FORMULA ONE IN HUNGARY
This is a travel day and the computer I am using will not let met download any pictures. Too bad, because I love this picture. Not because Lewis Hamilton won today, but because Kimi Raikkonen came in second. His teammate, Romain Grosjean, came in third.
This is Hamilton's second win of the season. Kimi Raikkonen has finished on the podium five times out of the eleven races that have been run so far. This is the second time this season that he and Grosjean have been on the podium together. As I said before, it is only a matter of time before one of them makes a win.

INDYCAR IN CANADA (WEST)
TAKUMA SATO - 2nd, HELIO CASTRONEVES - 1st, WILL POWER - 3rd
For as much as Formula One (Germany) almost put me to sleep this Indycar race had me on the edge of me seat. Going in I felt that this race would be a loser, held on a very flat airport surface. I never liked airport races from day one. In Edmonton's favor they totally revamped the track. Qualifying was withing 10's of a second.
Helio Castroneves came in first, barely, as Takuma Sato was only 0.8367 of a second behind him. Castroneves was thrilled because two years ago, at this very track, he had a win taken away from him by a penalty for blocking. Psssst! It is just racing. Will Power came in third.
Sato, who is still my favorite for this year, was in second-third-fourth, second-third-fourth, second-third-fourth, it was hard to tell where he would end up. When he was finally closing in on Castroneves at the end I am sure that his team told him to just hang on for the second spot. He has a history of taking the dive for the win only to crash out. This was his highest Indycar finish to date.
I don't like same race penalties on those that finish in the top three. As with Castroneves two years ago or with Vettel today in Formula One. These people have earned that spot by risking life and limb. If race control can't give a penalty timely then they should carry it over to qualifying on the next race. Believe me, a 20 second penalty in qualifying will put them at the back of the pack.

FORMULA ONE IN GERMANY
FERNANDO ALONSO - 1st PLACE
This race was a 'ho-hum' race in my mind. The only excitement was that the first three places were up in the air until the last few laps. Alonso seemed to have a clear win until Vettel and Button got within shooting distance. Button started having tire problems and Vettel passed him with two laps to go pulling into second. It was not to last because he passed with all four wheels off the road. Rules are that if you go off the road you can't use it to better your position. So, Vettel got a 20 second penalty that put him in fifth place. Which allowed Kimi Raikkonen to go from fourth to third.

SPECIAL OF THE WEEK
1955 LANCIA D50
The Lancia D50 was a Formula One racing car designed by Vittorio Jano for Lancia in 1954. The car's design made use of many innovative features, such as the use of the engine as a stressed chassis member, the off-centre positioning of the engine to allow a lower overall height, and pannier fuel cells for better weight distribution and aerodynamics. Six of the cars were built, two of them are displayed in Italian museums.
The D50 made its race debut toward the end of the 1954 Formula One season in the hands of two-time and reigning World Champion, Italian driver Alberto Ascari. In its very first event Ascari took both pole position in qualifying and fastest race lap, although his car's clutch failed after only ten laps. Following Ascari's death, and in increasing financial trouble, the Lancia family sold their controlling share in the Lancia company, and the assets of Scuderia Lancia were given to Scuderia Ferrari. Ferrari continued to develop the car, although they removed many of Jano's most innovative designs, and the car was rebadged as the Lancia-Ferrari D50 and later simply the Ferrari D50.

FORMULA ONE IN ENGLAND
My personal favorite, Mark Webber, made an exciting pass with four laps to go for the win. Fernando Alonso had been leading most of the race, but had to settle for second. Sebastian Vettel, Webber's teammate, came in third. These three are in the lead with the championship points with Alonso 13 points ahead of Webber and 29 points ahead of Vettel. Germany is up next....hang on.
