He's been man enough to apologise, so that's good.

I'm starting to get a little worried about Jensen. He seems a little too dependent on a good car or set up. He's underperforming compared with last year.

Mike.

I think all drivers are dependant on a good car or set up. At this level the driving standards are pretty much neck and neck except for the odd brain fade. The cars and set ups are one of the major deciding factors when a wing adjustment of a few mm could mean the difference between pole position and 2nd or 3rd row on the grid.

If Jensen's team is getting it wrong then he should be pretty miffed with them.

Possibly, but Hamilton seems to be doing a lot better with the same equipment. Mind you, Hamilton has been with McLaren longer, so Jensen may still be feeling his way into the set up at the team.

Good.

I gotta admit, Barrichello getting past Schumacher actually made me yell "Yeah!" at the screen. Barrichello's luck often seems quite bad and I was expecting him to either not manage an overtake or have an off-track adventure.

For a split-second, when Schumi forced him over towards the wall, I sort of said 'yeah, here it comes'....and then Rubens passes him anyway.

Great driving, and made the race for me. Judging by his mood in the post-race, I'm guessing it made the season for Rubens.

I watched the race live in Budapest, my first race! What a kick it is when those machines scream by for the first time.

Here is a video diary, sort of:

Nice video diary there Stabiz of your F1 experience. Loved the Prodigy track from the Jilted Generation album. Suited the race perfectly.

I try to get to a F1 GP every few years if possible. Went to Turkey last year for the full weekend and just to quali at Silverstone this year. Prior to that were races when back home in Australia during the 90's in Adelaide twice and Melbourne once. Have always had a ball no matter if the races were exciting or dull. It's the mates that you go with which makes it great in my opinion.

Amen to that, although I lucked out one year in Melbourne and got pit passes and corporate hospitality in the Williams box above the pits which was completely awesome. Got to meet Mark Webber and one of my all time F1 hero's Jackie Stewart! If anyone gives you the opportunity to do something like this jump at it!

Meanwhile back to the circus! Schumacher gets pinged with a 10 place grid penalty for Belgium! Well deserved IMHO.
