It's cool to have F1 two weekends in a row but I'm honestly not expecting too much of this track, even with DRS and Pirelli tyres. Of course a race in changeable weather like 2006 would be awesome, especially since we were denied just that yesterday.

RBR are under pressure, but by everyone's reckoning, the Hungaroring should suit their car just fine. Vettel had the edge over Webber last year (though the latter ended up winning), I think we can expect the same given his form this year. I'd love to see LRGP do a bit better than they have lately, as I believe Petrov came home a commendable 4th last year, but their car doesn't seem to have the pace at the moment.

Is there a GP2 race as well? It might pretty much be the last hope of anyone hoping to deny Grosjean the title. Only two events remaining, unless I'm very much mistaken?

Yes, there is Hungary, Belgium and Italy remaining; Abu Dhabi is a non-championship event

Normally, the Red Bulls have the advantage on this track but I think that the Ferraris will be very strong. In my opinion they have the fastest car at this point of the season. One more thing is that the Pirelli soft tyre lasts longer than the beginning of the season, reminding last year's Bridgestone tyres. This helps Ferrari who have showed that they don't get along well with the harder compound. I don't expect the McLarens to be that competitive unless it rains or it's cold, as the weather forecast predicts, also Hamilton's driving skills have to be taken very seriously.

It's amusing that Nico Rosberg should be in a (somewhat) similar position as Jenson Button was after 100 starts: an unquestionably talented, very promising driver, having already recorded several good results and podium finishes, but who still hadn't managed to clinch that elusive first win, partly due to never having had a car that could do it. Perhaps a look at what JB has achieved between his 100th and 200th Grand Prix starts could boost the morale of Nico and his fans. :)

You managed to get an Interview with STR? :)
The FIA has decided to place the DRS zone on the main start-finish straight at the Hungaroring for this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
