Hamilton is back in the championship points lead

Not back in the lead; it's the first time he's been in the lead all season


On a very hungover Monday morning I was watching a re-run of the GP3 race at Hungary. The winner, and now current leader of that series, is a Thai driver by the name of Arthur Albon. I did a bit of research and his career up until GP3 has been pretty uninspiring, to say the least, but he's been on good form for this GP3 season. Will we perhaps be seeing him in a F1 car in years to come?

Phew, finally caught up on all the Grand Prix, so I can now look at this thread. We were away for over a month during June and July, and amazingly managed to avoid seeing the results of the races. We thought it a tad rude to subject my mum (82) and Mr.VS's mum (93) through 2 hours of the thrill (??) and excitement (??) of F1, so downloaded the races and watched them when we got back to Thailand.

My weak excuse for propping up the league table is that I had no idea who had won the previous races. Mr. VS was just darn lucky.

VS

[Parahandy]

Just to add to what Old Sparkle was saying above, I was darned lucky to stay anywhere near the top without having the first idea what was going on in the world of F1. Nobody told me that those blue things were going round and round in circles a bit faster than those red things. Now may the fun start again...

Parahandy Go! ??

(What a dumb thing to say - I'll get back in the box...)

I don't know what more you can say about Hamilton, coming from last place to finish 3rd and achieving the fastest lap in the process. He's like the All Blacks of the F1 world. .
