It was all fun until Kubica was DQ'd later after the race.

Kubica stripped of debut point's finish
06 August 2006

Robert Kubica has been disqualified from today's Hungary GP after his BMW Sauber was ruled to be 2kg under the minimum allowed weight in post-race scrutineering. Kubica had made a great debut to finish in the points in seventh place after a chaotic race.

An official statement said: "The stewards accept that the fact of the car being underweight was entirely inadvertent and give credit to BMW Sauber F1 Team for their assistance and cooperation in dealing with this matter.

"The reason for the car being underweight was explained as being attributable to excessive and unexpected tyre wear (and therefore weight loss) arising through continued use of wet weather tyres in comparison to the accustomed and anticipated rate of wear for dry tyres."

More importantly in the championship race this news means that Schumacher is classified as finishing eigth, earning him a crucial point and closing the championship gap to Alonso to 10 points. Moreover, Massa finishes seventh, winning 2 points for Ferrari in their chase of constructor championship leader Renault, who are now just 7 points ahead of the italian giants.

BMW Sauber have decided not to appeal against the disqualification.

Wow didn't know that, thanks for the heads up TD. What a race, and few hours later Schumacher gets a point, lucky bastard. Oh the endless drama...

It may look spectacular but I don't like it when it happens, I hate it when the pace car comes out, it kills the flow of the race.

Was an amazing race! The best so far this season, It was great from the moment qualifying started with both alonso and schumacher being penalised, and then alonso lapping schumacher in the race.

Was great to see jenson get his first win!!!

Seeing alonson spin off the track was the best moment ever, i dont think it was a wheel nut, he said in an interview he lost drive or something, althoguh im not sure if anything has been confirmed?!

**Tom_PM** · 08-07-2006, 05:48 AM

"scrutineering" is my new favorite word.

**Manowar** · 08-07-2006, 07:06 AM

schumacher is an idiot

**quiet** · 08-07-2006, 07:09 AM

it was a great race. very glad to see Button win. i was at both the Canadian and the German F1s this year. This race was the best so far without a doubt.

**Mr. Romance** · 08-07-2006, 07:10 AM

Ok. Idiot or not idiot, word through the grapevine is that if he wins the championship this year, he will retire from F1. Personally I would like him to win the title this year and bugger off, don't think I can stand another year's worth of Schumacher drama.

I'm thinking he'll retire either way. Word is that Raikkonen has already signed a 5-year $160M Euro contract with Ferrari starting in 2007.

That's some pretty heavy 'word'. Ferrari would only do that if Schumacher was really set on retiring, but I wager he'll only leave when he's at the top, like Mansell did.

Thats a lot less than hes on now, i think hes on something like £25mil a year ($50mil)

BMW offered michael schumacher £50mil a year for ten years giving hima total of £500mil!!

**crockett** · 08-07-2006, 12:42 PM

I recorded it and watched it today.. was a good race. Would Have liked to see MS win it, but not much you can do with a car that's steering breaks. It's nice to see Button finally get a win he did a good job this race.

**Installer** · 08-07-2006, 12:59 PM

Ahh fuck I was watching on Tivo. So Button won that's awesome. I'll still finish watching it to see what heppened to Alonso
