The Hungarian GP Saints and Sinners?

[landogeorgelewis1]

The Saints were those Marshalls that managed to stop that fire on Heidfelds Renault without needing a safety car to come out.

The Sinners were the Sauber team for leaving their cars out on the race track for longer than what the tyre's could go for. Are their on a budget or something, Brundle was right Sauber should be going for all out glory.

Who were your Saints and Sinners (remember no drivers in this one)?

Sinners have to be McLaren for their disastrous split strategy and expecting Hamilton to pull a gap of +20 seconds over 15 laps, on a tyre which was at best only 0.8s a lap quicker.

Saint: St. Lewis of Stevanage, patron saint of opportunistic overtaking moves past backmarkers on Mark Webber.
Sinner: Lewis Hamilton, for his spin which lost him 5 places eventually

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Saint = The weather for spicing up the Grand Prix in Hungary which is usually a snooze fest.
Sinner = Mclaren for throwing away a 1-2 finish by doing a split strategy.

The saints were the marshalls who took care of Heidfeld's car. That was brave of them, the cars were wiggling pretty badly when coming out of the pits! Especially the one who apparently got hit by debris as the car exploded (he appeared to be in front of it and started limping to the wall afterwards). I hope he's okay

The sinners are Sauber for messing up their strategy! Very disappointing.

At the risk of turning this thread into another discussion matching the main GP thread, his spin ultimately didn't lose him any places. Without the drive through he would still have finished in 4th.

Saints: The marshalls to clear the Renault away in racing conditions and in a pitstop window
Sinners: McLaren putting another set of super softs on Hamiltons car when the prime tyre was the better choice.

 

[Bill Boddy]

Saints - the marshals as above.
Sinners - the driver who forced another off the track by making himself a mobile chicane when a stationary one would have been much safer. Button, for not reading the script. Rosberg for running faster than the GOAT wet driver. Vettel for doing an overtake when everyone knows that he can't. Alonso for being Alonso.

 

[MCLS]

Alonso for being Alonso.

Explain?

 

[Bill Boddy]

Explain?

I thought that Alonso was always a sinner. Have you looked on any of the UK forums or at the UK papers?

Saint..... MBrundle. After Lewis' spin........ said he didn't think it warranted a penalty
Sinner..Coulthard....Once again ...saying gleefully .....Lewis will get a penalty.............. for forcing another car off the track.........
Do the stewards listen....?
I have watched the spin many times....Lewis' car was across the track...what he did...looked like the best action to avoid a pile up.
Ted Kravitz even said Jenson lucked into a win..... lap 60/61

No drivers please Mr. Yokel

Why is Lewis the sinner for spinning, Alonso spun more times, everyone had a wobble including the winner Button, I dont think Lewis chose to spin at that point so technically he cannot be a sinner

A sinner must intend to sin

Sorry, I should have put the smiley in. I did think though that since my other remarks were obviously not serious that one would be seen in the same light.

 

[F1ang-o]

Except that isn't telling it how it is though

or looks to me

 

[Slyboogy]

Hammydigrassi has made a good thread here, let's not spoil it with silly comments and going on with the same debate...it's already been covered in several topics!

Saints - was there one? They all looked evil out there to me!
Massa letting Alonso through without a fight, ah how Saintly off him! And Schumacher for spinning his car intentionally to avoid taking out Massa and saving Mercedes money on a front wing!

Sinner - Heidfeld's Renault thinking that it was a bunsen burner!

 

[Fenderman]

Seriously., though.

Sinners: Renault for releasing a car into a race that was clearly in terminal trouble and Charlie Whiting for a potentially disastrous decision not to close the pit lane during the recovery process (anyone else notice Vettel having to correct a slide as he exited the pit?).
Saints: The marshalls.

Everything else was "racing incident" or "strategic cock-up".

I must admit I thought the Pit Lane Exit BBQ highly dangerous and the subsequent recovery even more so. I was going to add 'What were they thinking?' - but obviously they weren't...

 

[The Artist.....]

For me, the ultimate sinner in the Hungarian GP was the person who hacked into Jenson Button's website and posted the "article" about him being in a critical condition following a car accident!

 

[The Artist.....]

... And bringing it back on topic....

A further sinner for the weekend - it's a tie between Bernie Ecclestone, the BBC and Sky....

 

[no-FIAt-please]

My saint this weekend... The fan near turn 1 who spoke his mind about F1 and Sky on the forum!
