Hungarian Grand Prix
I was surprised not to see any mention of Michael Schumacher's win on
Sunday at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
I saw only the last third of the race, where Ferrari called Michael in
to change tires (2nd time) after only 19 laps. they did a marvelous
job of fueling and tire changing in 7 seconds! Then Micahel put on a
display of such phenomenal driving that I was in awe! The car seemed
so light, like it could have been blown off the track had an errant
wind cropped up at some inopportune corner. as it was, Michael did
overdrive one corner, but did a neat job of recovering, losing only a
second or two. At that point he was making up 1 1/2 seconds per lap on
Mika Hakinnen, and took the lead when Mika pitted for tires. For a
while, Michael was driving on the very edge; I have never seen a
driver snake his way thru the corners so rapidly. It was absolutely
awesome.
