A different way I am writing down in this weeks thoughts of the race. The race wasn't the best race this season. But, this race was more of how dominating Fernando Alonso is throughout the weekend when the Ferrari F2012 is on a dry track. At start of the season, Alosno's Ferrari on a dry track was only just managing finishing top eight's in the first few races apart from Malaysia. And since Barcelona, Alonso's Ferrari is now challenging for straight on for wins in the Ferrari. Even when he can't win the race, Alonso is on the podium positions and being constantly in the points in each race weekend this season.

So, well done for Fernando Alonso and Ferrari for winning last weekends German Grand Prix and proving F2012 is a fast car in the right hands with Alonso. And now, Alonso is 34 points ahead of Mark Webber and 44 points ahead of Sebastian Vettel in the drivers championship with half a season to go. Did anyone expect that at the start of the season?

And so this weekends Hungarian Grand Prix at Hungaroring outside of Budapest. Predictions for the race: Fernando Alonso for the win in the Ferrari, ahead of Mark Webber in the Red Bull and Jenson Button third in the Mclaren. Don't forget Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Pastor Maldonado the two Mercedes AMG drivers, the two Lotus F1 drivers or the two Sauber drivers as well.

End of blog for how, new blog soon, that is all. Bye.
