And that right there is why F1 is not even in the top 5 of my favorite Motorsports to watch. Lando should have kept that 6 second lead and won the race since he was clearly the better car and driver for the race. If that were to happen in NASCAR that would most likely earn the team a 'not to do it again' warning at least. Most teams in NASCAR let the drivers race the teammates as for whatever spot as long as they don't wreck. Sure on the regular season finale race teammates will give a spot up to another teammate to try to get them in the "Chase for the championship" but they wouldn't give up a win. 

The outcome of today's Hungarian Grand Prix wasn't entirely satisfactory, but it was a good race nonetheless.

McLaren continued their recent good form by locking out the front row of the grid, with Lando Norris starting on pole ahead of team mate Oscar Piastri. Max Verstappen was third, but his team mate, Sergio Perez, crashed in qualifying and started near the back. Despite signing a contract extension, Perez is under mounting pressure to retain his drive after several disappointing races. Mercedes driver George Russell also started near the back after not taking enough fuel to make the best of the changing weather conditions in qualifying.

Piastri got the better start, and Norris found himself in third after Max Verstappen also moved up a place, but he did so by going of the track so his Red Bull team advised him to give the place back in case they got a penalty. This was the first of several team decisions that annoyed Verstappen today. Lewis Hamilton jumped Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr at the start, and undercut Verstappen at the first pit stops. We were then treated to a good fight between Hamilton and Verstappen.

McLaren were well ahead by the second pit stops, but chose to pit second placed Norris first, putting him in the lead after Piastri stopped a couple of laps later. The team told Norris to give the lead back to his team mate (F1 is very much a team sport with a constructors' as well as drivers' championship), but Norris was reluctant as he was clearly faster and only has one victory to his name. In the end, he relented with three laps to go, giving up a six second lead to let Piastri take his maiden win and give McLaren a 1-2 finish. Hamilton resumed his battle with Verstappen after their second pit stops, which ended with collision that sent Verstappen's car into the air. He carried on to finish fifth. Hamilton suffered less from the collision, and finished third to take a record-breaking 200th podium.

At halfway through the season, we've already had seven different winners, which is much healthier for the sport than recent years.

You can watch the 8-minute highlights here.

Next week is the Belgian Grand Prix from Spa - one of my favorite circuits. I hope the close competition continues there.

When they interviewed the McLaren team boss afterwards, David Couthard mentioned that when he drove for McLaren and had to give up the lead to a team mate he was still paid the winner's bonus. I hope Lando at least gets that. The whole situation played out very badly through radio messages, especially as Lando was clearly faster and is ahead in the championship. As Lando closes the gap to Max, I hope the decision doesn't come back to haunt the team at the end of the season.

You have my prayers too Roger.

Praying for you and your family, Roger.

This evening I am going to be reliving the nightmare of 7-22-23 when I lost my only child.  Thank you all for all your support this last year. The accident was at 7:14 EST. If you are so inclined I would appreciate a prayer around then. If not, a loving thought.

I'm not even going to waste my time looking them up. There is no way they are prettier than Miz Tisdale or Lacey Chabert.

Anybody who knows about that vest is a big time Dukes fan. Welcome to the HazzardNet. I always wondered about all that stuff too. I was 25 when the show got cancelled but I wish I would have known what I know now. I would have tried to find a way to get some of that stuff.
I'd sell my house for an original red Jesse hat. Even if it meant living in a tent. I did contact Denver Pyle's son quite a few years ago but he referred me to Denver's widow, who I couldn't get ahold of. 

Sending hugs your way Roger. I am sorry you are going through this. Please know you gave her a great life and foundation for life and that she would want you to be happy and healthy. Please take care of yourself.  I am here if he you ever want or need to chat. I am not good with words, but I'll be glad to listen. 

You always knew when it was a special occasion when Cooter wore the brown leather vest. It was in various episodes sometimes worn by others. In Lukes Lovestory when he singshe wears the vest and Cooter out in the audience doesn’t look happy about it lolol.  I wonder whatever happened to all their clothes after the show got canceled.

Roger... Daisy Dukes It Out is the sequel of the  Racing For Home game.

Rough week around here. We just just commemorated my daughter's (would have been) 40th birthday and Monday will be the first anniversary of her death. It's tough because I feel like I can't win no matter what I do. If I think about it too much it hurts too much. If I don't think about I feel bad for not thinking about her. Life is all about finding the right balance I guess.
