I didn't get a chance to see it because my DVR cut out

But, I did get to read about it.

FA: "You can't do things like that."

FM : "What are you talking about?"

FA: "Don't play smart with me, you know very well. You hit me on purpose, you turned the wheel to push me off."

FM : "What? Go f--k yourself!"

FA : "You f--k off! Next time I'll push you into the wall."
Alonso said he later apologized and wrote it off as all the aggression built up from racing.

I really didn't see anything wrong with the line Alonso took during the pass. He had nowhere else to go but keep his line and try to get a clean line through the next turn.

I do think Alonso is covering himself though because of what he did during Friday Practice when the two of them were demonstrating professional road rage.

Alonso and Massa are awful people.

Hamilton and Kimi keep it professional and clean. God is this years season going to keep us glued to our TVs until Brazil!

that pile up was awesome.....it was like a comedy. Supposedly Scott Speed got into a physical confrontation with one of the toro rosso team leaders after that and they said he is kicked off the team. Now there are reports that maybe he is not gone yet.

Franz was pissed at him for going off. But ****ing nearly everyone who was there was off... They can't see the water depth at 140mph...

I think Franz is way too harsh, and they should do a better job of working with their drivers on the car setup. I've listened to Speed's testing communication, and he's giving decent feedback, but the engineers aren't producing the changes needed it seems.

I didn't realize all that steam was coming out at the Post Race Meeting. My DVR didn't record any of that. I guess they're not always going to get along.

Yeah....it was like a river. The one time that being slow actually helped spyker! Not to mention that great last second strategy to switch tires

I'm glad McLaren won't have points removed because of the spying drama... now we can sit back and enjoy the rest of the season as they fight it out...

It's gonna be fantastic :RockOn - not mine:

Looks like rain for Hungary for Saturday and Sunday. Vettel better stay on track or he's "Tost".

A tight, twisty track like the Hungaroring has to favour the short wheelbase McLaren...Probably a 1-2 finish for the silver arrows.

By the sounds of it they are all having major tyre problems....graining, degredation etc..that won't suit Alonso's choppy turn-in driving style...maybe Hamilton will get the better of him on Sunday.

This track sucks for overtaking so Qualifying will be everything.

They say the tires are the soft compounds they carry since they know the rain will come on Saturday and Sunday. So today's super hot climate was not good for the tires. See you at 5:00 AM

What a cheater. He knows Hamilton had a chance to get pole so his tactics had to come into play.
Masa just couldn't get it going.

That was not good. It looked like Ron Dennis was pissed.
