Hungarian Grand Prix 2010 - Hungaroring

Well, so much for a boring race round the Hungaroring!! The 2010 Hungarian Grand Prix however will be remembered for a move that 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher put on former Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello. The incident occurred when the pair were battling for 10th place and one world championship point when Schumacher ran wide coming into the pit straight. Rubens Barrichello, following several attempts to pass, moved to the inside but Schumacher moved across forcing the Brazilian very close to the pit wall. The moved was made all the more horrifying by the onboard shot in Barrichellos car as he was forced within inches of the pit-lane wall and by a camera angle that showed Schumacher clearly looking for the Brazilian in his right wing mirror. After the race Schumacher said "Certain drivers have certain views and then there's Rubens". A clearly amazed Barrichello watched on the BBC feed and smiled at the audacity of Schumacher's arrogance saying "It always my fault". Relations between the two have been fraught since their Ferrari days when in 2002 Barrichello was told to let Schumacher through at the Australian Grand Prix and when Schumacher said that that the often emotional Barrichello "cries alot". A similar controversy has only recently dogged the Scuderia at Hockenheim as when Felipe Massa was "asked" to let Fernando Alonso through for the win in Germany.
Schumacher has since been given a 10 place penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix on August 29th and on his web-site has said "sorry if Barrichello felt that I had put him in any danger".
Michael Schumacher has never been far from controversy and is struggling with the Mercedes car with former team boss Ross Brawn.
In the Grand Prix Mark Webber romped home in first place in the Red Bull with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso second and a very miffed Sebastian Vettel in third in the second Red Bull car following a drive through penalty for not observing the safety car distance rule of ten car lengths. This leaves just a twenty point gap between the new championship leader Mark Webber and fifth place Fernando Alonso after scooping up 45 points in two races. Lewis Hamilton failed to finish in the McLaren and team-mate Jenson Button finished eighth.
