutely nothing to do with the racing stewards. I would have thought the racing stewards spoiled the race for all racing fans instead of rectifying matters! How ironic! I had a boring 2 hours thanks to the overly-eager-to-penalise Hungarian stewards! I’m a huge Mclaren fan and I do agree with what’s been said above.

THew penalty they gave to mclaren was a bit too much but someone with so much expirience in F1 like Ron Dennis eould have to know that there might be a penalty. Everyone knew that alonso was staying in the pits for too long and Hamilton wouldnt be able to make another timed lap. Concewrning the language they used on the team radio I think it is very unprofessional and there might be some problems in the team. Alonso stated many times that he does not like his team so much. I am a ferrari fan and i think that this years title drivers title will be decided between the two mclaren drivers. Kimi needs some time to understand everything in Maranello just like Schumi did. And then ferrari will be champion again. Yes the stewerds were wrong.

I hope they sort thir problems out soon. I can see not even in 2004 or 2006 RD was suffering as much from the situation.

So I don't know if it's reliable(BTW I used the wrong word, not "protested" but "testified against"), but anyway, it just make sense to me, why punish McLaren when McLaren was actually the victim, if the driver LH didn't protest/want FA to be punished? milos, I heard that from an other guy(KR fan I think) on a f1 forum: “Tele5 (a Spannish which has access to Alonso) reported that Hamilton testified against Alonso and Dennis…”

We've seen in the past how eager the Stewards are at the Hungaroring. Maybe they're on commission for penalties!

But I've just heard LH protested against FA and RD, that's why the stewards step in. Yes it’s a internal team problem, none of FIA/stewards business I agree.
