I have always liked Jenson, so I am happy that he pulled off a victory for Honda, even if it came under wet conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Poor luck for Alonso, and M. Schumacher.  Speaking of Schumacher, WTF was he thinking at the end, going toe-to-toe with Pedro de la Rosa?  Is Michael so thickheaded that he did not realize that any finish in the points was going to be a big payday for him on Alonso?  He could have easily came in 3-6, depending on what the rest of the filed was lapping, but he did not want to play it safe.  While I do not know the direct cause of his retirement, I have to believe that it was a result of his aggressive driving.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, I love F1 in the rain because wet conditions almost always guarantee a jumbled field at the top, which was the case today.<\/p>\n<p>This race also looks like the end for Villeneuve; his sub, Kubica, who finished a respectable seventh in his debut race.  I wonder if Villeneuve would consider a tour in NASCAR, much like JPM?  I have always like Villeneuve, even if he has been a \u201chas-been\u201d for the last 6+ years.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations Button!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jenson Button finally took home the top spot on a podium at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix.
